Sounds like a very white, white-collar, wealthy family school district in the suburbs. Am I wrong?

Most public school teachers I know make far less than 100k/year. They work in cities. They buy school supplies for the kids using their own money, because the district doesn't have enough money for them. Underprivileged kids need devoted, well paid teachers too. These people teach for the love of it, and they should be compensated because it's a very hard job.
Its not uncommon in the NYC/NJ area for public teachers even in the inner city to earn what I was describing. The benefits alone are a huge work package. Also, my comments weren't meant to say that teachers don't deserve more...some of them do. I was just saying that signing up to be a teacher isn't consigning yourself to living below the poverty line with no chance of retirement while standing on a bread line...it just isn't. It's a fairly respected, job secure, pension guaranteed, summers off to earn how you please...and you get to work with kids doing something you love. That hardly sounds like a life of hardship to me compared to most.

Truth is it comes down to cybernetics and mass mind control of the population.

You really think the elite want a well educated population capable of thinking profoundly outside of their matrix reality? Most of the United States work their asses off just to put food on the table for their family. Outside of that they don't have time to think about the bigger picture or issues of the world.

Keep 'em uneducated (even the University level is pure indoctrination with little truth) and keep 'em over worked. Things will maintain the course.

Throw in some entertainment industry special ops who are paid in the millions (Hello football, baseball, reality tv, anything meant to distract and occupy the mind.) and it's almost perfect.

Now add in the military industrial complex which oversight has been drastically reduced since the 1940's and a scientific elite culture which not only leads said device but also leads popular public opinion. And you're there.

Cybernetics folks. They consider us nothing more than a means to an end i'm afraid.

Public school teachers make decent money, but boy do they need to earn it. Most parents dont even want to deal with their own kids for the day, can you imagine dealing with 30+ day after day. Exhausting.

Adjunct professors though at universities, that's where the poverty teaching is at.

People become teachers and cops and firemen because they have no real goal of what they want to do and then when they reap the benefits (or lack there of) they play the "noble public service" card to try to get a pity raise. If you want to make money get into business or sales or IT/Engineering

I would say police and firemen are more so this way. Both are low bar of entry professions that reward putting your life on the line. That’s why they pay decently, not because they are overly skilled. Teachers are different, they need education and it’s skilled. Most teachers I’ve encountered are whiny liberals. They make enough money to live comfortably. If you want to be able to reward the great teachers you need to remove unions.

when i lived in alaska i met a girl who joined the local volunteer firefighter team to get dick. i cant confirm if she got dicked down good or not, but she was involved in some lifesaving, then went on to become a county disaster manager helping hundreds of people in anchorage out of shitty situations, like terrible home fires that happen every week

she's living a good life, and it was all for chasing dick in/shortly after college. i think we live in a society if you ask me
