My mom's friend's son is a high school teacher. He started out as a substitute teacher for 2 years before becoming a full time teacher. He would tell me awful stories on how he had to deal with disrespectful kids at times when he was a sub and the situation only became worst when he became full time. The low pay didn't help with the fact he had to deal with high school kids who just refuse to cooperate. Looking back, I was a good kid in high school but I had friends who were just total assholes to anyone in authority. The summer holidays would not come close to making up for the low pay and respect that a teacher has to endure in the public school system.
Does anyone know is the grass greener on the other side (private school wise)?
