Teacher's Handbook of Dirty Tricks

     Each year idealistic young teachers enter the profession, fresh from teacher training programs from our finest universities.  They come eager to serve, wanting to make a difference, willing to sacrifice long hours and, in most cases, adequate compensation to impart knowledge to eager young minds.

     Unfortunately, what they encounter during their first year on the job is apathetic students, surly parents, and spineless administrators.  Moreover, the training they had in college is often inadequate to prepare them for the daily grind of extra duties, paperwork on top of paperwork, school politics, and students on strike.
