[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 260710, member: 1485"] When I was between jobs, I got desparate (it was 10 days between the time I was let go and when I started my new job, but as a parent with bills and two kids under the age of 3 I would have sold an organ if need be). So as I was contemplating my future and applying to anyone willing to take me, I had this inkling that maybe I could be a teacher. AFter all, North Dakota rural schools are seemingly hiring anyone with a pulse to mold the brains of their children. I enrolled for online college classes through Mayville State. As I went through the classes (in the evenings after work and the kids were in bed) I did more research into my life-altering career change. The more I dug, the more I didn't like what I saw. Teachers were dropping like flies. The rate of newly graduated, energetic, passionate teachers burning out is astronomical. And then I had two high school friends who'd taken the teaching course quit their jobs and take up other professions in the matter of a couple weeks. They'd been in the field for 5 or so years and couldn't take it any more. Horrible parents. Worse kids. A system that sides with anyone BUT the teachers. Enough was enough. I finished my semester (4.0 by the way) and said that was that. Luckily the job I took has turned into a great career. But I fear for my kids. I know I'll do whatever I can to give my kids' teachers the power to make decisions they need to make in order to bestow knowledge, life lessons and discipline on my children. And hopefully the other kids' parents feel the same way. [/QUOTE]
