Why do teachers hate their jobs?
I could say it's because the students suck, but that would be too easy.

Today I thought I would share with you a few real reasons why teachers hate their jobs
that I've heard from real teachers when I was in the line of duty as a substitute teacher.
Number One.
The students DO suck!
I know I said that would be too easy, but I've got to put it at the number one spot.
Teachers are in an interesting position in that they've got a to deal with 75 to 100
knuckle heads every single day.
Most of these knuckleheads don't want to be there, many of them don't care about the material,
and some of them spend the entire class period flipping desks.
But none of that is the teacher's fault; they don't get to choose the kids that are in their
classes and the kids in their classes don't get to choose what classes they go into.
These are all the consequences of mandatory government schooling.
Number Two.
Believe it or not, teachers have very little freedom when it comes to what and how they teach.
The content of a state-funded public school is determined by the state Department of Education
and the federal Department of Education.
So that means that in each subject area, the teachers have to teach certain material at
certain times of the year.
Due to the time constraints that they're given, teachers can't spend too much time on things
that are actually interesting to their students.
In addition, teachers are under pressure from department supervisors and other administrators
to teach a certain way.
Whenever the wind changes direction and a new trendy teaching method comes out, teachers
are told to use it even if it doesn't make sense for their classroom.
Number Three.
Teachers are blamed for students that fail.
I'm a huge believer that the student should take responsibility for their his or her education.
I don't think that a proper teacher is necessary for someone to get an education.
When you care about something and you really want to learn how to do it, you're going to
find a way to learn how to do it.
In this day and age, you usually don't need a formal teacher to show you what to do.
You can just Google it!
Therefore, I think it's stupid that a teacher gets all the blame for a failing student.
But there's a problem because not all students want to learn all things.
Naturally, then, the kids that don't care about a particular subject aren't going to
do the work and they might fail.
And on some degree it's not the student's fault either because he or she didn't sign
up for this.
So, the biggest fault is with the school system itself.
Number Four.
Teachers get little to no support from the administration.
I've heard it said that most people quit a job because of their manager.
They might like everything else about the job but that one manager keeps them from enjoying it.
The same is true in the school setting.
Teachers are employees and the administrators are the managers.
And when you're the employee and you know your manager does not have your back, then
you're going to feel a certain way about it.
For example, let's say that you're a teacher and you've got one kid in your class who's
always freaking out, threatening students, threatening you, and doing all sorts of crazy
things in your class.
You write referrals for this behavior every day, the student is down at the vice principal's
office at least three times a week, yet nothing happens.
Why does nothing happen?
Because the administrator does not have your back!
Number Five.
Even though teachers are complaining that they're underpaid, I think, deep down, they
know, after all the benefits are calculated and the salary is calculated and the time
off is calculated, they're vastly OVERPAID for the job that they do.
The problem is they couldn't survive in the private sector and now they depend on the
government money to keep them afloat.
It's really a golden handcuffs situation because once you're in a teacher position and you
know you can't be fired because you have tenure... well... you're going to complain a lot that
you're underpaid, but you know that you're set.
You're making 60, 70, 80,000 dollars a year to make photocopies and hand out worksheets.
And you're getting almost all of your health insurance paid every single month.
And you're promised a fat pension when you retire.
And you've only got to work 25 years to get your full pension.
And you get two and a half months off during summer.
And you've only got about 180 days of actually having to show up to work.
Yeah, it's a pretty sweet deal.
The only reason someone like that complains that they're underpaid is because they have
set their lives up in such a way that they need more money to survive.
If the average teacher complains that they're underpaid, that's their own fault.
No one told you to go buy a house with a mortgage payment that's $2,000 a month.
No one told you that you need to have two or three car payments.
And no one forced you to take on $100,000 of student debt to get your teaching certificate
in the first place.
And no one forced you to go back to school to get a Master's Degree for another $40,000.
If you look at the numbers, teachers are not underpaid.
They only feel that way because they're just like everyone else in America and they put
themselves into massive debt.
What other reasons do you think there are for teachers to hate their jobs?
