:lol: Actually I'm very familiar with it.

This why I didn't want to get into it because I didn't want to offend some people with the groupthink but go ask some honest teachers like your close friends, siblings, girlfriends and wives who have taught and ask if a certain part of teaching is babysitting.

Classroom management is the number 1 thing just making sure they are on task and not screwing around and part of that is like babysitting.

In vaccum, teaching is probably more important but we don't live in a vaccum.

The 6th grade math teacher should have more importance or impact on a students life than time when a Dallas Cowboy came spoke and interacted with the students at the school but from what I've seen it really doesn't.
 
Report: Vernon Davis And Joe Staley Fought Over Colin Kaepernick

Like all bad teams eventually do, the San Francisco 49ers have reached the “players-only meeting” stage of their season, and they’re already off to a strong start.

According to CSN Bay Area, the 49ers held a players-only meeting after their Oct. 4 loss to the Green Bay Packers, and at one point it devolved into a confrontation between tight end Vernon Davis and left tackle Joe Staley:
Tight end Vernon Davis called out Kaepernick and left tackle Joe Staley jumped to Kaepernick’s defense, according to multiple sources and first reported by BayAreaSportsGuy.com. The exchange became heated and may have even gotten physical, sources told CSNBayArea.com.

Kaepernick has been terrible this year, but the 49ers’ problems are so myriad that it’s impossible to lay all of the blame on him. Then again, it’s easy to see why Davis would be feeling frustrated—it’s hard to make a living as a pass-catching tight end when your quarterback apparently can’t be trusted to throw

Kaep needs to get the hell out of there, I feel bad for the idiot at this point

can't wait til Chip trades a 1st rounder for him in March
 
SANTA CLARA -- Get out your No. 2 pencils, it's time for a multiple choice exam: Which NFL quarterback has a sub-83 passer rating, has a terrible touchdown-to-interception ratio and ranks among the bottom-10-rated passers in the league?

A. Colin Kaepernick

B. Andrew Luck

C. Peyton Manning

D. Cam Newton

Sorry, it was a trick question. The answer actually is E: All of the above. But if asked, 'Which of these quarterbacks' teams is in the division cellar?', the answer would have been clear -- A: Colin Kaepernick.

Not only do the others have better records, their teams lead their respective divisions. In fact, Manning's Broncos and Newton's Panthers are undefeated.

Which is to say: A lot more than bad quarterback play has sunk the 49ers this season.

And make no mistake, the quarterbacking has not been good. Kaepernick likely has no future in San Francisco beyond this year and there's a good chance he'll be benched before the season is over.

But how does someone go from winning four of six playoff games -- three of them on the road -- to having to be defended in a players-only meeting? Kaepernick clearly cannot carry a bad team out of the basement. But what quarterback could under these circumstances?

Kaepernick is on a team with a rickety offensive line, a push-over defense, little depth at running back and now a whisper campaign is undermining him. Like Alex Smith before him, the 49ers have failed Kaepernick more than he's failed them.

When he was negotiating his contract last year, Kaepernick made it clear he was willing to accept less than top-of-market value if the team would use the savings to ink extensions with some of the 49ers' other soon-to-be free agents like guard Mike Iupati and receiver Michael Crabtree.

An Associated Press story at the time had this passage: According to one source, Kaepernick specifically asked, "So this structure gives us room to try extensions with my teammates, right?" He was told yes.

Maybe that was naive. The quarterback's six-year deal didn't necessarily free up salary-cap space. But the 49ers told him they needed cash in hand for the bonuses attached to new deals, which Kaepernick's contract, conspicuously light in fully guaranteed money, created. The 49ers readily agreed when Kaepernick and his representatives made those stipulations and nodded along when Kaepernick spoke about it afterward in a press conference.

"Part of the way the contract is written and the way it was negotiated was so they would be able to sign other players," he said. "That was something that my agents and the organization worked out and they felt like this was something they would be able to get other players with.”

The 49ers didn't come close to re-signing Iupati or Crabtree. Nor did they retain free agents like Frank Gore, Chris Culliver, Perrish Cox, Josh Johnson or Dan Skuta.

Instead they brought in Torrey Smith, Reggie Bush, Darnell Dockett, Shareece Wright, Erik Pears, Jerome Simpson, Jarryd Hayne, Nick Bellore and Philip Wheeler.

The 49ers are now nearly $12 million under the salary cap, according to the NFL Players Association. Only five teams have more space. Next year they are estimated to have $41 million in salary cap space, according to OvertheCap.com.

Meanwhile in Carolina, Newton is completing 55.8 percent of his passes, has 1,275 passing yards, nine touchdowns, seven interceptions and a 78.4 passer rating. He's being talked about -- by ESPN, by NFL.com, by The Washington Post -- as a legitimate MVP candidate.

Kaepernick has completed 61.4 percent of his passes, has 1,453 yards, six touchdowns, five interceptions and an 82.8 passer rating.

He's being talked about as a legitimate candidate to be benched.

That article kind of conveniently brushes over the reason the Colts are leading their division

Regarding that story it seems to me Vernon is more likely to be the odd man out in the locker room than Kaep is.

Of course you are. I haven't seen a topic yet that you aren't very familiar with. And I'm sure you were just right there about to get your degree and license but then decided not too

Trust me, with my family situation, I know more about schools and multiple jobs at them then I care to.




A better argument you could've gone with is the athletes use of their money and foundations have an impact across many lives when compared to certain professions

I gotta show my wife that post when I get home and see how she reacts :lol: I've seen fair amount of people with the "glorified babysitter" & "they shouldn't complain because they have the summer off" opinions be verbally eviscerated in my day.

I like that when Reggie Bush was asked about Kaep's leadership he said he's the hardest worker in the weight room lol.
