Wife a great teacher. Others I'm not a fan of.
My wife has been a teacher for a long time. She is great at what she does, and she puts lots of effort into her work. She used to be really social with other teachers in her building, but not so much anymore the past about 7 or 8 years. I just feel bad for her, because she is at a building in which the teachers are all clique. She of course is not part of the popular crew, and is not invited out to things.
Then there are teachers who do TikTok. Teachers who do TikTok are the most annoying and attention seeking ones out there. As fake as they come. And the most attention seeking and obnoxious ones are always the ones that get recognition and praise.
My wife is not a fake kiss ass, and I get that's why she doesn't get the respect she deserves from administration. Other teachers have copied her lesson plans, and of course they get the praise, but my wife never gets the credit.
- Teachers can also be cruel with gossip and how they talk about others. Bullies at times. Just so fake. My wife doesn't eat in the teachers lounge, just because of how some of these teachers are.
- No offense, but if your kid has a teacher who does social media posts, most likely they are obnoxious and attention seeking.
- But my wife will say it's easier working with a male teacher on your grade level team. No drama with men. She's only had 3 male teachers she's ever been on the same team as, and never any issues.
- Depending on the teacher, many are overpaid, and some aren't. Even though my wife has reached 6-figures (around 110K, she is still underpaid. And then there are those who make maybe $75K who are much overpaid because they are lazy and don't do much.)
- And many people think teachers are underpaid. They aren't. They get paid well.
- Overall, I'm not a fan of a lot of teachers. It's a popularity contest much of the time. Yes, there are some very good teachers out there.
