Yeah but why would you want to be a teacher if you can't teach properly? Do something else. It's like back in Victorian London, where most teachers were actually illiterate (as comes through particularly in Dickens's writings - I recall one (dramatised) scene from I think Nicholas Nickelby (but I can't be sure) where the "teacher" is spelling window for the kids and writes W-I-N-D-E-R on the board. "Winder," he says: spell it as it sounds. Good god). According to what I've read, much of the teaching population was just men there to babysit kids while their mothers were off working, and all they knew to do was deal out punishment. Nobody learned anything.

Teachers are basically still babysitters now. I've heard plenty of teachers say they're not when their students are being ****heads, but shut up, bitch, why do you think school is in session when the parents are at work?

Yeah. There’s a lot of denial among teachers about what is actually going on. It’s ****ing free daycare for sure. And the most ****ed up kids never miss a day because their mothers aren’t going to miss getting him out of the house. I’ve called home and had mothers encourage me to call their JPO’s. And I’m quoting this close to verbatim from their mothers, “You need to call his parole. Get that little n——- back in jail.”

Well no offence but if this is the state your education system is in, no wonder there's so much trouble over there. Mind you, it could be as bad here: I can only talk from when I was in school (circa 1903) and the worst that happened to teachers was a lack of respect, things (chalk, paper darts, spitballs) thrown at them, but it never got what I would have called out of hand. The teachers always did their best to teach, even in the face of adversity and apathy, and some even offered to help students after school who were having difficulty with a subject. All I know is, I listened, I learned, and I definitely benefitted from school. Even if I did hate maths.

I was in some unusually difficult situations. Things that seem universal to me aren’t but after a while it starts to seem like all you see is all there is. At least, with me it does.

The Dems are more responsible for destroying the profession.

Ted Cruz had the most teacher friendly platform.

Federal elections shouldn’t even matter.
