It's just incredibly tiring to spend so much time fighting. We've thrown out the worst kids...and now I'm on the discipline committee.

It's not unending pain, but the amount of bullshit amazes me. I can earn enough in a year of Sales Engineering to travel a year; here, I make enough to get by. Hmmm.

And....it's daunting, how many hoops they want you to jump through. More every time I look.

And...the standard is SO HIGH. Look around at what is expected of teachers, both in erudition and in behaviour control, and in social justice.

blah blah blah
