Why do teachers complain so much?

15 Mar 2010 at 10:42pm
Comparative to other professions, they do very little work and results would seem to indicate that many do it badly. Some fail to teach basic numeracy and literacy and then complain they don’t get paid enough and demand a pay rise.

Comparative to other professions, they do very little work and results would seem to indicate that many do it badly. Some fail to teach basic numeracy and literacy and then complain they don’t get paid enough and demand a pay rise.
They work the shortest hours of any profession. and get approximately 13 weeks unofficial holiday a year and then complain about being overworked.
There are some good teachers out there, but some of them need to get a job in the real world to find out what hard work truly is.
I agree Nina, there are some great teachers out there who do not feel the need to slur students or parents in order to cover up their own incompetence.
Unfortunately, many of you did not read my question correctly. I never said that all teachers complain or did their jobs badly. There are some wonderful teachers, they educate, inspire and positively contribute to the development of their students. They don’t complain and enjoy their work. However they are vastly outnumbered by bad teachers who do not have the emotional or intellectual capabilities to do the job, and therefore complain and blame everyone else for their lack of success.
Some of the answers here have been great, but some of the answers have betrayed frightening ignorance. I hope those people really weren’t teachers.
To the homeschoolers who have defended teachers so vehemently, please have a thought about the parents and students who have come to home schooling because of the appalling actions of some teachers.

One enterprising lady who recently decided to retire to Thailand is saving diligently to sponsor a beachside home in her dream location and expressed the desire to spend her final days in the ‘Land of Smiles’ and eventually when she dies to be wrapped in a sail and gently floated out to sea in a candlelit ceremony! Baby boomers, along with everyone else, receive a warm welcome in Thailand and the retired American community has expanded in recent years, prompting the Thai government to consider various affordable financial facilities for Americans wishing to buy their own property.
Thailand is proud of its incredible beaches; lush forests and impressive mountains. The lifestyle in Thailand is to die for, with its warm climate; low cost of living; wide use of English as the country’s second language and plenty of opportunities for laid back entertainment.
Baby boomers who have worked in Thailand know that is a popular holiday destination with the rest of Asia and many Americans who spent part of their career working in Asia choose Thailand for their retirement. The country is quite simply gorgeous, with beautiful gardens, a perfect living environment and an impressive cosmopolitan culture. Baby boomers with the right financial criteria can attain a retirement visa to allow them to settle permanently in Thailand.
recommend that medical facilities in Thailand are of a high standard and there are plenty of high quality clinics and hospitals to choose from all over the country. An international ISO certificate may be applied for to entitle attendance and most medical conditions are catered for.
Local color is impressive: the fabric markets are a must for lady baby boomers with a taste for opulence – Thai silk is not as cheap as it once was but every bit as beautiful and tactile. In Thailand it is possible to find fantastic 3D wall art and expertly carved furniture at a fraction of the cost in the US and many visitors to Thailand take advantage of opportunities to ship large quantities of local furniture back home.
Psychological articles note that for many, the transition from tourist to is a gradual one. Most take the time to explore the country in detail before making the all important decision on whether to retire there. It is quite useful that property rental is low, allowing prospective retirees to ‘try before they buy’.

Arriving in a new country can be scary. You may or you may not know the local language. You may feel stuck, unable to continue with your own personal development because you are blocked out from society. In these situations it is vital that you don’t give up and simply give in to the pressure of fitting in to society rather than continuing on your own path.
A personal coach can help you to stay on track. A coach can also help you to develop yourself further and to achieve your own personal goals. At a time when life is chaotic and you’re going through major life changes, a coach can be your life buoy to hold on to.
Many foreigners come to Japan because of their work or they are brought along because of their husband’s or wife’s work. Coaching can be especially beneficial to these “stranded” foreigners in Japan.
Coaching is about moving forward. A coach takes you from where you are today to where you dream to be in the future. People who hire coaches either have a specific issue that they are having troubles with in their life or a goal to get even better than they currently are in a specific area. What all those people who hire coaches have in common is a desire to grow.
Although the English-speaking coach community in Japan is not very big, there are still a few different kinds of coaches. Personally, I work as a self- esteem coach. I help English-speaking people in Japan to
• see all the positive qualities that they possess but cannot see • discover all the opportunities that their lives are full of but that they have become blind to • find solutions when they think solutions don’t exist • identify exactly what steps they need to take to reach they goals • feel more appreciated, loved and supported by those around them • feel happier, less stressed and more balanced
If you are interested in getting yourself an English-speaking coach while you’re in Japan, visit or email me at coach@livmiyagawa.com
Liv Miyagawa – The Self-esteem Coach
Liv Miyagawa, The Self-Esteem Coach, helps people all over the world to raise their self-esteem and to reach their personal goals. She opens people?s eyes to their own strengths and helps them to figure out what it really is that they want to get out of life. Liv helps people to find out exactly what steps they need to take to reach their goals, and she supports them and motivates them on their journey towards a more fulfilling future.
