My point with that idiot up there is that there's a lot that goes unnoticed. I've gotten tons of PMs since being here about being a firefighter, when there isn't much to it for most firefighters. Airport firefighters are even worse.

Brb, clean the same truck every single shift. Yep. These bottles still have air despite being checked by the last crew. Oh look, we have another medical call. Very little hard work IMO. Most of the hard work comes on 1% of the calls you get. You'll do more hard work lifting weights while on the clock than actually fighting fires. Worst part is wearing your PPE in summer. While teaching is more like... every single day is a headache of some sort.

Being anti-2nd Amendment is like saying "We have too many rights, please take some away!"

TLDR but agreed

I’m all for unions in the private sector , espically the skilled trades because some of those guys work hard af to feed their families and support themselves

But teachers get away with too much. I’ve had some nasty , lazy ****s for teachers when I was in school.

They always lie about their income too when they make MUCH more.

When I lived in the Hampton roads area teachers would always tell me they did it for the love of the job and only made 35-40k.

Lol bro , if you’re in the teachers union you’re making 70k in a non major metro area.

Any big or major city you make more.

What’s even more rage enducing is seeing how bad they’re poisoning and corrupting our youth and what they get away with.

I can’t imagine how bad the university doctrine is. So glad I chose not to go to school and get soyified.

Former public school teacher here. I'd like anyone who thinks teaching is easy to step into our shoes and try teaching an overcrowded class of inner city youth who all have tremendous amounts of issues, problems, insecurities, aggressiveness and complete disdain for authority figures day in and day out. On top of that, you have to deal with incompetent admin and out of touch curriculum designers who think that what works in China or Finland will automatically work for kids in the US. On top of the insane work load (each teacher has anywhere between 100-200 students to teach), the fact that schools have become so PC'd to the point where detentions/suspensions are no longer an option, you are stuck with a chaotic classrooms at times.

And by the way, the unions suck. They will not help you if they feel you're not worth helping but they will happily take a big chunk of your paycheck so that the head honchos can drive in limos and have large parties to hob nob with the elite.

Lmao , they wouldn’t last a ****ing day on a jobsite. Most teachers are flaming progressives like college professors.

A lot of states in the Southeast, it is written into their state constitutions that teachers cannot unionize. Ya'll do realize its not free money during summer right?? Part of their pre-tax paycheck during working months is set aside for "reserve checks/summer checks". So its not $40K for 9 months. Its $40K for 12 months, with weak ass 2x a month paychecks. And yea, this entire COVID crap completely screwed their lesson plans. Some of them never used Google classroom in their life before. Hell even online classrooms at college is Canvas/Blackboard, so they had no idea. Also, lets be real, 99% of parent use teachers and school as the phucking scapegoat babysitter.

Yea 2nd grade math sounds easy when we are adults. But explaining basic math to 8 year old's coming from a poor home who can't read in poondick Georgia, with chit parents and never enough food in their house isn't easy. Title 1 schools where most kids live below the poverty line are the worst. But teachers are expected to handle 25+ kids, hungry and pissed off, but when they call the parents for help.."Nope, its your problem now".

Problem isn't the teachers or the kids. Its crappy ass parents who think they are entitled. So please, take your kid and put them in private school. It's less stress on them from having to deal with ****gy time parents.

Is there any chance you have this perspective because your old job was bad ass and now you’re a daycare attendant?

It’s just hard to imagine teaching a bunch of toddlers is that difficult.
How old are your students... Elementary school? High school?

simple, if ghey don't want to learn, tell them to leave or quietly play on their obama phones. Fuk them, leave them behind.

Teach your own curriculum if its solid It'll pass any testing, otherwise go about your **** or don't teach in the slums. Yojre free to apply for jobs in an area that isn’t infiltrated by scum and degenerates, you took that job so...

It depends heavily on the district. The district my wife works for had them doing tons of virtual work with the kids. She is a counselor and would hold 3 to 4 one hour zoom sessions a day with her kids along with other things. Another district that some friends of ours work for admitted they haven't done a damn thing since school shut down. They told me that they call in to the principal once a week to make sure they are still alive and plan on coming back in the fall.

sounds like counselor is probably doing more than most with the zoom meetings alone.

I saw my nieces hw, all online, all graded electronically, so I think a lot of the complaints are overstated

Like I said it depends heavily on the district. My wife works for the bougiest district in the state so that was kinda expected. I can guarantee you that the kids in the Mississippi delta and the Alabama black belt ain't doing a damn thing

How are the gangs supposed to recruit if all the kids are at home with their parent because of remote learning? How are they supposed to push their drugs if their potential customers aren't congregated together at the schools?

What your wife is doing aligns with what my friends have told me as well. I'm looking over Philly Public School's just-released Fall 2020 reopening plan and it's....something. Families self-enforcing is such a quaint idea in a district where parents can't even mange to keep their children clothed enough to stave off frostbite at the bus stop. Schools will provide masks when schools can't even provide running water? Yeah okay.

Yup. Literally avoid doing certain labs and activities just because I know equipment would be vandalized or kids would be put in danger with chemicals. Worst part is most of these parents defend their kids behavior-just to have it happen on a day to day basis with no consequences. We are reinforcing that kids can get away with anything.

As soon as they try it though the SPLC and ACLU immediately sue the chit out them and the board immediately puts a stop to any type of reform.

They can't even get teachers from around here cause everyone around here knows whats up. They have this little program called teach across America though where they import 22 y/o liberal white chicks from Nebraska and New Hampshire to come down and teach for around double the salary they pay locals with the promise that if they can make it for 4 years they'll pay off all their student loans. The % of the ones that make it the 5 years is close to 0. I feel horrible for most of those girls. One ended up getting groped on video by like 10 guys in her classroom a couple years back.

The US is vast and diverse place and just because where you live is some utopian paradise doesn't mean that 2000 miles away isn't a bombed out hellscape

I see the teachers on my FB feed bitching about their pay constantly and now complaining about having to go back to school with covid. Its such an embarrassment. my mom was a teacher so i respect what they do but i have no idea why they constantly complain about their pay. they work 190 days and make double the average income for the state if youre in the south. Everyone sites the starting pay but they get raises almost every year. PLUS they get a pension which is nonexistent in most jobs today.
In Arkansas where my mother taught the average HOUSEHOLD income is $47k a year, the percapita is only 25k. She was making nearly $60k and literally only working half the year. now shes retired and still her pension plus SS is like 6k a month. i mean. wtf are teachers complaining about?
Yeah a lot of people, including myself, make more than that, but most only get 2 weeks off. That means experienced teachers are making double the average income and working TWO months less than the average person. 60 days less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

This is why you live in an upper middle class/upper class area (thats majority white/asian). You will NEVER see things like this in school district like that.

Minority majority school districts all have this issue. It's a cultural problem. Wouldn't expect anything different from the LA school district.

My wife works in a school district and she makes a lot of money for the south. Sure it would suck to be a teacher in NYC but down here teachers get paid more than most white collar jobs, get tons of time off and a pension. It's a sweet deal.

As soon as they try it though the SPLC and ACLU immediately sue the chit out them and the board immediately puts a stop to any type of reform.

They can't even get teachers from around here cause everyone around here knows whats up. They have this little program called teach across America though where they import 22 y/o liberal white chicks from Nebraska and New Hampshire to come down and teach for around double the salary they pay locals with the promise that if they can make it for 4 years they'll pay off all their student loans. The % of the ones that make it the 5 years is close to 0. I feel horrible for most of those girls. One ended up getting groped on video by like 10 guys in her classroom a couple years back.

The US is vast and diverse place and just because where you live is some utopian paradise doesn't mean that 2000 miles away isn't a bombed out hellscape
Holy chit I have witnessed this first hand when I did an observation at one of the roughest schools I have ever visited in east LA. 50 kids in a chemistry classroom. 40 of them talking loudly, out of their seat, ignoring the lesson. 3 kids running around the room playing tag. 7 actually listening and taking notes. It was a horrifying experience but made me realize something important-until there is accountability at home when it comes to schoolwork and behavior, there’s absolutely nothing school can fix.

Both parents worked as teachers in their lives before switching careers/retiring

Both would agree teachers unions are overall harmful the vast majority of the time

Must be that systemic racism I hear about, lol
Awesome, so you'd leave a 2nd grader behind because he/she didn't take "the option to participate..."?

Interesting, how old are your students?
I didn’t really consider the bs with the board and politics and meetings
It's not just about knowing the content. You need to be able to deliver the content to kids who learn differently, so how will you differentiate the delivery of the content? Don't forget also, that you need to plan this differentiation, so when will you do this? A teacher finishes his/her classes at 3:00-3:30, then meetings, marking, talking to parents etc. Get home at about 4:30pm or so, so do it then? But keep in mind that you must do this differentiation for ALL lessons and ALL KLAs (subjects) every day, so it goes well past 6-7 most days. Of course, that's if you decide to not spend any time with your kids or eat dinner.

You have the other poster, saying "herp...derp...you signed up for the job..." Yeah, and? No one is complaining about the job, we're just explaining what the job entails to people who are ignorant of what it is really like

Figure it out and home school.

Also get a group of people and challenge your taxes. You're paying money to fund something that isn't open. Fuk that.

Schools are opening here in the fall, and I can't imagine being a parent and sending kids to school to sit isolated, with masks on all day, in one room for 8 hours, and have little to no real interaction with peers. That is called jail.

Home school is the solution.

Then homeschool, problem solved. Consider outsourcing writing and English coursework.
