The Bird Show. Hi, Melissa Carter, what is the teacher vent line? Basically, it's a place for teachers to vent because we know that teachers, you know, every day they deal with the students, they deal with the teachers, they deal with the teachers, they deal with the administration, they deal with other teachers, and so they can't get in front of the classroom and show any kind of anger or frustration. They have to be kind and nurturing. So we want to give them a place to be able to vent. So it's our voicemail. And you can call this number and you can, if you're a teacher, and you can just get it out of your system. It is. It is. Exactly. This is a public service we do for, for children, because we don't want the teachers to get in front of you and do and say the things that they say on this vent line.

404-255-35 is the vet line number if you're a teacher and you just want to talk.

If you haven't seen math in 20 years, how do you expect to tell me how to teach math

when you don't even know how to do anything without a calculator?

So please, parents, lay off.

And this is the same reoccurring theme here. Yes. Is that teachers aren't calling up necessarily about the students. They're just really angry at the parents. Right. Are you kidding me? All the students are just idiots now. The parents are making them that way. They just entitled them to everything. They don't do anything now. They just sit around and play the games at home. They sit inside. They don't learn anything. They don't care about learning anything. The parents are just accountable as they are. And don't get me on funny per don't who keeps dropping our jobs every damn year. We get paid less and less every year. Let's take your supplements out even more. That makes you want to teach. It really does.

And now we're just losing jobs of you.

I am so sick of these kids coming to school without paper and pencil.

How are you going to expect to do anything if you don't have your supplies?

And no, I don't have any for you.

Hi, I'm a special life teacher in a very poor district, and I want to know how we are supposed to teach our children without textbooks.

Many counties around us have plenty of material.

We're expected to meet these expectations, and we have nothing.

My children write with crayons.

Tell me how we're supposed to meet these expectations that lunchbladers are passing down. I'm a daycare teacher and a parent's up. The kids tell you what to do when to do it. They bring their kids in at any time of the day before,

nap, after nap, when they meet the... End of message.

Oh!

...and everyone's reaction to me becoming a teacher, I either hear, oh, I'm sorry, or someone says,

oh, well, at least you picked an easy job.

We are not just working from 8 until 3.30 every day.

We work around the clock all week, weekends nights, and I'm just so sick of everyone being

so discouraging when I'm entering the field.
