[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 367518, member: 8617"] I meant no offense by my statement and am sorry it could be seen as such. My response to anyone rude would be the same even if it were and old lady, a police officer or a priest. Maybe an immature response but I would certainly hope that people would assume that I am being goofy and not some sort of violent bully. Assaulting anyone is wrong wrong wrong. In my own possibly crass way I was trying to underscore the huge impact and importance of teachers on a young person. I am fully aware of the average children (Mommy's little angel) who turn into beasts at school. I see the way kids these days have less and less respect for teachers. I see how once passionate educators get jaded by the bad apples and lose enthusiasm to inspire others. I am not unsympathetic to a teachers plight. In fact there are a few teachers I hold in the highest regard for their impact on my life. In spite of my distaste for authority there were still those few who really have made a world of difference in my and my difficult child's lives. Teachers are just as important as doctors and should earn the same respect and salary. I mean that with utmost sincerity. Teachers are the main source besides parents in forming young minds. In the case of poor parents a teacher is sometimes all a child has. That legacy can be a strong and wonderful thing or it can go very very poorly as it did in my case and I worry as an observer could happen in this case we are discussing today. I feel that as students and society try to downplay the significance of a teachers role many are not fully aware of what a truly lasting and permanent impact they really have, good or bad. You as a teacher matter in every way. You as a teacher are part of who forges the path for our entire communities future. Without teachers and the aquisition of knowledge we would all decend into dark ages. If someone posted about a bad psychiatrist I would still say punch them in the face. Raising a difficult child has torn my soul into a million little shreds. It has been horrible to my whole family and left permanent damage. When I hear a parent voice off about someone who can cause harm when they are trusted to help it cheeses me off so I spout stupid comments about punching. If I didn't have a bad sense of humor I wouldn't be able to survive this difficult child ordeal. Being childish and [U]sometimes[/U] making light of a tense situation makes it seem less futile and frustrating. Without venting about poking people in the eyes like the 3 stooges I would be in a humorless abyss. I do sincerely beg your pardon. I still cherish Mrs. Erma Doss from first grade. She took me aside and taught me to read when I was behind the rest of the class.
