I am being teacher-certified, and my parents were both in the teaching profession. I use the word ‘profession’ because it is a professional field. Perhaps teaching is looked upon as being a glorified babysitter to some. I’ve overheard some mothers saying things like, ‘I cannot wait until the kids are back in school,’ or ‘Now that the kids are old enough, I can finally get my life back.’ Especially since many schools at this time are not safe, due to handgun violence, etc., the teaching profession is more than likely to become a reluctant field for some to enter. Perhaps the people who are not interested in hearing about your work either do not place enough importance on education or are just being rude. Some of the complaints I’ve heard throughout my parents’ careers included having a gun pulled on them, having severely abused childern in their classes, parents staggering in drunk to pick up childern from school, etc. The seriousness that this job requires is taken for granted and greatly unappreciated. I believe it takes a very strong person to enter into this field, and I congratulate you on what you’re doing. As far as others’ opinions go, blow it off and keep up the good work.
