I have…unfortunately we live in a small enough town that there’s politics that inevitably gets involved. The only answer I can come up with is to home school Oldman and we just can’t afford that yet.

AMEN Sista Ben! There’s no doubt that teachers, good and bad, have their hands full, beyond what most of us know, but they are what can make or break a kid.
We wonder why school kids are bullying so much today and yet children are getting the same rejection and hassle from the adult teachers! Soft words, a smile and a little gentleness goes further ANYDAY with children than “put-downs”.

Jen.…OK.…first.…I will not wait for my blood to stop boiling before writing this comment. I am a teacher.…I KNOW that there are those that thought when selecting a major, “Oooh summers off…then selected EDUCATION” All I can say is dumb asses! Summer off is to repair your heart, re-set your emotions for another taxing year of children who need you to be positive, to engage, to stand up for them, to love them and yes, I suppose to educate them. Rule One for a teacher: Consistency… as a teacher…you don’t get to have a bad day…you greet each child with a smile and a love that molds. Teachers are the water that turns a hard crusty sponge into something that can absorb. I have had the “hard students” when my humor and love washes over them.… they are ready to hear about verbs and nouns.…until then…it is wasted time. I minor is adolescent psych.…maybe that makes me different…I don’t know…but I want to rush in and hug oldman and tell him NOT ALL of us are like mr. hater! I love him! I want to be his teacher… please tell him that Mr. Hater is wrong…flat out.… he is wrong and some people live lives that they hate and because of their own choices they take it out on others. I am HOT about this! hugs and loves
