To all you teachers out there...God bless! I taught for many years in several different states. My daughter is a math specialist in middle schools in a major city and the stories she told me over vacation would curl your hair!!!! The disrespect by some students and parents is astonishing. I keep asking why she doesn't do something else, but she is SO committed to helping teachers help kids to learn math and raise their test scores. She said the kids really need the help and the teachers need support. That said, her two younger brothers, both in business, make way more money than she does. For me, it's not just about the money, it's about respect for her profession. I'm so glad I'm retired now.
