I’m a teacher. It’s not “intellectually difficult”? That’s so insulting.

In Finland, the cream of the crop become teachers. Their salaries are high and education schools are very selective. Not the case in the US. Sure many smart ppl go to education school but most of them are mediocre.

Who wants to teach children of loser parents like this ^^^?

Go shit on some other profession, loser.

And because you know what a-holes some of the parents are. The people I know that have b—tched and moaned the most about their kids being behind this year can’t bring themselves to take their iPad games away and never had them do the required reading at home. No wonder their kids are behind! Teachers aren’t miracle workers. I will say- these are kids third grade and up. This was a horrible time for second grade down- but CoVID ain’t the teachers’ fault, either.

Some of us had full-time jobs to go to. You know, like me — working in a hospital the entire pandemic. Yes, my kid fell behind. How in the world is that my fault?

But hey, thanks for showing up to your jobs.

You don’t work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can help your kids on your off time, as so many of us who work full-time plus did. Stop with the excuses.

Some of us were required to stay and work much later than usual, as our coworkers became sick (or quit). I worked 60+ hour weeks in the OR. Not quite the same as teaching 3-4 hours a day, 4 days a week from a couch.

What a bedside manner you must have. A—hole.

Good thing my patients aren’t awake. What I lack in bedside manner, I make up for in technical skill. But sure, choose a surgeon based on bedside manner. It doesn’t matter if they can keep you alive.

Literally no one cares if you are a doctor. You’re still a raging a-hole. GFY.

I am sure that’s no accident, that they have you with unconscious people.

NP. It makes me so sad that people come on here to bash teachers, and even more sad that the teachers take the bait.

Fellow teachers. Please remember Michelle Obama’s words: “when they go low we go high”.

I’m not a doctor. The doctor is another PP. is there anything wrong with what I said? It is all true. Are teacher salaries high in the US? What is the acceptance rates of education schools in the US and what is the average GPA of those accepted?

I worked 55-60+ hours a week through much of the pandemic. Again, more excuses. Is it easy? Sure as hell not. If it was important to you, you'd have made it happen.

pretty certain it's a lot easier to teach an elementary class than direct a movie. Just sayin, suckers.

60 hours in the OR isn’t 60 hours of work. Also, 55-60 hours of whatever job you do is probably a joke.

Can someone explain the state of education in the US then? So many kids are failing.

And while you’re at it, explain how there are many homeschool success stories. We know many families nationwide that chose to homeschool during the pandemic rather than suffer through virtual school. Kids that were behind in math and reading were able to catch up (and some were able to progress beyond grade level) when they were given one-on-one attention and met where they were at.

SJH kills me. “SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!” She’s unhinged! 🤣

This is a great book on the sorry state of education in the US -- but it doesn't address systemic racism, which is probably an even larger part of the story: https://www.amazon.com/Search-Deeper-Learning-Remake-American/dp/0674988396

Education is almost as big a crisis as climate change. I genuinely fear for my children and future generations.
