As a teacher, the Teachers’ Union is a total con. My coworkers who are union flacks are the biggest sh*theels I’ve ever met.
I put the students and their needs (and their parents) before my own. But I’m one of those rare ones.
We had a sick-out recently where the brats all called out last minute. We had to house five or six classes in the cafeteria all day. No learning time, kids just wasted time and went on their phones...
It’s a travesty.
Being a teacher can be a thankless job.
Many years ago a friend of mine told me of an incident in class where he was jumped and beaten up by some students.
You are probably familiar with the “Broken Window” theory where when a window is broken...it portends bad future things.
There have been signals for years.
But somehow, teachers have evolved into people don’t care about what product they produce. No feeling of accomplishment when you shape a young person’s life. That’s kind of hokey in today’s education system.
