Yeah, because that means they actually care about things that matter you fake-detached empty-inside waste of oxygen.

Teaching is being ridiculously underpaid and used as a punching bag.
Parents don’t want to parent - you call them and say little Timmy beat the shit out of a classmate today - it’s your fault. Neveah is failing because she’s refused to even lift up a pencil the entire year - it’s your fault. Don’t forget, you need to spend an extra several hours after your “contract time” to do all of the meaningless bullshit that admin gives you - lesson plans that have to follow a format and will never get read, referrals where you have to have months of documentation of a student cussing you out and breaking things during class, so that you usually are working 60 hours a week at minimum.
My first year teaching was $2200/month, in 2019. I would get to work at 6 am - often had “duty” where I had to search students bags like a fucking mall cop. I usually had to stay until 6 pm cleaning. I repaired my own cabinets, bought my own lab supplies (how much do you think enough vinegar and baking soda to run 6 class periods of labs cost? Going to spend $50/week so that chemistry class isn’t just lectures and notes?)
So yeah, it’s shitty to shit on teachers. Teachers get treated like dogshit in American society, and there’s no need to contribute to that because you’re mad Ms. Brooks got onto you for passing notes in class twenty years ago.
