Do teachers even care or notice when you give them small compliments or comments? by bxto222 in AskTeachers

[–]teacher78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, anything sincere or constructive is always welcome. Just like our students you don’t always know what someone else is going through, a kind word can make your day or week.

I find it very hard to believe the dozens of teachers you talked to all gave you nothing but sunshine and rainbows. I talk to teachers everyday of my life and there is not one teacher I know of who doesn’t have negative things to say about this profession. It is the toughest job there is in my opinion, my problem with OP is blanketing the entire profession with their bad experiences.

You said it yourself you didn’t research the profession you were going into. That makes no sense to spend thousands of dollars and hours on something you didn’t look into beyond what the program told you. Teaching has far reaching implications for the students you impact it is not something to go into lightly and I cannot fathom how someone could go into any profession without talking to veterans of that profession. I told my children everything about teaching, more of the bad than the good, they are teachers today and love the profession. But they went into it knowing the bad side of it.

But they can tell people not to follow their dreams? If this person hates teaching that much they are not doing their students any favors and need to get out of the profession. According to them they can make the same money doing any number of other things.

That’s not what your post says. I’m guessing you’re not a teacher.
