[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 344437, member: 1436"] I wish that all teachers were up to par. Unfortunately, like in the rest of life, you have good and bad. In the south there is no tenure, there are no unions. My contract is actually just a request for consideration. I sought National Board Certification because it offered incentive pay that I desperately need. It means that I make about 425 dollar every 2 weeks---I have two years left before it is discontinued. I coach and teach at least 5 extra hours a week of homebound to make a decent salary after 23 years in the classroom. And I do all this feeling unappreciated and discouraged by the lack of professional treatment by some parents, a few students, uneducated and bitter community members, and elected officials who make laws and hold me accountable without giving me the tools and support I need to do my job. I work hard at my profession and love being in the classroom. I will still be there in two years when my salary is cut by $11,000 dollars a year. But very few will stop and thank me. That's okay---I'm not doing it for them. I'm teaching because I see everyday the lives I touch. [/QUOTE]
