Tired of stupid people teaching your kids?
PAY MORE FUCKING MONEY.
I used to teach elementary. My first year I made $23,000. I qualified for government cheese and food stamps, fuck you very much.
I was a professional. I graduated from college with an English degree and then had two more years of teacher education. I was constantly taking teacher education classes. I worked 70 hour weeks and still didn't get everything done that I wanted to.
I harmed relationships with family and friends due to my workload. I had 32 students and did not want anyone to fall through the cracks.
I constantly fought with parents that thought their kids were special and deserved special treatment. I was threatened with violence and law suits. I had a parent show up to a conference with a fucking lawyer.
The administration was on my shit every day to teach to the standardized test. I had to shut my door and hide so my boss wouldn't know that we were actually learning, instead of learning how to game the test.
I was exactly who you wanted teaching your kids. I worked my ass off and paid attention to everyone.
Like most other new teachers, I couldn't take it after 6 years. I walked away. I had friends who were bartenders making more money than me and only working 25 hours a week.
Fuck That Shit.
I realized that it isn't my battle. I was losing too much of my life to be paid so little.
I took another job for more money and less work. I spend more time with family and friends.
The only way I could teach was to put everything I had into it. If I put everything into something, I want to be paid.
So, people like me quit. If you are talented and teaching, you will recognize at some point that you can make money anywhere.
Some very talented people stay in education, but most leave to go work in a field where there talents are fairly compensated.
That is why you get some crazy cat lady that wears ugly sweaters teaching your children.
