 High school teacher confessions. Do teachers gossip about the kids in the staff room? The short answer is yes. The long answer is that the majority of teachers talk shit about these students and their behaviors and their nuisances and their parents being crappy parents and only on my minority of teachers a select few would actually talk about these kids constructively how they would help them overcome specific traumas or reasons why they're behaving poorly the fun bonus fact is and when kids realizes it sucks most teachers are career driven for the wrong reasons they get the job for safety government job pays well and holidays are pretty good and they're focusing on getting to the top what they call Principalship for me I was never about the principal shit for me I couldn't care less for me it's the kids in the classroom the end I'm gonna give a shit about your head of departments or anything like that I just want to teach schools on your temporary you'll be fine
