While I do think kids spend far too much time sitting down (at least then did when I was in school), I don't understand the screaming thing. I was not allowed to scream as a kid unless it was an actual emergency (and I usually didn't then, either). Screaming would not get me literally anything except told to "Shut up" and come back when I calmed down. It wouldn't get me attention. It wouldn't get me snacks. It wouldn't get me literally ANYTHING. What on Earth makes kids scream so much? (My backyard neighbors are raising a herd of banshees, I'm convinced. Gosh! All. Summer. Long. Seriously?!)

The Administrators are still horrible, lots of belief for the lies, of the chronic misbehaver, as it is easier than standing up for the teachers. I have been teaching for 26 years and can't wait to retire.

I know for a fact that dental assistants are also underpaid. They don't make enough to afford to live alone and are forced to shake up with room mates because of the cost if living.... After what I have seen recently going on on the school board meetings I am shocked about the number of nit so well meaning teachers the kids have to put up with. So quit whining. Teachers have it better than many other workers in othwr occupations. Hats off to every teacher that is not abusing their position. You want Febreese....my coworker and myself had to keep perfume bottles in our desk cause Febreese was not cutting it for the foul smelling customers that would come into the office. They needed soap first.

What teachers really need in order to survive not just the school year, but the actual calendar year (365 days) is to allow students more time for exercise during the school day. More exercise might help some (but certainly not all) students to focus better. If outside conditions are unfavorable for outdoor activities, do you think you can discuss with the principal or superintendent about having recess in the gym?

Many schools have to use the lunchroom as their gym because there is no separate gym.
