I live very close to Avon, maybe 30-45 minutes away, and I can say with absolute certainty that if you can't live on $40,000 a year here then you're a fucking idiot.

A lot of it is to blame on social media - these people are glued to Instagram / tik tok / etc and just mindless scroll for hours at people living these supposed amazing lives through filters and think they need to do that to - fear of missing out as they say. I think the phrase was 30 thousand-aire where you got these types driving cars, buying clothes, taking vacations, etc all things they can’t afford but run up credit cards and go into serious debt just to show off to strangers on the internet. A lot of it is people aren’t being taught the difference between wants and needs and how to properly budget.
It drives me nuts to hear young people say they can’t afford to invest long term when thanks to things like Acorn and stash you can invest a little every paycheck that grows over time which can turn into another income stream eventually from the dividends. Then again you got people that get out of college and have no idea about the stock market.

My 3rd grade teacher was such an abysmal cunt I’d legit stab her if I met her now.Why get into the profession when you're aware that the pay isn't great then complain when you're not getting paid enough?
I've heard about teachers having bad salaries going back far as when I was in 3rd grade.
Sure they get summers off, weekends off, vacations, benefits, and one of the most powerful unions in the country.
But I guess when you don't have enough time to take selfies for attention on Instagram it can become a burden.
I suppose I just don't feel bad for this cunt.

Ugh, I once was talking to this girl I met on a dating app and she came over my place once and gave me shit because I didn’t have all the streaming apps because I don’t need to pay for shit I barely watch. Mind you I own my place and live comfortably (not rich but not pay check to pay check) while she worked some shit job while living at home. Two years later I saw her again on the dating app and she now was a single mom but still using photos from years ago.

I don't know of any other job where you regularly could have nervous breakdowns and temper tantrums, etc. and not lose your job.
I can count on two hands the teachers and substitutes we absolutely jocktobered.
These were teachers who taught teenagers, like high school (?) not little kids.
Teachers who never had a second job or lay about all holidays long - nebbish mentally stunted adults who were afraid to enter the real world.
Teachers with actual success stories in industry or involved in other shit in their downtime, doesn't pander to retards and niggers - awesome.
Parents & kids should be allowed to review performances of individual teachers and have it impact their pay.

I happen to think that teachers get paid far too much. They should be lowballed and should have to be certified every 2 years. Also they should be in the school all summer long doing prep work of some kind. The fact that they work childs schedule and dare complain about pay....
"We have to buy our own materials!"
Nice, nobody asked you to go out and buy holiday decor to hang up on the chalk board that you're not using. And still most teachers do it.

A friend of mine decided to do the "noble thing" and take his middling economics degree from one of the best universities in the world and "give back" by teaching mathematics to kids at an inner city comprehensive in London (the fact that he didn't get past round 1 interviews at any investment bank/hedge fund obviously had nothing to do with his choice.) He made it almost two years, which is two years more than I would have, but had all his liberal misgivings about "disadvantaged youth" drummed out of him. Having 14 year old, 200 lb black girls screaming obscenities at you will probably do that.
He now works at some expat international school in Spain, where he makes low six figures teaching algebra to nicely behaved rich kids, impregnating his wife every 2 years and golfing his brains out on Sundays in the sun. And he obviously gets the ridiculous teacher holidays too. I asked him if he thought he'd ever go back to teach in London again. "Fuck no" was his answer. I still wouldn't want to do it, but that seems like a pretty good deal.

The fact that teaching is dominated by women proves it's a job for useless individuals.

Gotta be the only profession that complains about having to purchase the tools they need to get the job done. Meanwhile anyone smart buys the best tools for the job that’ll make their life easier.

As was intimated earlier, I don't think they're actually buying necessary tools. The media always goes all in with that narrative, but I'd really like to see where teachers are buying books and chalkboards and shit. It's more like optional things they want for their classroom
All this being said, I guess they probably are sort of underpaid (outside of the northeast where they're overpaid) when you consider it costs like 40K a year for an inmate lol

Also to complain about that is the same as complaining to have to buy professional clothes for work. Can’t they write buying those materials on their taxes? I knew a couple guys who found all kinds of ways to write things off - even dry cleaning costs because it was needed to clean his clothes for work - which he defined as his uniform for work. Yes, he was Jewish. I think ABBA pulled something like this, that’s why they always wore those stage outfits - even when not on stage - because it was for tax write offs.

Plus they get to stay home when it snows too.I actually heard the below from a teacher...
Teacher: so we get a couple months off for summer, so what?! We have to come in a WEEK earlier than the kids
Nice comparing your working schedule to a 7 year old's schedule, stupid.
Plus they get winter break.and spring break too
"But we have to stay late for conferences!!" Yeah- like twice a year, you fucks

I personally think they should have to come in on snow days and help shovel.

All I know is if a kid is determined to learn something that they are REALLY interested in, they have plenty of resources from experts from all over the internet.

I remember when the Ukraine situation started they had all these pieces on the news of “how to explain the situation to your kids” and they meant like teenager which I thought was odd. Then I saw reports of how High Schools were “handling this” (what? There’s always been wars going on in other countries, why is this so important for kids?) and these teachers were pretty much having kids watch CNN in class instead of actually teaching and I thought holy shit were in trouble if that’s what’s going on in schools. High Schools seem to have become just day care for teenagers. I was in high school when 9/11 happened and the schools didn’t do shit about “how do we handle this?” With weeks of classes and even special support groups dealing with it.
But no, Russia / Ukraine was treated as a very serious issue that meant it became all the learner about in certain classes. Because teachers are lazy and used it as an excuse to fuck off and have CNN teach the kids.
