[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That video is so sad but the US just doesn't care about public education.[/quote]

some states do; some states want low taxes which hurts public education for sure.  [b]It's just a choice their citizens make.[/quote][/b]

And the people in the video chose to become teachers.  Don't go into a field without researching it.  We ultimately have to be responsible for our decisions. Blaming others doesn't help anyone.[/quote]

Okay, wait a minute....when you are 18 or 19 years old, most people aren't wise enough to do research the pay in every state and all the implications of that.  I mean, when I decided my profession, I didn't have a good understanding of the pay or health insurance outside of "oh, I need a job that provides insurance".  
When teachers have to rely on food pantries, there is very, very clearly something wrong and the problem isn't that some young kid didn't research his or her field.  [/quote]

I was in high school with someone who's life dream was to be a teacher. Even then I couldn't understand that. Unless your kid is stupid they know how to look up estimated salaries. I looked up the costs of veterinary school (easily $300,000) and the average salary while I was taking my PSATs.

Then I changed my mind about being a veterinarian. Simple. [/quote]

What's your thinking, here? That people shouldn't become teachers because the salaries are low? Then what? Then there wouldn't be any teachers, so salaries would have to go up in order to attract people into teaching? Do you think that salaries would actually go up?[/quote]

No, my thinking is the PP above said 18 and 19-year-olds are too stupid to realize what a low salary is and are going into the profession blind so they aren't ultimately responsible. Not true. [/quote]
