My students once said I was as mean as a snake. I said “thank you.” I miss teaching but will not go back to public high school teaching again. Wish the community college would hire some teachers.

Teaching is one of those Zen things. If you try to be liked, you won’t be; if you try really hard to get the best out of our students regardless of whether they like you or not, you will be liked indeed.

Gato, this was one of my favorites as a kid. I loved the idea that someone would actually get away with writing this. I do feel sort of sorry for Dr. Fell, however

The public school system will at least allow you to TEACH, “mean” or otherwise. Which is far different from any of the other forms of indoctrination-mill around. And, believe it or not, the public school system also gives the pupils the opportunity to learn how to learn as well.
Not according to Rick Santorum, who wants all kids to be home-schooled.

Rural schools are almost always great places to learn and teach. Generally, city schools are usually pretty bad. BTW, teachers need thick skin and a good sense of humor
