Waprovencal: Using the words "entitled" and "over-compensated" is not name calling, but rather a characterization of their status. Taking home test papers, book reports, term papers to correct is...ready?...part of the job for which they signed up. Ditto, helping a struggling student after school, as we've been told time and again that it's "...all for the children". The purchase of school supplies is a choice. Coaches are compensated extra for their coaching duties. Most responsible adults get to work early to properly prepare for the day, at least those who are successful.
