[quote=Anonymous]THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS!!! We are either teacher-killers or hate being parents. 
The other classic retort is that we "want free babysitting". WTF? In our capitalist system, love it or hate it, school and work are scheduled to overlap for 7 hours so that adults can work. So, yes, in some ways teachers do function as babysitters in that they make sure the kid doesn't DIE while mom works...But that doesn't mean we don't appreciate the specialist skills of teachers.

No, they can't, because they're loudly and hysterically sick of parenting.[/quote]

This. This is an anti-feminist statement and we need to start calling it out EVERY TIME WE SEE IT. Women are leaving the workforce in droves. Studies show it. And yet they get accused of “not wanting to parent” because, I don’t know, they had expected to send their kid to school so that they could build a career and earn an income. We women played along and played our part. There is a vaccine now and teachers can currently get it. Back to work. [/quote] [/quote]
