It’s been a stereotype for at least the last 50 years. Why has this never changed? Why has organized labor not had a substantial effect for such an essential part of the workforce?

    I can’t recall ever having shitty teachers in public schools up until uni. In fact, I got amazing teachers who cared and sometimes went above and beyond. None of them came to school drunk, save for one uni teacher who was also named the top surgeon in my city. 🤷‍♂️

      sounds like you went to school in a rich town. yeah, in rich towns they tend to be much better because they have better pay and/or they don’t really need the money. a know a couple of millionaires who are teachers, but at that point it’s just volunteer work for them. they aren’t living off the salary.

        No, I never lived in a rich town. lol I find it odd you assume that. And mind you, this was in 6 different states between the US and Mexico.
