    Conservatives hate teachers because teachers don’t need to work when kids aren’t in school for the summer. That’s the only complaint I’ve ever truly heard from them. Meanwhile, those same teachers are up stupid early, on time every fucking day, dealing with over-filled classes of every type of child, and then doing even more labour in the evenings as they aren’t officially given much of any time to create plans or mark work.

      They also do work during the summer, making lesson plans, teaching summer school, working a second job, etc.

      But if Republicans made policy decisions based on reality they wouldn’t be Republicans.

        They’re not detached from reality; they work on behalf of the Epstein class the most aggressively to keep the working class desperate and divided.

        They just don’t care about “reality,” they want to inflict maximum pain.

      Their pay is insanely low as well, and they can either not get paid for summer, or take their pay even lower per month to cover summer too

      There’s plenty more that they complain about with teachers. They complain that they are ineffective, promote progressive ideals, target their children’s shitty behavior, aren’t held accountable, and the whole “those who can’t do, teach” bullshit.

      I used to be a teacher. I’ve seen it all, heard it all.

      Conservatives hate teachers because they educate the masses and an educated populace doesn’t vote Republican.

      Since COVID some Conservative people I know have become like those animals that can’t comprehend things that didn’t happen right in front of them.

      My kid is a teacher (in Canada so they are paid really well). But its solely on them to develop all the lessons and gather everything needed. They are working to do this after hours and weekends.

        In the USA we’re indoctrinated in schools. Faje history and other b.s. Im not maga or republican but I also cant side with more bullshit from schools that dont actually teach. Glad you guys up north get it. Teachers matter even if they are doing the work of multiple people. At least you get paid.
