Only, treat them like new teachers and let them "figure out" the lesson planning, lesson plan documentation, daily routines, deal with angry or unreasonable parents, etc. After their week is up - IF they make it through the week - make those same comments to them and I bet they'd be thinking differently. <br /><br />www.blessyourheart.blogspot.comMalin (MomtheBomb)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07427308491811075344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-45175733742145045302010-01-20T13:00:35.444-05:002010-01-20T13:00:35.444-05:00I had a neighbor who installed carpets for a livin...I had a neighbor who installed carpets for a living. I never hacked into him about how easy his job was, because I know it's tough--hard on the knees and late night assignments and last-minute jobs and so on. However, I also know that he takes cruise vacations at least once a year and has paid off his mortgage already.<br />When he got started on how easy teaching was one day, I just asked him to give me a phone call when he was done his work for the day and that I would do the same thing for him. And we'd see who woke up whom. He never took me up on it, obviously.Abstract Randomizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17829534891742516251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-58298635136661934142010-01-19T20:41:12.577-05:002010-01-19T20:41:12.577-05:00My usual comment to people like that is "real...My usual comment to people like that is "really, how many classes have YOU ever taught?"<br /><br />-asAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-64795218303943405892010-01-19T08:33:29.763-05:002010-01-19T08:33:29.763-05:00How many times have I heard and participated in th...How many times have I heard and participated in that conversation!<br />And now we are complaining about charter schools to boot.
