school these days

So I was thinking.... I didn't get into teachers college... but is that a huge deal? Only to me, cause apparently there aren't many positions that are available. I'm not too concerned. I used to hate my job, but I've learned to love it, and see some real opportunity here, so we'll see what happens. Besides, kids these days are bastards - AND I read yesterday they are taking the zero tolerence out of the schools... again, taking more power away from the teachers, and handing it to the kids. Apparently it infinges on the students human rights. What is with that? I wasn't scared of my teachers, but I did respect them.
