Today, at my job as a fourth grade teacher, I realized that most of my students have far nicer and more expensive phones than I can afford. FML

What the **** kind of ****** up country do you live in where the average elementary school teacher only makes $51,000 a year, but the average professional baseball player earns $3.2 million? Which is more important? Which is more influential? My daughter's teacher is one of the most important people in her life right now.

Kids are way too into technology nowadays. My two year old brother plays the DS that was given to me as a present some years ago because my mom said I didn't need it anymore.

As a teacher, you have no right to bitch about not making enough money. You knew what you were getting into when you wasted 4 of college.

I think your focusing on the wrong thing. A 4th grader still mostly thinks the teacher is larger than life. If it bothers you that much pull the ole "Yeah igit another year left on my contract." Chin up

To be fair they're being compensated for dedicating their life to the sport they chose to the exclusion of almost all else.
