There are people here who live for this shit. Live. For. It.

Look at this live one!

Some of us were required to stay and work much later than usual, as our coworkers became sick (or quit). I worked 60+ hour weeks in the OR. Not quite the same as teaching 3-4 hours a day, 4 days a week from a couch.

This poster thinks that by putting in a dig about a couch has them game set and match against anyone who would dare to try to defend public school teachers (not those private school ones they were willing to sacrifice their lives for these kids!)

A freaking couch.

A comfortable place to sit in their home when they were forced to do distance learning during a global pandemic. It could be any sitting surface but it has to be a couch. Allusion to couch potato. (public) Teacher are lazy, get it?

Most of these posters are unhinged, bitter, and extremely soft people. The pandemic shone the world's brightest spotlight on them and they doubled down on all of it. Pathetic.

And because you know what a-holes some of the parents are. The people I know that have b—tched and moaned the most about their kids being behind this year can’t bring themselves to take their iPad games away and never had them do the required reading at home. No wonder their kids are behind! Teachers aren’t miracle workers. I will say- these are kids third grade and up. This was a horrible time for second grade down- but CoVID ain’t the teachers’ fault, either.

Some of us had full-time jobs to go to. You know, like me — working in a hospital the entire pandemic. Yes, my kid fell behind. How in the world is that my fault?

But hey, thanks for showing up to your jobs.

You don’t work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can help your kids on your off time, as so many of us who work full-time plus did. Stop with the excuses.

What a bedside manner you must have. A—hole.

Good thing my patients aren’t awake. What I lack in bedside manner, I make up for in technical skill. But sure, choose a surgeon based on bedside manner. It doesn’t matter if they can keep you alive.

I’m a teacher. It’s not “intellectually difficult”? That’s so insulting.

In Finland, the cream of the crop become teachers. Their salaries are high and education schools are very selective. Not the case in the US. Sure many smart ppl go to education school but most of them are mediocre.

Teachers didn’t force you into nursing, and they didn’t get you pregnant, either. Give it up.
