It's not just "for the job." For those who are familiar with the working conditions for teachers, we all know it's not just for the job. If it were, no one would ever want to be a teacher. As our principal has said, it's one of the hardest professions in the world, and it takes the qualities of leadership, love, and a dedicated work ethic to comply with all the demands of teaching K-12. I come from a long background of professionals in the field of education, and it is in my nature to care about each and everyone of my students no matter what problems or barriers to becoming educated they may have. Let's support our teachers who are in the trenches dealing with our most precious future: our children, our students. anima2 2010-09-10T04:53:25Z Concern comment-23817 2010-03-25T21:37:30Z 2010-03-25T21:37:30Z To think that provert has anything to do with academics is not true,it has to do with teachers teaching the basics. There are to many teavhers in scusd just here for the job. The special education department really needs help because that program is not around just to babysit but to work on these childrens behaviorial problems and to try and make them indepentent as possible.. There are teachers that are here at scuasd just for the job,instead of caring about the students future.
