I taught science for a few years.

Administrators ... leave the teachers alone.

Many admistrators have no education experience or credentials. The 'experience' of my superintendent was being a colonel in the military. Spent much of his time getting a return on the district's investment funds.

Yep, you get what you pay for.

If only full-time teachers were paid be the hour, like substitude teachers.

I didn't get paid enough to get home at 7pm tired-out with a stack of papers to grade, eat supper and fall asleep instead. "Oh, and we need you to take admissions at the football game Friday night, and to stay afterwards to help count the money."
