Do you get that saying "teachers in DCPS are super well paid" is not the same as saying "teaching is a bullshit job and it's probably easier than what I do"?

Also, it depends on the teacher, honestly. My kid has had teachers in DCPS who were amazing, deserve double their paycheck, just absolutely phenomenal. I've also come across some real duds who should either be forced into retirement of fired, including a specials teacher who just showed the kids movies every single class for an entire year. I mean EVERY class. I just looked and that teacher took home 85k that year (we are no longer at that school). Making 85k to press play on a movie 6 times a day and hand out the occasional coloring page (and skip back to school night and every other school event -- I never once saw this teacher outside of school hours) is pretty bullshit.

Every industry has its slackers, but, in most, they're fired in fairly short order. In my profession, people are fired not for being slackers but for being the least productive, even if they aren't slackers. It can be frustrating to parents how teachers who plainly have no interest in teaching children are allowed to remain on the job indefinitely. But that's the government for you. [/quote]
