Do they complain about not being paid enough, never take into account their benefits or that they don't work year round, and act like martyrs doing it for the children like they do here in the States? Drives me nuts, to be honest.
My fiance worked as a teacher for two years out of school. We both see it as a huge waste of money. I don't necessarily think we should remove public education, but I honestly think the public school system is more wasteful than the military.
My mom homeschooled us, so I don't get on bored with teacher hero worship. Or extracurriculars being the end all be all. But I am thankful for teachers and schools and the system where we live. I do wish they had a more realistic outlook on their jobs because I have zero sympathy for their complaints unless it has to do with curriculum or classroom management.
I have sympathy for them dealing with administrators. Some of them are tyrannical and pretty much just exist to deflect blame from the district to the teachers.

Yep, to a greater extent than here in the US. They regularly hold kids hostage by striking to demand more pay. City always caves to them.
Left that shithole as fast as I could...
Yes, yes, yes, and double yes.
