My uncles and aunts are educators and they tell me that it is a thankless job. The hours are long and the pay is low. Besides, for teachers who are in charge of exam classes, the pressure they face s tremendous because they have been placed the heavy responsibility of ensuring that each and every student score.
No matter what, my uncles and aunts seem to enjoy their work. Perhaps it is very rewarding to see that the students under their wing have made it good and become somebody in life. Or perhaps it is because of the long school holidays where they still get their pay check.
In any case, teachers need the support to stay motivated. As a student, it was like my mission to make the days tough for my teachers. I guess with students like me, teachers need to come up with ways to change my awful attitude.
This website, http://TeacherLingo.com, is a website created for teachers. This community of teachers can use the features on the site for free, set up teacher blogs & lesson plans, share ideas and support each other in their very noble career of shaping the younger generation.
The most important aspect of this teacher community portal is that teachers get a chance to vent their frustrations and there will always be a sympathetic ear!
