Kill Your Television

Despite the relatively appealing speech at the end of this week's show, the show Teachers occurs in a distorted reality far from what actually happens in a school. Let me dispel some of the myths presented by the show:

My job is not entirely about trying to hook up with co-workers. Similarly, I do not spend most of the day in the faculty lounge.

Believe it or not, we actually see students. We even go so far as to interact with them. Apparently the show couldn't hire enough extras to make it seem like any students actually attended the prom.

I'm sure there are more, but those are the most irritating to me. Teachers, thanks for encouraging the notion that teaching is a frivolous profession.
