because I want to hear the machine.

I can usually hear the machine just fine with ear protection on. It's
muffled, not completely blocked out. Some hearing protection is available
with different levels of dampening.

Well put.

My sister-in-law retired last year after teaching 30 years and said the
above, almost word for word.

We have had a number of conversations in the past couple of years and I
asked for her opinion, in as few words as possible, about what was wrong
with our public education system. Her one word reply:

Parents.

And I agree with that. I usually had ear muffs, so when I was right beside
a running machine, they would be on, but then when I was trying to
communicate with a student, they would be slid off, at least one ear. A
mistake on a running machine can still be heard, clearly, if you know what
you are trying to hear.

What do you mean "BUT"?? That is the problem, the parents. Every child
has parents, that is how they were created, absentee or not. It is not
the responsibility of the teachers to do what the parents, absentee or
not are, are suppose to do. Throw the absentee parents in jail.
