You could very well be correct that in a few years the extra time can be whittled down to more manageable levels.. Or maybe a teacher simply burns out and stops being dedicated? ( I only taught in public schools for one year so I'm not in a position to comment) As for the income? Given the risks to her health dealing with those students most at risk of Violence are you certain she's being overpaid? (she is after all replacing a teacher who was killed by a violent student)
Don't feed the troll, don't feed the troll....Here I go.
I acknowledge that there are schools that are more expensive. But, if, as you say, she had most of her tuition and books paid for, there is no way that she should have a loan that takes 15 years repay--she was being fiscally irresponsible, plain and simple. She could have found cheaper housing (yes, she could have. You can find a room to rent in a house anywhere for cheap).
Yes, I am correct that the time can be whittled down and still have an extremely dedicated teacher. I had a few. You are also correct that teachers can burn out and stop being dedicated. Had a few of those as well.
I never once said that she was overpaid. And if she can't handle the students, then she is not fit for the job. Harsh, yes, but it is the truth.
