That when we say there's a degree for librarianship it means that we have a higher degree to scan a book. There's no disambiguation between a library assistant and a librarian for most people. I have not thought of a good response to this yet other than,"I am an educator, of course I have a degree." The jerk-face is more conveyed by facial expression.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277997766383773483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283502263104616088.post-11009219791226041232012-09-21T08:21:39.642-04:002012-09-21T08:21:39.642-04:00I think part of the problem is definitely that peo...I think part of the problem is definitely that people just don't understand what I do. I need to work out how to explain it in a way that a lay person will understand.

There's a misconception that all that's done is "play with kids all day." They don't understand that there's a pedilogical reason for every single thing that's done. You are awesome.

My husband is a guard/check out person at our libraries part time and anyone can get that job. So maybe he was thinking of that while you actually do more then that?

It's must be a fun job!" or "You probably never get tired working with kids"<br />Are You F** Kidding me??? Teaching is not an easy task, I don't do it just because I like kids and I want to play all day with them :)<br />I hate people that makes us feel inferior :)<br />I love that you are a librarian -I always wanted to be one :)<br /><br />Ruty<br /><br /><a href="http://booksaremywayofliving.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Reading...Dreaming</a><br />RuthBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865949319914258572noreply@blogger.com
