re: #105 palomino

Who the hell would want to become a public school teacher now? Not only do you see a shrinking salary (that wasn’t that big to begin with for someone with at least a 4 year college degree.) But now your profession has been demonized by the right. A society that devalues its teachers isn’t really moving in a constructive direction.

It wasn’t that long ago where the prevailing sentiment that I heard about teachers was that they should be receiving substantially higher salaries, but since everyone is more interested in getting re-elected rather than actually dealing with our problems, fuck it, let’s blame the teachers.
