I really hate discussing education and employment practices though it’s been on my mind a lot. Various factors, including small paychecks and increasing expenses, are guaranteed to put those things at the forefront of my thoughts, even though there are more important things that need my attention (like my lessons and my students’ homework assignments). While I have been polite about the subject, it is no secret how I feel about the issue of adjunct teaching. I often find articles and blog entries that confirm my feelings, such as a recent piece in The Nation.
