Bruce: I think you're right. Many people <em>think</em> they can get up there and teach 5 sections per day, but it takes a talented and motivated person to do that well, all-the-while keeping order, doing one's preps and dealing with parents after hours.

It gave me new-found respect for the work that excellent teachers do. ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://dangerousintersection.org/2011/07/26/even-handed-collective-bargaining/comment-page-1/#comment-88582">Bruce</a>.</p> <p>Bruce: I think you’re right.
