the most important thing to know about the plot of hamlet is that it’s so convoluted that the main character is kidnapped by pirates and it’s not even really a major plot point

Some days you just have to say ‘fuck it, I did what I could today’ and just let go of all the stuff you wanted to do. Life is too short to be angry with yourself for being human.

A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them.

If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.

But nobody should feel guilty for wanting a decent income.

When we focus on how “we’re not in it for the income,” which believe me, I have said and do believe to some extent we under-value ourselves and our profession.

Teaching is an important profession.  We need good teachers.  We need to attract the best teachers we can AND create circumstances to help retain.

If you don’t allow me to make a salary that a) shows a respect for what I do b) allows me to be able afford things reasonable things, c) doesn’t force me into looking for additional income, d)isn’t competitive to professionals in other fields with the same amount of experience of education, and e) you teeter on basically requiring me to spend my personal income on things NEEDED and REQUIRED to do in my job because you don’t provide them….

Why in the world would I stay?

The kids of course.  The passion.   But the mindset of not in it for the income makes teachers that seek a decent income the bad guys.  Because we should “do it for the kids.”   There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be able to support yourself.  Teachers are underpaid.   Teachers are underpaid. 

Teaching: In it for the outcome; deserving of a better income.
