Dare to care?

This is the question that I ponder over on a daily basis.  After all am I fighting the good fight or am I just fighting to fight.  I am beginning to think that professionalism is a waist of time.  As I sit here on the elective side of things I begin to wonder just what the heck are we here for.  If you teach a subject that is to difficult, align it with the standards, and maybe even throw in some technology you better give everyone "A' s and B's"  because the second they (students) find out that your class is difficult you will be asked to leave.  So I say screw it let everyone pass with an "A" ask them to spread the word and "BAM" job security.  Since I'm still on the elective side of the fence, how about when that stupid wanna be "real teacher" has something to say about best practices.  What does he know he doesn't even teach a real subject.  Wow that may be perceived as a cry out for some pity.  No you "real teachers" it is my sarcastic a$$ wondering why we bother with teachers who don't give a rip about anything.  It is hypocritical of our "leadership" to be cutting classes and telling teachers they are no longer wanted because they are not popular and at the same time allowing teachers who don't give a flying fart to stay on board and teach the minimum at best and do a crappy job at that.  I just hope that our "inner circle" aka.  planning committee does not approve of this or my respect level has just gone down a few notches.  Wait ... hold on ... forget what you just read ... ... ... if this info gets into the wrong hands I might be gone next after all I am just an elective.  Hence the title "Dare to care?"  Is it all worth it?  I am beginning to wonder ... search your feelings Luke let go of the force and join me on the darkside!!!
