Yep and plenty of good teachers have to invest their own money for resources because they take pride in their job and school funding is trash.

This has always irked the hell out of me. As if a poor teacher is the only profession who has to invest their own money.

Almost everyone I know has to invest in their own careers. I’ve been in outside sales for 20yrs. Don’t get me started. I spend more a month than teachers do in a year and I don’t spend nearly as much as many others professions like carpenters, welders, electricians, loan officers, etc.
