It's Pretty Hard

to feel sorry for those overpaid techies who got canned from their industry and went into teaching. Cry me a fucking river about making six figures and working "ungodly" hours (as if teaching ends at 3:30 instead of it being your contracted time). I suppose these people thought teaching would be a good "stop gap" job to take until they could get back into the "better" world of computers. It would be easy. Well, they are finding out just how hard it is. Still, some of them have the arrogance they had when they were rolling in the dough doing a hell of a lot less. Some show their arrogance by bitching and moaning because they have to take those "terrible" education courses when they know it all already.

That's too damned bad. There are a lot of us out here who would kill for a regular teaching position, and we had the ambition to go out and get a real--not emergency--credential. It's pointless to complain, anyway, because all teachers teaching in the classroom will have to be regularly--as opposed to emergency--certified because of the No Child Left Behind Act.
