adventures of a new mom juggling work and family

remember when we were in school and if the teacher told you she was going to call your house... you would start to panic.... students just don't care -call my mom..so what?!?!
teachers are not appreciated for all the time that they put in, they are definitely not respected- not by students, not by parents, sometimes not even by administration....
who in their right mind would want to go into this profession???
students can bump, smack, hit and what can the teacher do? NOTHING!!! students can do whatever and teachers have the right do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!
