Teachers are not heroes. They are susceptible to being the same overly dramatic morons as in any other position. You get into this situation, by elevating people above others because tik-tok told you they were heroes.

There are some teachers that are worth their weight in gold, but that is the exception, not the rule.

Our current testing scores is a true indicator of the state of our "teachers" in this country, as well as the bang up job of some of these "parents".

There was a time when no one was overly dramatic.
There was a time when only students were overly dramatic.
Times change

We were very involved in the formation of a charter school and saw it grow from 150 students to about 3,000. One thing we noticed is that the teachers, as a whole, frequently reflected the age group they were teaching.
k-5 all got along, like puppies
6-8 started getting bitchy and full of rumors
9-12 pretty much like high school. No more fights over silly stuff like the middle school, but lots of scheming and jockeying for position.

Now overall we had a very good staff and everybody, principal included, had one year contracts so problem children could be let go. But the the extent that there were issues among the teachers, that's what they looked like more often than not.
