This fall when the fields and lined, the crowds are out, the band is playing and the teams are taking the field, the iHigh Broadcast Network will be there. They work long hours and aren t paid nearly enough for all the effort they put into their jobs. And many teachers are also coaches, which requires more time and energy even after the last bell has rung for the day. Some school districts are now requiring teachers to pursue a master degree in education. So now teachers have to teach all day, coach in the afternoons and head to graduate school at night.
Teachers also have to deal with teenagers all day long.
They face laziness, frustration, tardiness, disrespect and any other emotions our hormone-charged bodies throw at them. More and more, with less parental involvement, teachers also have to pick up the slack as parents. Teachers have harder, more complicated jobs than most people realize and they aren't receiving the money or respect that they deserve. Teachers also have to deal with the emotional aspect of teaching. Every August they start school with new faces and names to remember.
