Re: "the myth of underpaid teachers" no longer true!
Posted by anon on 7/14/09

You've got to be kidding about teaching being desirable. Read
the NAPTA site, endteacherabuse.org, and be informed. You
really and truly don't want to jump into the snake pit called
education and be unlucky enough to work for a mentally
unstable principal who can ruin your career at the stroke of a
pen.

Teaching is not what it was 30 years ago. NCLB and the
privatization mob have ruined it. It's now disposable
teachers, rampant age discrimination, and administrator abuse
gone wild.

Who needs it? You couldn't pay a sane person enough money to
put up with it.
