that would be awesome -- more focus on children and less on teacher's unions worried more about teacher's salaries, benefits, time-off, tenure, and still getting paid during a pandemic when others are going bankrupt
I am a teacher as well. Any group of a few million employees is going to have plenty shitty people. The problem is that the pay system in public schools encourages teachers to be shitty employees. You don’t get paid more for good work and you don’t get paid less for poor work. There is no incentive to do better. There is only incentive to do the least amount of work possible. Mediocrity is inevitable in any system like that.
Not all teachers are pieces of shit (hi, am a teacher). Teachers were massively stressed and were overworked to the core this last semester. They actually had to work, unlike the tik tok nurses) edit: let me clarify, the teachers that are worth a damn were worked to their core. I don't deny that there are worthless pieces of shit as teachers, I'm just saying, there are good ones still out there.
I went to public schools my whole life, but was very fortunate to live in a very nice neighborhood.
Our school district has actually been nationally recognized as being one of the best & it really was.
I had a great experience, mostly pretty awesome teachers.
However, this was quite a long time (decades) ago, well before schools became literal gulags. Sure, some of the instruction / history was left-leaning, but nothing like what it has devolved to today.
Not all public schools are bad, just like not all cops are bastards, and not ALL democrats are communists.
Teachers are worse than tictok nurses. At least nurses are just bored with nothing to do. My kid's teachers can't even bother to crawl out of bed and teach a zoom lesson. they just post notes for kids to copy and give them the actual test to study. Only 17% of them were "willing" to go back to in person teaching. Union teachers say they won't come back because of fear of covid, and our schools didn't reopen. They much prefer to "teach" via zoom and get full pay. So 83% of teachers in my school system are complete lazy worthless evil pieces of shit.
I dunno man some of those teachers that showed up in the news in the last few years for molesting students were passable if not cute. Not like head turners but girls you'd still at least consider smashing.
I'll admit Public Education is somewhat a sham, I'm not in a state where we have Teacher Unions. Benefits are minimal, time-off is generally the same as students, and I'm blessed to still be getting paid during this pandemic but I received a $6500.00 pay cut and still responsible for paying $2000 for licensure course cost this year. Not everyone in public education is a progressive commie, actually I don't believe politics should be allowed even on a bumper sticker in the parking lot where public education is concerned. But it is what it is I guess. We were in person learning until the week before Christmas break and so for no one is coming back until after the 11th so far.
i agree -- no politics in school unless its in a political science class and opinions are discussed -- not forced. Good luck when school starts back up. I'm all for tech, but in-school learning with other children is vital as far as I'm concerned
It's not just that politics are directly discussed in school. The textbooks and other materials are prepackaged to teach them versions of history that are dumbed down, simplified, and steer them towards communism.
I agree. I'm in a non union state and until my kids hit middle school it was a very good program. The teachers I know are very good. School board, superintendent not so much. Thanks for being a good teacher.
I have no problem with politics in schools IF parents can spend their voucher in any school they wish, public or private. Decisions need to be made knowing the cashflow is potentially I impacted.
My dad is on a school board and I have like 3 teachers in the family. Let's just say they don't get along the last 8ish years. My dad also does not get along with the people he works with and every conservative was slowly weeded out by new young progressive blood. I am guessing my dad will be done to soon he is fed up with the teacher union.
A shame to. He brought back the archery club and construction classes.

I’m surprised there are no teacher tik tok videos. Same inflated sense of self-worth as nurses
There would be if the teachers were actually in school. Most of them haven’t set foot in their workplace since March.

P.S.: Great username. DUCKS FLY TOGETHER
Not to mention, not the sharpest tool in the shed.
We had a short run here where they tried to go back. The dictator ended that.
Minnesota?

Of course there are exceptions, but you can look among your coworkers and understand what I mean. Thanks for being one of the good ones.
Oh believe me, I know. I am a new teacher... my kids will not be going to public school.
I gotta be honest;

Communists still aren't human though.
Our Kindergarten teacher (and school) are really good. Very liberal, but rural part of Texas.
There are exceptions to every rule.

This is what's known as the exception to the rule fallacy.
I live in California. I voted for Trump. Does that mean that most Californians also voted for Trump?
All jobs where the majority of the workforce are women are like this. Talk about a superiority complex
Sorry, you'll have to sub to their onlyfans to see that!
Those that can't, teach.
Too fat and lazy to dance.

Even then it should be about how politics works and not ideological discussions.

yep -- there's those who do and those who take
where is the Union for Children?
no shit -- wouldn't that be a great idea!
The pedophiles would have infiltrated their leadership decades ago and now it would be another enemy of the children we are fighting against.
We go to private school. Absolutely not all white- biggest mixture you could imagine.
The state tried to step in and insist we give them Covid stats- which got a big laugh. (Literally)
The school does give Covid stats, though- they just don’t run it thru the state for politicization. It comes in a weekly newsletter to the parents
good -- laugh!
