Dude are you reading these threads? Pecker would open a teacher concentration camp with gas chambers if he could.
, Pecker notwithstanding, I think most people just get tired of any group bitching about their job. O&G folks get ridiculed on here when they do it. Teachers get the same criticism. No profession is really immune from that here.

You also hedged your bet by saying you can simultaneously know and not know how hard it is.
That's not hedging a bet. It's acknowledging that you can think something is difficult and even then be surprised at how difficult it actually is when you experience it.

Is that not the same exact thing? Why does it matter where you source the information from?

He's misrepresenting what was actually said.
I tend to agree with you about parenthood and know really understanding it - good or bad - unless you experience it.
However, I've got no clue what you're arguing. Pecker just said mothers as a whole are perhaps more delusional than teachers. He clarified later what group of mothers he was referencing.

Well, I couldn't respond to his future posts at the time, now could I?
And let's not pretend like Peck doesn't have a post history

Yeah that comment is bogus. Anytime someone uses average pay while discussing a job is a red flag.
Median pay for firefighters was $49k in 2017.

Pull students who care about learning and interview them about their teachers if you want a truer picture of teacher quality.
Ladies and gentlemen: the magical unicorn.
Not a teacher, but I work in Leadership with direct reports. In each of the last 3 jobs I've taken, the departments were a mess, no real accountability. Came in, held folks accountable, got really low employee satisfaction scores in the 1st couple of months. In each role, I weeded out the shitty employees by firing them or getting them to quit because they knew they'd have to actually work, and by the end of year 1, I'd have really high employee satisfaction scores coinciding with once I got all the bad apples out.
If I want to know how the leaders who report to me are performing, I'd go to my best folks at the team member level and ask, I certainly wouldn't ask the shitty team members.

Well, Scruffy also works with kids, has to deal with their parents daily, and can get sued to oblivion and back if he makes a mistake.
Oh, and his hours are about the same without the summers off.
Oh, and the stress level is higher.
Scruffy’s job is no where near the hardest there is, but teachers are delusional as frick.

All of this is true. Teaching is extremely difficult. The worst part is they want us to start back 2 weeks from now!

The grass is always greener. Many, if not most jobs, are similar in difficulty, made easier by a natural inclination to the work or developed skill for it. Teaching has its difficulties, and it has its advantages.
In the meantime, I understand that the law profession has the highest rate of dependency development, so suck it up, buttercups--being a lawyer is the hardest profession based on dependency on stress relief.

My mom was a 3rd grade teacher and she rolled out 30 minutes after the bell erry day. And I never saw her do "homework" - you put on a movie or give them busy work and handle that paperwork girl.

You suggested that I'd need kids of my own to know what it's like. Which is preposterous.
One will not understand the stress of a parent until they are one. That is common sense really
That isnt saying there are not other situations in life that has more stress, it just highlights the unique stress parenting involves
I would also say one cant understand the stress in a life or death situation unless in one
Or the stress of being a high level athlete unless they have been one
That all seems like common sense and not really a lnch type opinion
