I hate the SAHM one. HATE. I swear, every time I tell someone I'm a SAHM, I get a "I know you work so hard...." I know people are trying to be sensitive and I appreciate that, but it just makes me feel icky and embarrassed. Probably because I like my life, have one kid and don't really work that hard, lol.
I feel the same way. I have an easy kid and a really helpful husband. I am lucky to get to do this. I'm not saying it doesn't have hard, sucky days, but every one had hard, sucky days.
Exactly. EXACTLY.
And I'm not saying it's not hard for a lot of moms but I'm on the same page as you.
Really? Those poor big bankers who got bailed out by the taxpayers and proceeded to take trips to resorts and pay themselves as CEO millions...they are such martyrs.
Sure, but they could also make a list of different facets of the job listed as professions. That is what is cueing the eye roll. And many of them don't even make sense. "Banker" for collecting money in payment? Does that mean every cashier's primary role is as a banker?
Yes, perhaps the meme is a bit melodramatic, but I really do not understand all of the K-12 teacher hate in this thread. Teachers do a lot for my son, and despite the fact that I have a Ph.D., I recognize that his school teachers (who do not have doctorates) have skills and knowledge about early childhood education that I do not have. It does not diminish my role as a parent to acknowledge this.

I love teachers. I think it is a very important profession. This thread was about the meme and the meme is stupid.
I am not sure that most people in most professions are working as hard as teachers. When teachers are "on the clock," my understanding is that they cannot be surfing the web and posting on Facebook like many people I observe day-to-day do when they are on the clock. Professions differ in terms of their impact on society and I would put educators, doctors, law enforcement, and others like them as the most important for our society. These people are deserving of our kudos and not derision.
Interesting, we have quite a few teachers who are regulars here.
I assume that they are not posting while class is in session. Perhaps during recess, study hall, or lunch? I have no clue though.
jimminy christmas. teacher hate? what teacher hate? there is a lot of MARTYR hate and MELODRAMA hate. the OP happens to be a melodramatic martyr TEACHER.

but nice postgraduate degree dropping!
Damn straight I am proud of my Ph.D. I was the first in my family to attend college. What is your issue with my Ph.D.?
translation: even though i am way smarter and better educated than my son's teachers, i still appreciate them, which makes me more compassionate than you bitches, who should stop arguing with me because my educational achievements guarantee that i will win this SMACKDOWN against you lesser fools.

LOL @ teacher hate
I'm delighted you could overcome the obstacle of having a PhD to recognize work done by the NON-DOCTORATE HOLDING teachers
you just reminded me to make a melodramatic meme concerning my professor hate

Sigh, why do you assume that I am in academia. I am a physicist with NASA.
I disagree. There was a poster who basically stated that support staff do all of the work and teachers take credit for this.
Sometimes those tasks are accomplished by other professionals at a school (and since when are the school nurse or counselor "support staff"? They deserve as much respect as the teacher down the hall.) That doesn't make the teachers at those schools any less competent or hard working. It means the school has adequate funding and the teachers can focus on their primary task. Since when is that something to denigrate? Are only teachers at underfunded schools worthy of your respect?

First the PhD drop, now the physicist with NASA drop, NEITHER of which have a damn thing to do with this post.
I am simply responding to the comments in this thread. Lots of hate for Ph.D.s as well as K-12 teachers and apparently professors as well. So, what professions are y'all in? Let's get this martyr list going already!!
I am a teacher, and I don't feel hated on in this thread. At all. It was an annoying meme, regardless of the profession. People who post memes like that give other teachers a bad name. It is really annoying. Yes, I work hard. But so do a lot of other people in a lot of other professions. Do I wish I made more money? Sure. Do I think some professions in our culture get way overpaid (like actors, singers, etc)? Yes, but I understand they bring in money and that's just the way of it, so I try not to complain about it.
You are not even a teacher, Spanishtechno. I was going to say teachers like you give other teachers a bad name for ALL being complainers who complain and act like martyrs. But it appears as if you are not a teacher. So, instead I'll say, please just stop with the overzealous defending (against nothing!) that is going on here. I do appreciate that you defend us and think we work hard, because we do, but you are being ridiculous in this thread.

What we're all laughing about is that you are the ONLY one talking about your education and job. It is not relevant to this thread.
I really do not care what you are all "laughing about." It is very relevant when most of you are saying that you work just as hard as the teachers...well what is it that you do for a living? I am genuinely curious. I mention my own career and educational background to show that despite having a good career and high level of education, I do not think that I could do the job of a K-12 teacher, and I absolutely respect the work that they do and support them 100%.
you know, spanish, I'm actually really glad you're here.
I have this physics problem I've been struggling with. Just basic physics 101 shit. I'm sure you could solve this no problem.
A cylinder with a piston is filled with ideal gas. The gas temperature is held at 500K. The cylinder is heated by an oven through a square metal rod with sides 2.5cm and length 2m (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm x 2 m) which is connected between the oven and the cylinder.
If the oven is held at 1300K, and the heat current conducted through the metal rod is 20W, find the thermal conductivity of the metal in the rod.
