Not PP, but I worked at Costco the whole pandemic. Full time plus overtime hours. I helped my kids with their school when I got home. I did the best I could, but they’re struggling. Yes, I feel like a failure at times. I used to respect teachers but can’t anymore. |
You don't get it. We paid for something we didn't receive. Give back my tax dollars. |
Defund public schools. Good luck finding a job with that elementary education degree. |
I am a parent. My children's test scores on the SOL last spring and on the MAP this fall were great. That is beside the point, though. Education is no where near as important as health care. Reading and math scores don't matter if we aren't healthy. There is a hierarchy. Health comes before education. |
Let’s fast forward to a time when we have no educated workforce, meaning no good doctors or nurses to provide said healthcare. You’re an idiot! |
Teachers work full-time and overtime, too. Except you got paid for your overtime? Maybe you should have stayed home and helped your kids. Can’t have it all. |
Why don’t you go fuss at the libraries? Your taxes paid them, too, right? Maybe if you made your kid read a book or two you’d be ok. |
I think THIS person’s kid could be a doctor, though. My kids fared well, too. So… |
Teachers are salaried employees, right? Quit whining. I’m also salaried and wind up taking work home almost every night. That’s what gets me — teachers think they’re the only ones that have these problems. Complaining while most of us have the same issues. |
Has there ever been a dumber argument on this board? Modern health care exists because of intense education at all levels. |
Look at statewide test scores. Oh, and factor in that they lowered the score for passing. |
Can you read? I’m responding to this a—joke that works overtime (and is compensated for it), and has lost all respect for teachers. |
And I’m pointing out that they’re probably paid hourly, unlike you. |
I suggest you get some blood pressure meds. What if there’s a snow closing this February? |
And I’m rather grateful to those who worked in places like Costco during the pandemic. Thank you PP for making it into work so we could all have food. Truly. |
