Why I Hate Teaching
Trisha Reloaded said:
I hate teaching because:1) I hate waking up at the crack of dawn. And I hate watching my 7-year-old daughter wake up at such an inhumane hour just to go to school. I don’t care what problems the transport companies will face if we start school later, I don’t care if my ancestors had started school this early, I don’t care if Japan or Switzerland starts school at 7am, I just want our students and teachers to have a decent wake-up time. Is that too difficult to change?

I was never a fan of homework when I was in school. Well, most normal and mentally-sound students probably feel the same....

Trackback from My 2.10 cents worth (with GST):
