This week, I read yet another book that I got at the "bag sale". I picked it up thinking "Well, cool, if this teaches me to make $100,000 a year, I'm all for it!!".
The book aims to prove that teachers should make as much as any other "smart people" profession, such as being a lawyer or a doctor. With this, I agree. Teaching does take a lot of energy as well as skill. One of its major points is that in other countries, teachers are much more highly regarded
However, the book annoyed me. It seemed to be very complainy about the life of a teacher. From reading this book, one would think that a teacher is an abused slave worker in a third world country (no joke!). Maybe I'm still unjaded because I'm not "officially" a teacher yet. However, I've had enough long-term sub jobs to pretty much know what day to day life is like. I don't feel that the author shared the joy of being a teacher or highlighted any of the good parts. It was quite depressing! Oh well. I suppose this is yet another book that I likely won't get all the way through, but I'm glad I gave it a try!
