A 'teaching perspective' in Tewksbury

what a stupid poem.

You really do think highly of yourself.

The Tewksbury teachers should really shut up. Do your job and stop trying to portray yourselves as working for the kids, we have seen and heard many times how it's all about the money with you.
Look we all want more money but in this economy we're just lucky to have jobs and benefits. Keep yapping about it, your just proving what your really about.

Classy comments losers.

Thank you for your post...we are all working longer for less right now...we fully support our son both academically & at home...nice to know that the teachers are doing the same...takes a lot of guts to place your editorial...Please ignore the previous comments from those who have a lot to say but nothing worth print...they have an ax to grind but no where to place it....

Is that you Rick? Mike? Jayne? People really suck!!!!!

The people of Tewksbury are lucky to have each of you as an employee. I am proud and honored to be your colleague.

Comments 1,2,3 show no understanding of what teaching is all about and what the situation is really about in Tewksbury. I think you need to get your undergraduate degree in education,then a master's degree, and teach in the Tewksbury school system for a number of years to fully understand the real issues at hand. Only in Tewksbury does this ugly attitude rear its ugly head! Shame on you!! Thank you to the Heath Brook School teachers for being so eloquent.

I threw up a little in my mouth when I read this. I would describe it as cloying.

You describe yourself as working part-time? What propaganda, or should I ask what are you smoking? You self-absorbed teachers really get me laughing. Have it so bad, then go get a job in the real world. Then get back to me and let me know how bad you had it.

Again, I too wanted to puke when I read the poem.

- Living in the real job sector.

This letter really had me until the "part time status" quote reared its ugly head...

What about all the people who got through school and couldn't read up to grade level, nor understand what they are reading. Teaching kids to read is their job. Just take care of the kids and be quiet and see what the court's decision is. Every time a lettre like this is written people think less of teachers. The letter really tests your gag reflex.

Teachers in Tewksbury work because they love the kids and genuinely want to make a difference, regardless of the outside pressure we are currently experiencing. Do we expect to be rich, no, however, when we leave the classrooms filled with your children we go home to our own. We have a responsibility to provide for own children as well. Tewksbury has amazing students, they are down to earth and smart, every day is an adventure we enjoy taking with your children.
