I am normally very good at keeping my mouth shut but this is going to be a one time rant and I will be done.
I am completely appalled that someone said anything about a teacher getting a summer job, no matter what it is. Educators have the most thankless job on the planet and this just adds insult to injury. Unless you are a teacher or are married to one you have no idea the amount of time, effort and passion that a good teacher puts in for basically poverty wages. I cannot believe that farmers/ranchers (very close second most thankless job on earth) would say anything about a teacher trying to better themselves by having a summer job. It shouldn't matter what kind of job it is or who they were hired in front of.
Teachers put up with kids who could care a less about what kind of effort the teacher puts in, all most of them do is argue and disrespect the teacher who is there trying to help them improve their future. Then they put up with parents who think their child is an angel and couldn't do wrong, and the parents think that teacher just doesn't like their kid. Then they put up with increasing pressure from the state to get the kids to perform on state testing while they try to cram more material into the same number of school days. All of that for just barely better than poverty. Hooray for the teacher/s that sparked this thread.
I am an educator and a farmer and I will add that most teachers don't teach for the money. Its all about the kids and its those few kids that you get to make a difference with that keep teachers teaching. Education is the most rewarding job on the planet(IMHO). People should be ashamed of themselves for saying anything about a teacher trying to make money in the summer.
