- Most children are NOT interested in learning
- Parents are NOT involved like they need to be
- We are highly underpaid for the work we do
- Some people's children make you want to stab them
I am sure that teachers in better districts and teachers in private/parochial schools have a better experience. [/B]

I would agree mostly with this post.
I teach in a private institution (Catholic elementary school) I teach all grades (Pre-K-8th) in art and I have to deal with the different attitudes of each student. I cannot attest to the public educational system because I haven't taught in it and I refuse to teach in it. I've heard too many horror stories. Not only should you not expect recognition from the students but you're lucky if you get it from your collegues or bosses.
Ok, I've just had a really bad day so I need to focus on the good side. I'll return tomorrow.
