So they work year round like every other adult profession? And oh wow, they spend their own money on supplies? Like, gee I dunno, almost every other trade I can think of?
Must be fucking brutal, how do they do it?
when dipshits like yourself vote to cut budgets year after year after year.
I actually think they should be paid better but they also should really stop bitching. Most of em never worked a day outside their profession and think they have it harder than the rest of us, and it's obnoxious.
Teaching is a cushy job. There are tons and tons of people beating down school's doors to get a unionized teaching position. Its one of the most competitive job markets.
Its not that way because teaching is inordinately difficult ot unfair. It's because it's a secure, comfortable state job. Telling high schoolers what you thought about William Faulkner for $40K a year isn't a brutal hardship. It's a good gig.
