Oh, and Kerry, that is the reason I chose not to teach... my brother as well. Teachers no longer are in control of their classrooms. The administration is too top heavy, and parents, well, let's just say parents... wink Kids see school as a social zone, and not a learning zone. They don't respect each other or their teachers. It's a very "it's my world" type attitude... definitely different than 30, 50+ years ago.
