I’ve got a friend who is a retired teacher, and my wife was an assistant working with special needs kids for years. With what the education system has become...you couldn’t pay me enough to put up with that BS. I’m surprised my buddy made it to retirement without putting someone- student or administrator in a headlock and choking them out.
I am mildly sympathetic to the teachers’ plight. The kids are only as good as the parents in many cases. As an old talk show host in Philadelphia, the late Irv Homer used to say, you can’t raise a thoroughbred when the parents are asses.
