Is there a group of people more allergic to work

Solid post. There are some great English teachers out there teaching AP classes and busting their asses.1to392831weretaken said:My wife was a high school English teacher for a decade. Every single one of the whiny excuses dismissed here were the case with her. She was National Board certified, was required to get the equivalent of a masters on the side while doing her day job, brought about 20 hours worth of work home with her per week, and topped out at about $60K (theoretically; she would have made that had she worked full-time, but this was impossible after the kids were born). The upside was getting nine weeks off in breaks every year. In the meantime, Common Core meant that every teacher had to completely revamp their lesson plans every year, so there was no getting into a groove, parents would blame her for their little shits being retards, and the kids became increasingly cruel. I could see the above arguments being valid for, say, a PE teacher or elementary school teacher or sixth grad math or something, but there are plenty of public school teachers that really do bust ass.
I pretty much begged her to quit, as she was only bringing home $500 per month after daycare, and I wasn't able to do shit on the weekends because she was grading papers. I could literally pick up one overtime shift per month and double what she brought in, so it just seemed stupid for her to be occupied seven days per week. My free time multiplied by ten for just $500 per month. It was a no-brainer. After the kids started school, she didn't want to sit around, so now she's running a business that's bringing in nearly what she was making teaching but with far fewer hours, a completely flexible schedule, and she's way happier. Win-win.
At the peak of her earning, I was making three times what she made (with better benefits and six weeks vacation to her nine) while 80% of my job involves napping, watching races or football games, surfing Hardcore Husky, etc. If we want to discuss allergic to work, try spending a day at a refinery surrounded by pussy liberal refinery workers. My biggest challenge every shift these days is getting the console operator to put the Nintendo Switch down for a second to advance permissives so I can turn a valve. It takes me two months to train an operator at a new job because they can only pay attention for a couple of hours per day. I've seen battles that last a whole day over the audacious suggestion that one perform an honest hour of work.
Many take the route of no papers. No papers = Less work for teachers. Research allegedly shows that doing papers is of no value and AP classes don’t work well with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Specific minorities are underrepresented in AP classes. Solution: Eliminate AP classes.
As an aside, your wife must have worked at a small town or school district if top pay was $60,000.
My sister was an elementary school teacher at a school district in Southern California for 41 years. Collects a pension of $113,000 (give or take). Figure she’s been paid over $2M (give or take) since retirement.
BTW: She worked in a CA city that has declared bankruptcy.

The establishment of the Department of Education under Jimmy Carter was a huge mistake.Sledog said:Boot poor performance. Schools should be local. Open schools to enrollment no boundaries. The free market will work this shit out in few months. Money follows the child.
A bloated bureaucracy ensued . . . Education has deteriorated since it’s inception. -
Ah, but the Teacher Unions and the dem party are flush with taxpayer dollars. Actual mission accomplished, phuck the kids.trublue said:

The superintendent of TUSD tried to open in November of 2020, but the teachers, unions, and a corrupt bored member cried bloody murder. So the children lose.

You guys had two years to change the narrative. Two years of kids staying home being taught by mom and dad
The kids got dumber. Test scores are worse. They hated being with their parents so much….Kids started killing themselves and needing to go to therapy.

And that is whose fault? That's not my team, that is your team. My team would be Team DeSantis and yours is team Chinslee, Brown and Newsom. Send the money with the student and then the parents could have picked a school that didn't shut down.HuskyJW said:You guys had two years to change the narrative.

what a depressing thread - the kids are screwed

That’s my point in the op ams it’s painfully obvious. Ever check teachers social media the night a snowstorm is predicted and school will be cancelled? It’s embarrassing.WestlinnDuck said:haie said:
