I assume you’re a teacher and have never held a real job. You know, a job where you work 52 weeks a year with NO time off other than a one or two week vacation and five or six holidays a year. Take it from a guy who sweated or froze off the back off a truck under those conditions for 35 years to get to retirement. Every teacher I’ve ever known is retired or double dipping after 25 years. And just look at the bang up job teachers are doing in completely destroying our children’s minds over your working career. The results, look at the test scores, you teachers produce would get you all fired on real jobs.

You’re an arrogant ass. You denigrate the people who teach our kids to read and therefore open up the universe for them. The people who teach our kids how to calculate, so they can function as citizens in our society. Teachers who had to drive through terrible weather conditions to get to school because school was not called off that day. Teachers who were physically assaulted and/or threatened with physical harm every day. Who had to report abusive parents and save their children from physical assault and worse. And who had to protect and comfort the kids through terrorist threats. This doesn’t cover having to motivate the students from the time they walk (often late) into your classroom to the end of the period or keep classroom discipline (even when the libtard administration forbids disciplining students, particularly those of “color”).

I don’t know what kind of teachers you know or what they taught or what kind of schools they taught in. Was it urban NYC? Or Podunk, Smalltown?

I refused to lower my standards and give away undeserved passing grades, or engage in disseminating libtard propaganda. For this, I and other conservative teachers were harassed, received letters in our files, and were threatened with being brought up on charges. It was the kind of thing Trump is going through now, frivolous made up nonsense, so I can fully sympathize with him. Teachers were removed from their positions and stuck into the “rubber rooms”, just like the J-6 prisoners. NYC jettisoned hundreds of years of classroom experience because the teachers would not change grades or teach the watered down crap they were asked to substitute for real information.

BTW, I had quite the adequate passing rate for my students, because they knew I would not give away grades.

So quit your boo hoo hooing with me about sweating or freezing. There are different types of jobs asking people to put up with different kinds of difficulties. My teaching years were no picnic. But I loved it.
