Lets also not forget things like trying to NOT lose your cool in front of 40 
impressionable minds?  I mean in retrospect I cannot belive how few teachers 
in my youth never came to blows over the crap I pulled... 

Also note that there are how many thousand teachers in the United States and 
we maby only hear about 5-10 bad apples every year... HOW MANY OF THESE MEN 
AND WOMEN ARE DOING ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY WITH NO THANKS?!

Yeah im biased... I have one uncle in rehab from teaching in inner philly and 
i have 5 generations of relitives who have taught, been head masters or 
worked at Westtown's Freinds school.  My family has a long line of college 
educated teachers, so i have some warped ideas of things :)

These people have shit work, with no real compensation but maby some higher 
level of thanks if they can keep fooling themselves long enough.

If a teacher sucks, its probibly more our fault than theres IMHO.

Cheers
