Saturday class

The discussion on working conditions was interesting. I understand the wide variety of working conditions that teachers are exposed to. I have worked at the end of both spectrums. I have worked at an inner-city, large population high school in special education classrooms and now work at a nearly 100% white, with very little low income. Everyday, I appreciate the working conditions I work in, yet am proud that I have worked under tough working conditions. I work with highly motivated teachers, and with good kids, in which our toughest discipline issue is cell phones, not students that are violent to staff. The biggest complaint I have is not having the best technology. My job working conditions allow me to focus on creating better lessons, not on which student may jump another student or me. I do respect the teachers that have to deal with those issues, before they can focus on their lessons. I must be honest, I have not experienced the worst of conditions, and hope I never do.
