I know teaching is a very hard job.  I have friends who were teachers and left it for various reasons.  The pay and high cost of insurance was the reason for one of them, the children's behavior and lack of support for teachers was another.

You'd have to be crazy to want to be a teacher.

I feel like an armchair quarterback by talking badly about teachers, but from my end as a parent and someone who's raised multiple teachers I think i deserve to be heard.  I've tried to talk it out but teachers aren't really responsive.

I've spent many nights at the kitchen table helping the kids do their homework when it's late in the night.  They should be winding down and relaxing.  What usually ends up happening is I learned that their mind is too worn out at this point and I do the homework for them.  It's not helping anybody at that point.

When my son would get home i'd get food in his stomach and then we'd try to bang out the homework.  again, that is a time when he should be resting and having some recreation.  he's been at school for 8 hrs!

So from what i've seen with my stepdaugher is they cut homework but then they are passing kids that arent prepared.  you just cant win.
