Teachers are paid a shitty salary Most teachers end up being shitty
Truly a mystery. If only we had some decent teachers so someone could figure this out.

Every time someone cries about how teachers today are so underpaid and disrespected and nobody supports them, I just want to say that maybe it’s because all of those kids who grew up constantly abused by the school system grew up into parents, taxpayers, and lawmakers who have a distrust in the whole mess.

Lawmakers know perfectly how uneducated massess are batter than educated ones. and the best way to make ppl hate educating themself, is to create school system as we see it.

I’m for sure in this boat. I can’t think of a single teacher from highschool that has a positive impact on my life. All of them seemed to not give a shit and a few seemed to genuinely hate their job and students. At least that’s what I remember.

I’ve had awesome teachers. I’ve had just as many really shitty teachers though. And lots of simply mediocre. I totally support higher wages for teachers, but honestly less in sympathy for today’s teachers and more to make it a viable career choice and attract some actual professionals. So many teachers seem to only want the job for the authority (over kids? I don’t get it), and only get it because the school district is desperate.
I don’t know if raising wages would fix the problem, I just know that it would increase the pool of applicants, allowing the school district to be more selective.

So higher wages, better working conditions, and in exchange maybe be held to a higher standard of professionalism?
That would never work!!!111111
