Teachers over here don't get the respect they deserve whatsoever. They get meager pay to teach a room full of brats, idiots, and douchebags then have to go home to a crappy apartment and try to feed a family of four on 30,000 dollars a year. Makes me sick.

So true. As much as I hated my former teachers and was sure they were out to get me - in the end when I look back at it they did teach me a lot of things.

I've never had a teacher I hated. With the exception of my Freshman math teacher. She was so dumb, there were kids in that class smarter than her.

(BTW there is another porn bot in the Fable 2 forum)

Porn bot sorted

Back on topic - yeah, my kid's got Thursday off and whilst I get the whole "we need more money" thing (my best friend is a teacher) I'm annoyed because my kid is already WAAAAAY behind in school, has exams coming up soon and this really isn't going to help...

Isn't she like 8 or something

But yeah, teachers go on strike all the time over here. It was way worse under Howard though with all his IR laws.... What a *******... KRudd FTW!

She's 6 and they think it's a great idea to test them with SAT's...like she doesn't already think she's stupid as it is...

No other kids that I'm aware of...I hope...

On the other hand, these tests is (might be) a good way of detecting trouble with some children's schooling while they're still young. In my previous school we had people who were 14 years old and barely could read, why? Because they had no pressure on them to learn anything because noone would test them!

The tests has its upsides and downsides, but I think the upsides weights more...
