[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The respect for teachers have gone down tremendously after the pandemic. Before, we used to think it is noble profession and they care about teaching and students, blah blah blah. Some of the teacher may still care, but overall it is quite clear that they don't really care about teaching or students well being. Anytime you mention teaching in person, they revert back and tell you that they are not babysitters. The fact of the matter is that no one is expecting them to be babysitters, at least do the job for which you are getting paid which is teaching IN-PERSON.[/quote]
The entire premise of this post is untrue. Two years ago teachers were absolutely not treated with respect and as if they were fulfilling a noble calling. They were severely underpaid relative to their level of education and responsibility, and they were called names constantly on these fora.

I'm not a teacher (though I'm related to a couple), and I have no particular dog in this fight. But, c'mon, let's at least be honest. All this BS about "teachers are vital public servants". Maybe if we had been treating them like that over the last few decades, things would be different now.[/quote]

Teachers are well paid for their education level and the amount of days worked in a year. If they weren’t, there wouldn’t be people willing to work as teachers. Some teaching jobs are harder to fill than others because the work is harder or the private sector pays better. There should be a system to pay those teachers more but overall? Teachers’ compensation and benefits package are generous.[/quote]

In this area, if it were spread out to a full work year, they would be comparable to Feds with a si par education level. [/quote]
