Appreciation


I covered a class in the college today and taught for the entire time.  The class was attentive and worked the entire time.   At the end, they thanked me for being there. The administration thanked me for coming in.

The people in charge of NYC schools can learn a lot from these community college kids.

It's not about the money.  A million dollars couldn't get me back in a high school.  Appreciation and respect is what does it for me.

You've nailed it. I agree with this post 100%. There is no comparison between the public schools and the community college system. CC wins, hands-down, in every possible category.

Sad, isn't it. Our public school students are being cheated, and our public school teachers are little more than slaves. At the community college, we are professionals.
