This is stealing paychecks

I'm tired of it.

If a teacher can't or won't develop rapport with his students, he's not teaching. And he's stealing his paycheck. We all know one like this. Maybe you had one. And there are mean women out there who think they're doing the world a favor by turning their classrooms into gulags. Nobody wins on this one. ( I saw a picture of this woman math teacher once on the cover of an educational journal. She was sort of a cross between Rod Stewart and a female wrestler on steroids. Yikes. And she had this pasty-faced perma-growl stuck on her face. Is there a law against smiling! Cripes.) In addition, many of these teachers want to turn these little ones into little Miss Duplicates, never thinking kids are uniquely designed for a purpose.

Everyone knows that kids need structure and discipline to thrive. Nobody is denying that things can unravel quickly if expectations aren't laid out. But if you're a teacher who went into the profession only because you "..love the content", do us all a favor and quit.

You have to have the ability, or possess the desire to acquire the ability to interact successfully with your students. It's your software. Find it, please.
