For Educators, Life Is Good
Apparently, not all teachers are whiners, naysayers, and worryworts. Maybe it's just me.
According to this story from a couple of months ago, educators are among those most devoted to the popular line of t-shirts and hats known as Life Is Good.
It's Friday, and September is almost over. So life must be good.
Yes, for all our whining and complaining, life is still so good. I came across a really great cartoon that said: Life is like spaghetti. It's a mess. But it's soooo good!

Of course life is good when:
1) you get a degree that is considered one of the easiest to get on any college campus;
2) you get off work in the early afternoon and have weekends and summers off;
3) you get automatic raises and a job for life, and can't be fired unless you commit a felony (and even then, maybe not).
We'd all love to be so lucky.

Please, Contrarian! I am so sick of these ignorant responses to teachers having it so easy. I challenge anyone to do my job! You wouldn't make it past the first year, and that is not a complaint. I love what I do, but it is hard work and getting a teacher ed degree on top of having to have a major in a particular subject is not fun or easy for that matter. I don't know what you do for a living, but I would NEVER pass judgment on your working conditions if I didn't know what it was all about.
