money’s an illusion …
money’s an illusion anyways
Mali isn’t …
Mali isn’t complaining about how much teachers make, he’s speaking of the impact teachers make on their students, and the reward of it is much more important than what his salary is. He’s trying to get his point across to this lawyer that life is not about money, it’s about the difference you make while you live your life.
I loved this, I’m at college to become an english teacher, and this is incredibly inspiring
goosebumps. a …
goosebumps. a genius and an artist.
go fix it. Stop …
go fix it. Stop whining and become part of the solution.
He was ranting …
He was ranting about the nerve of the guy for asking, not complaining about teachers’ pay. Well done!
i agree with you!!!
i agree with you!!!
I personally …
I personally believe they should be paid more, keep in mind without a teacher you have no other professions. All doctors, lawyers, scientists, politicians, etc. received quality education. That being said, I am very anti-government control and wasteful spending. So, I don’t know the solution. I don’t know how any decent teacher could get away without doing anything during summer though. If they are a bad teacher, then that’s a different story.
MY initial point …
MY initial point was on pay if your wife doesn’t complain about the pay then my comment isn’t for her to begin with.
I know its (Stress) …
I know its (Stress) high for inner city school teachers, thats not who I was directing my comments towards.
If she wants lower stress she shouldn’t be in the inner city.
My focus is for the teachers that & complain about their job.
BTW, I see MANY teachers that DON’Tdo anyhting during the summer.
My wife is a …
My wife is a teacher, she chose to teach in an inner city school with parents that are worthless and choose to ignore problems until the child fails. Then, takes it out on the teacher as if it’s her fault. Her motto is so cliche, she believes if she can get through to just one student it’s all worth it. She doesn’t complain about the pathetic amount of pay that she earns. She works many hours, through summer and evenings with planning, etc. Stress is through the roof. U know not of what u speak.
I’m all for …
I’m all for teachers I thinkg the world of of them I just belive based on their duties, time off, benefits, stress, hours & the fact that they are paid by the tax payers……..
they don’t deserve anymore money for teaching. IF YOUR WHINING ABOUT NOT GETTING PAID ENOUGH, YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE BECOME A TEACHER
Some people choose …
Some people choose to teach just so they can work with kids…
But there are teachers out there that shouldn’t be teaching… and there are others that are amazing. It is a calling, not everyone can do it.
Way to go Taylor!!!!
well, teachers in …
well, teachers in public schools get paid on tax-payers hard work.
Stop BITCHING! You want more money go out & create it for yourself.
For the amount of work they do, benefits, retirement they should be grateful.
sent chills up my …
sent chills up my spine!
how is that …
how is that embarrasing u ball licker? lol moron thers a word count here so im obviously cutting it down. haha good comeback by the way watta wanker lmao!
BURN! He killed it
BURN! He killed it
“Who the do u …
“Who the do u think taught u to be literate?” Pull your head out of your ass, 88anitsirhc, and stop embarrassing yourself.
xipm3 uv obviously …
xipm3 uv obviously had some teachers and a fukd up little childhood sumwhere along the line – i feel sorry for u- its also sad that u hunt down teacher based videos and make an effort to post negative comments…without teachers u wouldnt have doctors, lawyers, tradies, or ne one? even tho u hate ur past teachers u write so well – who the do u think taught u to be literate? u think u discovered it on ur own? NO a teacher taught u jackass! u tell em mali!
Go Taylor!!
Go Taylor!!
BAM!!!!
BAM!!!!
bigeddunkel- you …
bigeddunkel- you are 100% dead on the nail – these pompous, self important teachers, and everyone who thumbed you down, bravo!
i am ok with …
i am ok with EVERYONE- so long as they do not impose their ideals, and ideas of what others should be doing ON ME or ANYONE ELSE. the fact is- school imposed on me, it imposed on my ability to pursue my dream (At the time), it imposed on me and other students as well- values which i find childish, ideas which i find absurd, and teachings which i find to be limited, or plain old wrong.
I said past High …
I said past High School as in the sense of you didn’t do anything after High School in an educational sense. My problem is not with your life choices, and I commend you on following your dreams. However, others choose to educate themselves in medical/technical issues and spend their lives doing things that require higher education (college/med school/etc). Saying that REAL jobs don’t require higher education is insulting to those who choose to follow those paths.
i have the utmost …
i have the utmost respect for my teachers- the people who talk alot in school- the people who jib jab their mouth, pass down judgement like candy- think they are smarter, better than the students (and in most cases the students are not much better) are not my teachers. even though i did respect them in the classroom, now that i graduated i am in the mind to go back and slap them and say “YOU ARE AN IDIOT”
i said i graduated …
i said i graduated highschool- and i graduated with honors. the fact is- i didnt learn much there besides how to endure an ocean of trivial nonsense and bullshit. and you know what i can say about myself that i cant say for most people? i am pursuing my dreams, and that is in my opinion the single most important thing in a human being’s life.
