Those are the teachers who need to find a different field. Good riddance.

Children deserve an education, not radical indoctrination.[/quote]

Long-time educator here. I've never belonged to a union or called in sick as a protest in my life; but I can promise you that when my general age group of women retires, there will be few replacements applying. Expectations for meeting all kids' needs will be too hard for not enough pay.[/quote]
Many, many young people would love to join the teaching profession, including some in my own family. It’s the bureaucracy that’s keeping them away. Agree?[/quote]

No, it's the lack of pay and lack of respect.[/quote]

It's a lack of pay and the notion that it is woman's work. It's the push from parents to go into stem fields.

No young person is thinking about so-called bureaucracy[/quote]

Women like women's work. [/quote]

I tbink "women's work" should be valued more. For women who are smart, nurturing, and kind with strong organizational skills, careers in nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, psychology etc can be a perfect fit and extremely rewarding over a lifetime.[/quote]

We need more than "valuing the work" we need appropriate and safe working conditions- we need better pay-we need to be respected in our jobs and our society and paid for all the "extra" hours. Stop gaslighting people in these professions-"do it for the kids" we appreciate you "going with the flow" which could mean not having basic needs met to do our jobs but trudging through the day-this goes for social workers, nurses and psychologists as well. These jobs are necessary and the people who do them are caring empathetic people stop walking all over them.[/quote]

PP here. I'm not sure why you're telling me to stop walking all over them. I'm one of them! Every woman in my family is in one of those professions. My comment valuing them more would include pay, etc that you mentioned. [/quote]
