Ha ok, so Im probably the lnly teacher at the moment whos gonna go against this I guess. I have seen from both views. So let me get started, so Ill see the side of how people want it. Will, you aren’t under appreciated but I will not lie, teacher is much easier to get into than arch/staff/cop. Lauren teachers on here are much different in real life. I have thought for an hour a day and yes its tedious, takes me about 3 hours to edit all the lesson plans. Anyways the teaching on here is very different, you don’t exactly need to act adult-ish, because you know your talking to everyone who are in your age group. Its not a serious school, not even students take it seriously. Next it takes you about 5-10mins to think of some lesson plan when the Principal asks if were ready, we don’t end up waiting for 2 hours. Because we teach unexpectedly, we don’t run on a daily basis. I didn’t mean that to sound harsh in any way.
Ok now on the people who say they don’t want it implemented. I have to agree with them as, I will not lie, I tried sucking up to the Principals / Vice Principals before but I never supported the idea of having tags or it becoming a rank. For quite a while I helped in the applications, for me when people are accepted into teacher, the criterias isn’t that strict, even if you aren’t really active or if you have been a constant jerk in the past. The records don’t always follow through. I get that your all gonna say people change etc... yes I understand that but, the applications of getting in teacher is easier. In my time as teacher when Graphic_Elf as Principal, she said that maybe a requirement for staff is they become teacher first to get a grasp to an extent. I think by this it can already be seen that a teacher’s work in mccities atleast is very far to how staff have to work as well as other roles. I know sometimes they even have rules of playing atleast 1hour a day or 30minutes at the least. Anyways to get to the point, I as a teacher know what its like to do lots of stuff without even getting appreciated for it but I don’t really mind. Its fun, its boring the circumstances differ but I like doing what I do. I checked applications before and also when the school wasn’t running, I teach 2 subjects which is twice as long (sometimes). Anyways those are all voluntary efforts such as joining the teacher job itself, when you apply you don’t apply for the recognition but you apply because you have the passion to teach. I don’t care how cool or experienced or how rich you are on here. I don’t care if your staff, arch, or police and or the top player on the server. What I want to see is dedication and passion in the thing you do. One example I would like to give is DarkEmeraldXd, now known as FancyFishFeet, in my time being a teacher I watched some of her classes. Sure there was the trouble makers and the quiet students but it all made the perfect mix which got me into a really fun environment. I know she isn’t requesting for a rank not does she care if its implemented or not but, I can see the passion in how you write and how you act. The first arguement I had about this during this month was we were under appreciated, we lacked recognition etc... For me that was a really bland excuse to why we needed a rank.
Does having a rank make me feel special?
In all honesty yes, I feel different when I got that Blue Police Tag beside me but I also enjoy messing with players and jailing them especially when I surprise catch them.
The first question I want all of you to answer if your wanting to give teachers a rank is how would this improve (anything in general). And give a valid reason not some ego centered answer like I will feel more motivated or inspired. Because really teachers are already given a few perms to play with which is sorta fun. And finally teachers are meant to serve hence you teach students, you don’t ask for a reward for doing voluntary job/work. That sums up the definition of being fake.
Most of all I am dissapointed at all my co workers who sided to make it a rank for the reason of feeling under appreciated. As teachers you should have known better and what your job stands and signifies for. Your a teacher you teach, you don’t ask for a rank for not feeling recognized enough because you are the star in your students eyes and thats enough recognition to make you know that your important to people.
