I didn't have my teacher hat on. I truly had a hard time reading the
OP's post. I, as both a parent and teacher, have seen the
professionalism of teaching disappear. Parents, news media, and the
general public already have a negative image of the teaching
profession (Those who can,do. Those who cannot, teach). I will not
accept poor writing in any form as "sharing". It is a lack of
professionalism and maybe why the OP has only had 5 sub jobs in 2
years.
