With me, it’s just the opposite. Usually about a day and a half into my weekend, I appreciate that I do have a job to go to, a race in which to run, and I look forward to going to work the following day. The pay isn’t the greatest, but most days I enjoy what I do. As far as Caulfield is concerned, it doesn’t show, but I get the sense he is rolling his eyes as he says that.
or, be like this lady at work who never does her job. she is always on a personal call for 8 hours. talking with her friends about the sushi place, townhouses being built in her town, gossip and backstabbing of her friends, or planning a trip to belize. then, she complains about not having enough time to complete her assignments, deadlines are too short, lunches are too short, she is so busy and stressed. she talks way too loud on her cellphone that everyone knows. plus, her annoying laugh.
Regular observers coming in at unexpected times would notice poor teaching skills, out of date school books, etc.Not to forget inept/dictatorial administrators that impose the most lucrative (to their pockets) pogrom du jure like Common Core, Breakfast in the Classroom, or IPad fiascoes that promise to break the hearts of dedicated teachers.
I teach students with special needs. Common Core makes very few accommodations for my students, and actually uses techniques that play into their learning disabilities. Testing last year was a nightmare (for all students) due to user unfriendly technology. While I see the advantages of the underlying Common Core process, it has not been implemented with the “whole picture” in mind.
An average school day is about 6.5 hours long. Most students have 5 academic subjects + PE. If each subject teacher assigns 1/2 hour worth of homework, that ends up being a 9-hour school day, and 1/2 hour is a light homework day per subject for many students. After 12 years of that, plus the ‘socializing’ with bullies that is such a part of the school experience (a school has the only ‘legal’ system where the defender in a fight receives the same punishment as the attacker, and where pointing your finger like it’s a gun is an assault), I’d be looking forward to being at work too.

I loved school, yet I was the same way. Those last few minutes of school seemed like an eternity.

Comicsssfan doesn’t need any help in coming up with even more lies. He’s very creative that way, for a Troll.
