Teachers are people who have chosen the profession of (hopefully) imparting knowledge, creating understanding, assisting in application of the knowledge and understanding, and assisting & motivating kids to attain higher-level thinking skills.
Most of those I know are caring, dedicated and work 11 months a year (yes, during the summer) and 7 days a week, 12 hours a day M-F during the school year.
Of course, as with any profession, you have lame-os and deadbeats.
The pay sucks if you work in one of the "Education? Why Bother?" states, like Arizona.
But, watching kids actually try to learn, take standardized test after test (thank you GWBush) and still maintain a sense of humor and enthusiasm makes it worthwhile.
On the downside: Parents who are less than useless, kids who are totally unmotivated and chose to destroy the learning environment and the administration that supports that (thankfully not all administrators are like that) for fear of Karla's mom getting angry that Karla won't be moving to 8th grade... Yes, in Arizona if the kid fails every class and misses 85 days of school, the parent can override the teachers' recommendations to retain the kid.

Julio wrote a letter that said, "If it weren't for my teachers, I'd think all adults were drug addicts and losers."
Pretty cool! My teachers lined up on the last day of school so we could throw pies in their faces!
I have had some astoundingly good teachers and some abysmally bad teachers.
The contributors for some of these "teachers" entries really should have been paying attention to their teachers, then wouldn't look like such asswipes by their horrid use of language and spelling skills which testify to their dumbfuckery.

A person who doesn't get respected in the real world so he resorts to making kids lives miserable. They get paid NOT to kill you. They think their job is so wonderful, so pristine, and holy that they raise themselves up to be gods. When in reality, they are a civil service worker that takes more college credits. You are not the best at something if you can teach it, that just means you can talk to yourself, as a split-personality, immature kid.

Person who only pretends about a kid's education, really they are just doing it for the money.
Usually makes jokes that are only funny to them or acts like a douchebag.

Someone who tricks you into thinking you're going to have fun,really they are just trying to change your personality.
The art students were very introverted,unlike the teacher,so she tried to make conversation with them,instead of letting them get on with their artwork.

There are many types of teachers:
1. Good: Straight, Smart and Fun, Not Hurting Students in Any Way, Helps Greatly!!!
2. Okay
3. Bad: Ones that treat you POORLY, ones that looks like crap, ones that stare at you and then look away, "pen--" heads, Ones that tell you to be quiet for no reason, Ones that put you somewhere else for no reason especially detentions, Ones that hate you for no good reason, Idiots that are very gay, racist, a-holes, not fun, very hard workers that get pisses, dictators, ones that want to shock you like a Goblin-Witch!!!
Students may have mostly bad teachers in their whole life, OTHERS THINK ABOUT TAKING OVER SCHOOL SO THEY WON'T DIE AND ESTABLISHING A RULE AGAINST BAD TEACHERS and I MEAN WHEN THEY GROW OLDER, others may not care, and others have the best teachers, and and others think ABOUT going Ninja-Style and Get Every TEACHER POSSIBLE that is bad, and others want to go to the best place in the world and have a very good time...

Did I mention that some teachers heads get wet from their head when they're very pissed and they have to clean off they're heads.
And some teachers can eat a whole horse, literally, and act like dictators. And some students might hunt them down like a Native American to a buffalo when they grow up!

A state employee who, as such, doesn't know what real work is and complains about getting paid $40,000-$110,000 with a pension to work part time for 8 months of the year.
Teacher: Teachers don't get paid enough. We need more money or your kids will all end up garbage men
Tax payer: You get paid more than my wife and I combined to "grade papers" and drink coffee from 8 AM to 1:30 PM with a 2 hour lunch, last year they raised our property taxes to build an addition to the teacher's lounge, and every day my kids come home dumber
