Wow! I went to a school where I had maybe 100 kids in my class. We had drive your tractor to school day and had the first day of gun (deer) season off school.

Someone posted that Teachers only work 2/3 of the year.

Yah, if they want to teach kindergarten all their life...
Most will start their day about milking time and come home, eat, then start correcting tests an start working on the next lesson. Then in the ""Summer"", they go back to school to earn more teaching credits. When they are not doing any of that, many work a part time job or do work on the side.
Inspite of doing all that, they are not rich, but earn a comfortable wage.

You're right, it could end up bad. That doesn't mean you should go on flaming him every single time he posts about his job. He said what he said and he's taking the risks of whether or not it ever gets found. If that happens, his superiors will call him into question and he will have the chance to explain himself. May lose his job, may not.

I understand your frustration with what he said, I really do. If a teacher said that TO my kid, I'd be pretty pissed off. Saying it about them to other people is a totally different story. But as a friend of Austin's, I have only ever seen him get flustered when he couldn't get up a hill to get to Orange. Even when he's been in a shitstorm with his Jeep at WF, he was still calm and collected. I imagine that's how he treats his students as well. Firm without blowing his top.

Saying things about people behind their backs is part of life. I've done it. I imagine you've done it as well. Sometimes it gets out whether you post it on a public forum or not. People talk. And on the subject of Austin's teaching ethics, I believe you talk too much.

I'm not trying to act high and mighty. There have been things I have ranted at people for. Even recently. But when the conversation ends, you don't see me bringing it back up every time. I say just let this one go.

I'll say the same thing about this that I said last night about schools having programs for teen parents.

I'm glad that schools have programs like these implemented, but I'm sad that they have to exist.
 
Hell we had trucks in our parking lot with shotgun racks in the back window. We did have the local pd walk the k9 through the halls from time to time tho but what small town doesn't have their potheads?

He said what he said and he's taking the risks of whether or not it ever gets found. I believe that with a PROFFESSION this risks should not be taken, he has spent way to much time in his life to become a teacher, why piss it away? If that happens, his superiors will call him into question and he will have the chance to explain himself. May lose his job, may not.

Saying things about people behind their backs is part of life. I've done it. I imagine you've done it as well. I certainly have, but not about my customers at work to say, other customers or anywere they may hear about it. And Austin's students are his customers. Sometimes it gets out whether you post it on a public forum or not. People talk. And on the subject of Austin's teaching ethics, I believe you talk too much.

I'm not trying to act high and mighty. There have been things I have ranted at people for. Even recently. But when the conversation ends, you don't see me bringing it back up every time. This has been one conversation that has yet to be dropped. I say just let this one go.

They chose to be teachers, its a free market if they don't like what they are getting paid to do what they do, then do something different (this is what I tell people who work for me when they start complaining).

This point exactly. We all made career and life choices, some just better than others. Camille was a teacher for @ 15 years and coached track and cross country for a number of those years. We sat down one evening and discussed what she was making and her reply was "I am making a difference". That is fine and dandy, but "making a difference" does not pay the bills. She was unhappy teaching towards the later years and when we put the pen to the paper, she was not making jack shit for the hours that she put in. Contrary to popular belief, most teachers work well beyond 2/3 of the year and when broke down, it comes out to a meager wage for college educated individuals (Camille holding a Matsers with a 4.0..what a waste in my opinion). When it is said and done, teachers teach because they want to, if they didnt want to, then they can go virtually anywhere else and make the same (or often better) money and not have to put up with the ever changing state requirements, internal politics, shithead parents and know it all kids. In our (Camille and I) case, we were fortunate enough to be able for Camille to leave the school system under great terms with an "open door" policy if she ever wanted to return. She said she may return later in life if she so feels like it, but highly unlikely. Now I can see a portion of Kmans gripe about posting about the kids in a public forum that could be found very easily, but hey, Austin is taking that chance upon himself, so be it. We all have needed to vent around here at one point or another, we all have had our balls busted by someone on here at one point or another (or will have, just wait your turn) and we all know that we are like a family here. Now that is all off my chest...lets hear more about Sam and Rew's hussy chick story.

This has to be the most senitmental/useful post I have ever seen you make. I am feeling kind of touched, but a little uneasy since you never mentioned hookers or blow.
 
I know a few teachers and the happiest one I know is the retired one. She loved teaching kids, but the crap that went along with it, she hated (bad principals, bad students, etc). Knowing other teachers, they work well beyond the school day grading tests and other things. On top of that, they have workshops they have to attend. In Indiana, they used to have parent teacher conferences during the school day (kids were let out early) and workshops after kids got out half days. The former school super said no, either full day or it doesn't count towards the 180 days of school rule. Now all that has to be done after school hours. They also have workshops in the summertime (a teacher friend of mine just did a work shop at a local college during the summer). Teachers starting out aren't paid jack crap, towards the end, they might get a descent wage for the hours they put in. I already said my thoughts on Austin's issue (better to vent on here then on the kids).

You guys are busting Austin's balls about what he posts online...

I choose wisely what I post online. If it has to do with work, I'm usually very vague or I relate to the incident by was online news media posts for the public. I'm very careful to post specifics or not specifics about things that go on.
