No problem. My wife just went back to school to get her state certification so she could become an elementary school teacher. It always frustrates me that people have no idea how many extra hours a good teacher puts in or how much of their own salary they spend on supplies that the school won't usually provide. You take their $27,000 salary (that they "worked 8 months of the year for") and figure they spend 5-10% of their takehome pay on things to make them better at their job. How many other industries do you see that in? That's not even factoring in the undervaluing of what they provide for children and parents. Teachers and cops. People just don't get it. |

Why in "your day" were kids scared of the teachers? What has changed? |

Some kids my age just don't care. That's all it is. I'm in an honors/magnet program at my school and no one would dream of talking back to a teacher. But in the other part of the school, there are lots of discipline problems and such. Also, you may not want to hear this, but sometimes it is the fault of the teacher. For example: I have two teachers. One is able to control the class completely. In the other class, kids talk out ALL THE TIME! Kids get used to this non-strict behavior and eventually stop obeying the teacher. That's what I think, anyway. |

So, what are the consequences for that? In either class? |
