Thanks for your understanding, Newton. And, when you are in the music part of Public education with performances added, it gets even wore exhausting. But when I started (I'm retired from teaching now) there was not nearly so many added responsibilities, and it was fun. Glad I have only pianos to fight with now. Dan Hallett, RPT public school bash I am beginning to think that too much is expected of the teachers. Teach all day, lesson plans and grade papers all night, three and four days a week? Too much. You cannot work well when you are in a perpetual state of exhaustion. Would you do all that crap for a living? Not me brother, not me. The solution is not more money, get more help into the class room so the teacher can do the important job, teach. Grading papers, administration duties, security issue and discipline problems do NOT belong in the class room. That should not be the teachers job. Newton
