When I was teaching I discovered EVERYBODY is an expert on education - even if they haven't been in a school in 50 years. I got so sick and tired of being bashed, criticized, told I got paid too much for what I do, too many holidays, blah blah blah. I used to tell them that for every hour I spent in the classroom, I spent 1 hour of my own time in prep/extra curricular. I was a Music teacher for God's sake! I spent HOURS every week on bands, trips, fundraisers, concerts, ..... I had 250 students. Every time I gave a test, I had 250 papers to mark. 250 report cards, .... Eventually, I got so sick of it all that when strangers asked me what I did I said that I was a musician. Whew! Glad I got that off my chest!!!
