If the teachers I had were to teach today a lot of them would be in jail for assault and abuse. Times have changed. Today at our elementary schools the top waged teacher will at the end of their union contract make 94 thousand per year.Not bad for about eight months of work.Their union owns among other things the Toronto Maple Leaf hockey team and other investments in the billions.
What he said. Many of my teachers were just "poor teachers" and as a guy who needed a little bit of "extra push" I suffered several bad situations during crucial classes.
Algebra one teach, a REAL poor teacher, had had a stroke early in the year. Worse, after we re- aligned ourselves with the much better "sub" HE came back later in the year--completely disrupting the skedule. I didn't learn a damn thing from him

Hot teachers? Um, no. Most were old enough to be my grandmother
