"There is no climbing the ladder in the school system. You are either a teacher or an administrator. Constantly proving that you are a good teacher is ridiculous. In order for you to get help for a student, you have to jump through a zillion hoops before anything actually happens. You work your butt off & there are teachers that take advantage of the system & don't do what they are suppose to & you wind up getting reprimanded. Parents either like you or hate you, no happy medium. They come with a chip on their shoulder or agree with everything you say and do nothing to help their child. VERY frustrated!!"

"I would get rid of grading schools. I would change the FCAT testing. I would not put the sole purpose of a student failing on the shoulders of the teacher."
