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.

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.

P.S.: Great username. DUCKS FLY TOGETHER

Same. I’m a HS teacher. I share so little in common with these lazy, ideologically-possessed whiners.

It also currently HEAVILY selects for young women, where as in the past it was much more diverse.

Comes down to character. I never did shitty work just because the pay was low. You are educating children afterall... not just stocking store shelves or putting gas in tanks.

Thanks for what you do. I know that, like cops, many / most are good people, but; a) The ones at the top are pretty much always total scum b) Our systems are very, very broken and abused by communists.

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.

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.

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.

I homeschool (one graduate, one to go) my kids. I ran into a LOT of professional teachers that chose to homeschool their oen kids.

I gotta be honest;

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
