if you are one of the few people who are lucky enough to have a job at a public school, quit whining about pay, the governor, OGTs, etc.

there are lots of us who have paid our dues for years- subbing, working in exploitative charter schools etc- and many of us would give our right arms for your jobs. be grateful for your job. after 6 years of "dues-paying",and a master's degree i still cannot get a job. most of my colleagues in similar situations have left the profession for this reason. i spend my days working for 10 bucks an hour in retail and would give anything to teach. so if you arent happy with the state of education then leave and make room for the droves of us who want and would appreciate your job.

agree with original I have to agree with the original post. I understand that current teachers have paid dues also, but my gripe is with the ridiculous retire-rehire program. Either retire or don't. It is very frustrating when in my area last year of all of the teachers who retired 90% of them were rehired and the 10% that weren't were in fields like Italian and Spani...See More

CB I, too, am genuinely sorry there aren't enough jobs from every educator currently seeking employment. As you may note from my previous posts from last year (and year's past, if they are accessible on this site), I was in your situation only a short time ago. Every day I feel incredibly blessed to have found a job in a district I love with students ...See More
