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 don't personally believe in homeschooling. But, that's just me. No offense to you! I plan to pay for private school for my little ones.

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?
