I didn't say the person should leave they're home or state---I clearly meant they're job . We see this all the time---people complain about the job they have , yet stick with it.  It always makes me wonder just how smart teachers really are . Why would you take a job you KNOW going in what the duties are , and that you'll never get rich at it , yet you agree to take it anyways and then complain about the duties and pay of the job ?  There's been a saying in college circles for many years " There are those who can---the one's who can't become teachers . "  Meaning our best and brightest reach for the stars--they become doctors , lawyers , and go into other fields . The slackers--those doing just enough to get by ,  mom's who decide to go back to school , one's who are lazy and want summers off ---become teachers .   Since our kids in many cases are taught by slackers--it's little wonder over half our kids can't pass the tests.  We parents share in the blame as well.
