Why do teachers wine?

Having less homework isn't going to give a teacher less work. I heard they are one of the lowest paid professionals. They are disrespected by kids and if they call a meeting with some of the kids parents they are disrespcted by the parents because there are some parents that don't think they need to have anything to do with their child or childrens learning and anything else so if their kids are doing bad it is the teachers fault. They take papers home to correct and they sit up and work on their lesson plans. I think they can whine as much as the kids do. lol If it is happening everyday at your school then your teachers must be way under paid. Yes it is their job but I for one think they need more pay.

Teachers really don't get paid as much as you think. They have a certain amount of material they have to cover for the semester. Most of the time they have to take the work home and do it without getting paid for their time. I would be whining too.

Likely for the same reason students whine about having to write the papers or take the tests. And, the students are only doing the amount of work for one -themselves. Depending on the size of the classroom, teachers have to look at way more papers than the average and whiny student (I was a student, so I know students whine) does. And, cutting down on homework won't do a thing. The ratio could still be student -1 paper to teacher - 30 papers. As far as getting paid, I don't think there's a job on earth that doesn't have its annoyances, even if you get paid.

Have mercy with your poor teachers LOL! Now, seriously, have you ever noticed that only those teachers who feel that they are performing a job whine? You must know one or two good teachers, and I'm sure they never whine. They are dedicated to their work, and don't just see it as a means to bring money home.

Teachers don't get paid much and a lot of the hours they put in are actually unpaid. The homework you are given is for your own good - not your teacher's. When I became a teacher it wasn't for the money (or holidays!), but because I wanted to help children learn. I knew about the bad pay, long hours and annoying paper work, but I wasn't expecting the abuse (physical as well as verbal) that I would receive from pupils. I don't really whine (apart from this once!) but I am not surprised when teachers do.

yeah but then why would be in school

If this post is any indication, I'd say your teachers should be giving out more homework. For some reason, children these days seem to think that school and homework are useless and that parents and teachers make you do it because we are cruel and trying to punish you. I could barely understand the meaning of your post because it was full of spelling and grammar mistakes. Teachers are not paid enough or respected enough. They don't have time during the day to correct papers, so they have to bring it home and do it on their own time. They have to deal with disobedient, unruly children, demanding parents, and even more demanding school administrators. It is not an easy job, and it is thankless. Give your teachers some respect and try to remember that they are there because they care, not because they are getting paid so much.

jopski15 teachers whine because they are human, you whine 'because you are human when you complain about too much homework. I think we all think the grass is greener on the other side' of the fence in other words teachers think the students have things much better, and you students think your teachers have things a whole lot better. So just relax and dont worry about'any of that.

i hate teachers

I'm a teacher in the UK. All my friends who did the same degree as me, went on to computing jobs where most of them earn megabucks. I don't earn a lot of money, I have an unimaginable amount of paperwork to do, which includes coursework marking, exam setting and marking, homework setting and marking as well as lesson plans on a yearly, termly, and weekly basis. This is not usually something you can use year on year. It has to be adapted and changed to the group you are teaching and to take account of the syllabus changes. Everbody thinks that teachers have the most amazing holidays but usuallly, because teaching is quite intense, by the end of the term you are truly running on empty and most teachers I know need those holidays to recuperate. Christmas holidays are used to prepare Mock exams, Easter holidays are used to mark the exam coursework and the Summer holidays are used to get over another year! Add to that the extra curricular activities which we have to do - clubs, excursions and parents' meetings, you can understand why we whine. I have also worked in an office - and although we would have a rush (when month end came round) we were never 'that' tired that we needed a break. I think teaching is truly a calling - because most of us do it because of the buzz we get working with children. No matter how interesting the office, filing, accounts and telephone queries just aren't the same.
