In Florida you must be a certified teacher...IE degreed and credentialed.... is it like that in your state too?

OOHH!!! I would be so mad!!

Who told you that? Nowadays children learn LOTS of stuff in kindergarten, and they are so open to learning new stuff when they are that young. I'm so sorry...I can't believe that is the opinion of most people!

It has been over 40 years and I still remember my kindergarten classroom and teacher.

Don't remember my babysitters.

Just remember it always seems to be the ignorant that are quick to make the stupid comments.

I teach 7th/8th, but I do not have the patience to TEACH Kindergarten.

Let it go, cause they will still remain stupid long after you have gotten over being mad.

Lisa, you plant some of the most important learning seeds in the whole process, with reading-readiness, numeracy and number sense, social skills, etc. As a resource/student services consultant who deals with senior high, I KNOW what you and your peers are worth - SOLID GOLD!

That is unbelievably rude for someone to say that. Any teacher, regardless of what age, is absolutely instrumental in any child's development.

That was just plain ignorant.

Grrrrrr. . . . .

I still have the Tooth Faery Pillow my kindergarden teacher gave me. She was one of the best teachers I ever had. I learned a lot in kindergarden. Teachers deserve respect. I know I couldn't handle a room of full of kids, muchless TEACH them anything! I'll help with the buttwhoopin'

That's simply El Torro Poo Poo!

Translation- BULL SH*T!

THANK YOU! For being a teacher and being a teacher that cares

Who said that and why?

You KNOW that's not true. So don't let it get to you (I know that's easier said than done.) What does the person do who said that to you? I'm sure that whatever it is, it is nowhere near as important, or challenging, or rewarding as what YOU do.

And I still remember my kindergarten teacher AND the teacher's aid who was in the class, too. In fact, I remember all my elementary school teachers. They were all so special and important in shaping the kind of person I have become. And when your students are pushing 30 (like me), they'll remember you, too.

(((HUG)))
