Teachers are overpaid. They work less than anyone else, they have high pay for not doing anything. Its the easiest job. You work 5 days a week, you have Winter vacation and Summer vacation off, you have all holidays off and your job requires u to mostly sit and explain things. They are OVERPAID and entitled and most of teachers out their frustrations on students. Defund them if they don’t wanna work, they are too much paid for not working.

Yeah, I am going to have to push back on that. The outside perception doesn't equal the actual work done. I can't speak for every teacher, but even though my wife is on "summer break" she is in daily meetings planning for this upcoming year.
During school hours even though her contract has her off at 3:30, she works well past 5 and is REQUIRED to be in faculty meetings after school and constant school functions. Contract also states she gets a planning period, but isn't honored. Her class is well above capacity and is graded on the performance of each individual student who come with their own individual learning issues. Teachers are trained to teach and in my wife's situation she is really good at it.
Trust me when I say teaching is a difficult job and warrants much higher pay which would increase the caliber of teacher. Teaching, like police officers and nurses are under appreciated blue collar jobs that need more support not less.
I agree, however, that kids need to return to school and we need to stop politicizing this BS.
