Comment on Paid Leave Olympics
aidan@lemmy.world 3 months agoThis is so ridiculously vague that I have no reason to believe it.
You can believe what you want. You have no way to audit it anyways, you’re just looking for a reason to dismiss it. So there’s really no point in me bothering to explain the situation.
Also, I’m not sure why this isn’t clear to you either, but teachers in the U.S. have massive amounts of student loan debts.
Yes some teachers do and some don’t.

And now you’re being incredibly disingenuous. Almost all American teachers have student loan debt for the same reason that almost all American college students have student loan debt.
And I’m not “looking for a reason to dismiss it,” you’ve given me a reason to dismiss it since I can’t investigate why this disorder was not treatable in the country they left.

And I won’t answer, solely because I don’t like your bizarre belief that other people’s own experiences (in a country you probably know nothing about so would just makeup a reason to discard it) are subject to your interrogation. This was the experience of my relative, you can believe me or not, but please tell me how me telling you the country and condition(which I don’t know the name of anyways) would enable you to evaluate what I said is true.
This doesn’t cover the average amount. Also, 60% is not some overwhelming majority.
What? You know immigrants exist right?
My mom and her mom are both public school teachers. I went to school in the US.
