re: Is there a profession better at patting themselves on the back than teachers?

Lol. That's not how it works.

My brother tutors in his spare time. He got a 1600 on the SAT and has taken the LSAT and MCAT.
He makes over 75k a year just doing private tutoring sessions.
If teachers actually did their job, h3 wouldn't be in demand.

Where I live it's most of June, all of July, and a very tiny bit of August. Nowhere near 3 months.
My daughter taught in person and virtually (at the same time!) all year. She had parents that wondered why their virtual kid made bad grades, but the kid is telling the teacher..."I'm leaving because we are going to a hair appt." Kids doing all kinds of other shite while they are supposed to be watching school. Parents telling the teacher, "when they're home, they don't have to do anything you say...if I want them to do something else, they will." Then they wonder why they flunk. It's a mess!
She is leaving teaching after this year...it was already planned. She's already gone back and taken prereqs and got into physical therapy school. She loved the kids. But the district had so much other crap she had to do that had nothing to do with teaching. Smart kid and smart decision to leave.

I see this whole strain of people telling us how uniquely awesome they are, whether it be their profession or their sexual identity-whatever- as a sign of how rapidly people are adopting NARCICISSISTIC TRAITS because of how Social Media has transformed the human psyche. We would have said this was boorish and insufferable as recently as 10- 15 years ago. Now everybody is uniquely special or virtuous, and they are going to remind you all day and if you make even a sound while they are extolling their alleged virtues, they are going to put you in your place, Mr. Man.

This says it all right here doesn’t it? Trying to prove how hard it is and the top examples are sometimes getting home after 5pm and going to football games.

Wow, not always home by 5:00? How do you manage?
I was responding to the suggestion that we leave at 3:00. During football season my days are 12 hours, but I wouldn’t expect you to know that.

That’s something you volunteer for. I can’t really lump in all my time consuming non-work activities/hobbies as an extension of how much time I spend “working”
No, they are positions you apply for with a stipend. If you teach music/band, you will work with the marching band. The hours you put in will make sure that your stipend is is paying you roughly $3/hour. It’s a small incentive, if anything. These are not non-work activities. That suggestion is a complete joke. Tell a football coach that what he does is simply a ‘hobby’.

I’m not telling any teacher how to do their job. I’m sure it probably has plenty of challenges, more than I am even aware of. But thats every job that’s ever existed. I’m simply observing the self-congratulatory nature of many teachers and how they clamor for validation
Congrats, you know an annoying teacher.

You hit the nail on the head. It also seems to be something expressed much more by women. The top two offenders seem to be teachers and nurses. What do those two have in common?

That was merely a response to a particular post.

a sign in your yard that says "A Hero Lives Here." And these are pretty much all teachers and nurses.
Add EMS workers to the list of heroes w/ yard signs.

It’s close to a 20:1 basher to teacher ratio here. You’re not going to win (I say as I continue to post in this thread).

Indeed. And this kind of female-driven, politically-driven narcissism is just the tip of the societal spear. Imagine what the culture will be like when it is comprised of people who have no knowledge of traditional morality, temperance, stoicism, personal sacrifice, etc.-and only people who reward themselves based on the degree of their expressed narcissism. Talk to any mental health professional-Google Covert narcissism- and see how it is absolutely EXPLODING across our culture. We are getting sicker.

As I sit here on my patio sipping a cappuccino reading this crybaby thread...I want to tell you to SMD-but then I remember I'm still earning a check from my ISD.
...and you're fricking paying me.
