>>Well, seeing as my family are teachers. ;)
Multiple generations of failure are observably symptomatic in the condition that constitutes America’s decline.
Were they “given” a “teaching” job - or did they earn the responsibility of being a teacher?
My grandmother did it for 40 years. My grandmother was an english teacher, and my mother a college professor. My aunt is also an english teacher, as are several of my cousins.
My mother and aunt and grandmother all taught in public schools, and my mother when she got her job teaching as a college professor had less education than I do now.
I have been helping her get her PhD, because much of that which she is studying (philosophy, etc), is stuff she’d never done before or had to learn, while I covered it in my BA.
