It’s been a stereotype for at least the last 50 years. Why has this never changed? Why has organized labor not had a substantial effect for such an essential part of the workforce?
because education teaches kids how to think and to know right from wrong.
Which is why the cabal of fascist pedophiles have spent the past 50+ years trying to demonize it.
Simple. Education isn’t the goal. The US doesn’t need well informed and educated people. They need drones that’ll follow orders from the oligarchs.
They need workers ok with $7.25 an hour. Work 6 days a week then church on Sunday.
You’re right, it’s a stereotype. Teachers get paid plenty these days. My daughter’s 4th grade teacher just bought herself her own house.
I want to add that teachers unions often look for other things than pay because the members are actually concerned with the quality of education. So classroom size and classroom equipment or budget.
