Its Ruby Tuesday once again! I'm joining Maryt and many other lovers of red today. If you feel like you want to see "red" join the gang by clicking here!
I'm a teacher. I'm really proud of what I do but unfortunately not everyone can understand this. Sometimes at parties when people have had a few drinks they will repeat this famous saying: Those who can, do and those who cant teach! I keep my cool and smile along while I think to myself that it sometimes feel that the general population must think that teachers attend Clown University:
The other question I'm often asked is: What do you make! Depending on where you live in North America and what level you teach your salary will vary and its also dependent on many other factors. I really like how Taylor Mali handles this question. I'm not sure I will use his answer in future situations but I will keep it in mind! Enjoy!I'm also following Cindi at Little Yayas. She is one of the many hostesses of Follow Me Back Tuesday. If you want to follow her fun blog please click here!
I have several teachers in my family tree. And I'm just as proud as they are of their profession. As you are by how I read your post! If it weren't for teachers, those who CAN wouldn't know how to talk and do!!
ReplyDeleteMine is: a ruby antique. Do come over for a visit if you can today. I'd love your company.
Sometimes we teachers are misunderstood! I agree! But when we can turn students around and give them hope in life, then the struggles are all worthwhile! After all, why do we really teach anyway?
ReplyDeleteVery interesting Ruby post. People who would dare to ask how much money you make are extremely rude and should be embarrassed. But, if they've had a few drinks, that isn't likely. I like Mr. Mali's response. Thanks for following me. ;)
ReplyDeleteTeachers are as close to the pulse of their country as it gets. Teachers have more immediate influence than any other profession. Thank you for all that you do! Keep on teachin' Keep on bloggin'
ReplyDeleteI wish people would be proud to say I am a teacher. I wish teachers would get more respect. I fondly remember teachers from all levels of my education.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet I wish the not-so-wonderful teachers would find another line of work. Some do bring the rest of you down in reputation.
I enjoyed the times I was allowed to be a teacher.
Thank You
A good teacher is a gem. To hold minds and hearts....to nurture, to care for the lives and minds of our young ones...if they do this with honor and respect...
ReplyDeleteThey themselves become an extension of the family unit (in my belief). And as such...should be honored.
I am a new follower. HAPPY HAPPY TUESDAY.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Best ,
Cindi

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and signing up as a follower on my photo blog! I appreciate your comment. Your blog is precious! ~ Teacher's work really hard and don't get enough credit or enough money! See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you that teachers are rarely paid enough. In the lives of so many great and wonderful people, there was always a teacher that influenced them.
ReplyDeleteThere are students that put forth the effort to say Thank You, but most don't and just remember the job you did and how you cared for themn and others.
As far as thew Rubyness of the clown, well, you can't get redder than a clown's nose! Great shot.
