Got Something You Want To Say?

"Red rag to a bull", anyone?

Seriously though, q-san, you couldn't have picked a worse thing to say to a teacher *having heard the same thing many times from Mrs A.D.*

:ashamed: Gomen nasai.

I just get really frustrated with people who just don't understand how hard a job can be. And not just teaching. ANY kinda job. Like I had a friend complain about how much construction men get paid just for "fixing roads". I blew up on her as well.

You can't know how hard a job is until you work it. But yea, I'd really like to know where Qilver is getting his facts from. Get off work at 2-3pm?!

i'd probably hear an ear-ful from my sister(who is a teacher), as i am here not to cause any higher blood pressure and conflict. I am not one to start any flame wars or even an unhealthy debate. Please accept my apologies for my ignorance.

in esscense(spelling :beaten: ), we all have our hard days, and yes, although teachers get the summer off, unpaid, they do stay until 5 or later, and bring their work home. unlike some of us corporate world folk.... :doh:

Are you on crack?! I'd like to know what teacher gets off at 2-3pm!

Lets get one thing straight. I start work at 7:30am. I don't STOP working until 5:30pm (sometimes 6:30pm). Then I come home and prep lessons for the next day, which usually takes me into 7:30pm or 8-9pm, depending on the amount of marking. Now, granted, this isn't EVERY DAY. But if it's not, it means we do this work on the weekend, and therefore have NO weekend.

We get March break off, yesh, but we get it to write/create our midterms. So it's not all play. We get Christmas break off (2 weeks), but again, we have exams RIGHT AFTER, so it's all in preparation. Plus, it's only 4 days off if you don't include all the NATIONAL holidays that EVERYONE gets off.

Then there's summer. Contrary to popular belief, highschool teachers don't get TWO months off. They get ONE. But then, that's more than the "corporate" world, so I won't complain.

In the end, yesh, we get time off. Moreso than most. But that's only time off the work ENVIRONMENT. Not time off work. Our job never ends.

And just to hit the nail further, you "corporate" people don't have to deal with icky teenagers 24/7. I'm lucky if I get a lunch break.

>>steps off soap box<<

again, i would hear an earful from several people besides you on this, so ...i didn't really mean to start this...
i can see your frustration, and i shouldn't have said those comments. Honestly, it is not a fair accessment, and i do not give credit when it is due for teachers, afterall, i was once thinking of going into the educational field. I just felt that, at times they get off earlier, and have some more breaks, but keeping in mind, the workload, although different, can be as challanging and hard, if not sometimes harder, that i do acknowledge.
I am not one to start heated debates, so, please accept my apologies. :victory:

You preaching to the choir here (wife's a 2nd grade teacher). The perception is there because the kids leave at 3pm, so that means the teachers' job is done.... Oh no.. :say_no:

I would never last as a teacher. Those kids would feel my wrath and I would get the heave ho out of there. No way for me. I'd rather forge my way through hours and hours in front of a computer monitor than subject myself to that.

As above... Mrs A.D. is a kindy teacher, and i'm in full agreement with you. I would not last 5 minutes.... you could never pay me enough to be a teacher, ESPECIALLY a high school teacher :)

Tokyo Tower is 1092 feet at the top floor. 13 feet taller than the Eiffel Tower. :victory:

@Wyn-chan-Several of my best pals are teachers. THey come to dinner.... straight from work. Hope your kids parents appreciate you! :D

I'm not just another pretty face. :beaten:


Honestly, the orchids are apparently pretty robust plants: even I haven't been able to kill 'em after seven years. :sweat:

and a wrong assumption on my part for those hasty comments in regards to teachers. I do acknowledge the hard efforts and workloads of teachers, as my sister is a kindergarten teacher, and the girl i went out with is one too. So, wynter hats off to you in your hard work, and please accept my apologies. I also think i don't have the patience that a teacher would have with kids, and it takes great organizational skills to handle that profession.

Thanks for the support, guys! :glomp:

@Q - It's not so much what you said, but that you said it in a half-assed way and then took it back when people started to disagree with you. Don't make flippant comments and then apologize because you don't want to back it up. If you're going to make a comment, back it up or at least stand up for your views. Otherwise don't make such comments at all.

Anyways, I'm not upset about it anymore. Just be a little more understanding next time. And not just towards teachers, but anyone who doesn't share the same profession as you.

O, by the way, if you guys read the thread in the Suggestions forum, you'll see that someone hacked in and deleted 20 male artistes' profiles, plus info on three dramas. :sweat:

Some people are so... UGH!

Oh god, that's annoying. Stupid people. Like they have nothing better to do than stuff like that.
