If I had to spend 6 or 7 hrs every day with a bunch of kids that you are limited in how you correct them and put up with the bullshite administrations that govern the place you are teaching these kids, I would probably bitch a little bit myself.

Too many teachers do complain too much - and I'm a teacher.

You ever deal with 150 teenagers a day? Do you see the videos of these said teens on Tik Tok and other places? Most of the regular people can’t even control their own teen much less a class with 35. Sub one day and you might get it. Try McKinley HS baw.
Not denying this. But nobody is being forced to be a teacher? They need to fight to change this shite. Do they have unions?

So what percentage of parents are shitty, in your opinion?
As defined by the post you’re quoting as it applies to the system that I teach in, around 66.7%.

Screw teachers’ unions. They have always been pretty much worthless here, but what they pulled with COVID made me despise them. They made us all look bad.

So when they "increase funding" for schools is that where the money goes?
Before last year, teachers in my district had gone 10+ years without a raise. I don’t bitch about my pay often because that is something that I was well aware of when I entered the profession. To answer, central offices are over staffed. The people determining how the money is spent are ridiculously wasteful, in my opinion. US DOE has far too much say in spending and policy because most schools would be in trouble without federal funding.

Federal government sticks it’s nose in and school boards are afraid of law suits and it goes down the chain of command. Can you fix shitty parents who don’t want the kids at home either? They can’t control them.

Most teachers live within 15 minutes of their school.
Most of the time, they are home by 3:15 lol
And they get 60+ full days off during the summer when they're kids are out of school.
State benefits and pension plan - that only exist in very limited situations.
Those are the perks.
Now for the negatives -
They work will ALL sorts of kids. Good, bad, terrible, high-achievers, no parents in the home,etc.
They work for below average pay.
They spend money out of their own pockets at times, to meet the needs of their classrooms.
their curriculum is dictated to them by a higher board of education that may, or may not have their $hit together.
And I am sure there are extra duties (many) that they have to volunteer for with no extra pay.
In the end, you signed up for it and I, for one, totally appreciate all the teacher's who have taught (and mothered) my boys over the years.

I’m not really denying that these things happen. But don’t be a teacher?

It’s the usual “this sucks but nobody wants to do anything to fix it” line that applies to many different things, not just teaching.

Yeah, that'll fix all of our problems. You send your kids to school, right?

For the same reasons parents will post on social media in August how they can't wait for their kids to be back in school.
There's a common denominator here.

Hard Work isn't the same as putting up with bad arse kids all day.
Let me say, I'm not a teacher but respect those that do it.
And like every profession, there's bad apples & complaining.

Maybe it needs to come crashing down so it can be fixed?

It will never get fixed since the correct palms are being greased, just follow the money that the Teacher's Unions collects.

Kudos to you. Not many can offer this to their children.
Assuming you have kids, of course.
