I remember a time when teaching was described as a 'noble profession'. People got involved in teaching because they genuinely wanted to help educate others.

It seems these days (many) people get into teaching because of the inflated salaries, benefits, pension plans...and the glut of holidays and time off they get throughout the year.

Thankfully my wife and I are nearing the end of dealing with the education system for our two daughters (one has graduated...the other has only two years left). Soon we'll be able to stop shaking our heads and rolling our eyes at the idiocy and surrealism of the system and say a few prayers for future generations of students.
