” I plan on becoming a teacher and goodness knows that they don’t get paid crap.”
Nothing personal, but the above line is simply false. Considering the salaries of teachers, and the abysmal competence of the graduates of programs under the “expert educators”, a case can be made that teachers are overpaid.
Indeed, they and their UNIONS could be considered to be engaging in i proper enrichment.
Addendum to post 43:
“engaging in i proper enrichment” should be
“engaging in improper enrichment”.
I should have been more specific. I’m planning on majoring in early childhood education, meaning that I’ll probably end up working at almost minimum wage depending on which preschool or daycare I get hired at. As for teachers being overpaid, even though I agree with what you say about the unions, it makes me angry that many GOOD teachers in small school districts get paid a fraction of what some horrible teachers in large school districts get paid. Yet at the same time we have politicians, actors, musicians, etc. who are paid millions to shove their liberal agenda down our throats and “entertain” us. If you ask me, that’s pretty sad.

As an “old” person in the field of public education -for 30 + years, I beg to differ. Having an MS degree and years of experience, I am paid not much more than 50,000 per year. Granted, I have good medical insurance benefits, and I have a retirement plan -that will soon change under Obumbo. However, I work MORE than 40 hours per week during the school calendar. I know, you are thinking of the holidays and summer vacation. Well, you are misinformed/you have a misperception. (I AM NOT a member of the NEA.)
YOU cannot fathom what public school teachers deal with on a daily basis. PLEASE, come spend a week with me...
I try to teach 7th grade math. Many days class is a “joke” to the students I am trying to teach - NEVER to me.
At this point in my diatribe, I could ramble on and on... Won’t do any good anyway...
