I'm not in the US; I'm French.
Teachers are the biggest losers ever. They enable bullying because they either don't care or enjoy it (and a lot of times actively encourage it), they never admit to any wrongdoing ever, and worst of all do all of this for barely above minimum wage yet somehow are proud of their job.
What the fuck?
French teachers are paid around 2000€/month, so not quite minimum wage (which is at 1766€), but still insultingly low for a job that requires 5 years of higher education.
I was responding to the phrasing that seemingly implied that they should not be proud of their jobs because it doesn't pay well
I mean, sure, I had a few bad teachers myself at certain ages, but there were good ones too.
Making it up to be some kind of power-trip seems wrong to me, although there certainly are a few of those.
I will say though, that teaching the same curriculum year in year out grinds down almost anyone.
I felt lucky that each student was truly different since their various issues needed such radically different approaches, but that was spec. ed., not normal school.
