Being a teacher is hard

I don't think many non-teachers really understand this. Right now I am dealing with a bunch of well meaning volunteers for an organized children's program and they are oblivious to the problems with the organization of the group. I have other parents complaining to me and the leaders don't think there is a problem. I am very frustrated and mad. I know I have higher expectations because I am a teacher but these leaders don't have a clue. It is tough to lead a group of kids in meaningful activities. Part of the problem as I see it, is that these people are "free-er" with their own children so may be more used to the chaos, I however, need more structure, listening, and respect.
