Thankfully lots of humanity isn’t like you

If only teachers fit this description you might have a point.

I don't think starting teachers complain that much. I think it's that their wages don't increase by the same factor that their job gets shittier year after year thanks to budget cuts, larger class sizes, more bureaucracy,etc.

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

In many places, teachers have taken pay cuts as well. Like, 2020 take-home salary is 5% smaller than it was in 2000. I mean, if they pull in 60k they aren't starving, unless they live in San Francisco or something, but I can understand why they'd be unhappy that their job is getting harder while simultaneously making the same or less money.

Threads like these explain a lot about the behavior of players on this server. Sad old people.

Should have clarified that you are talking about public school teachers.

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.

Teachers are kind of important in a society, used car salesmen are not

Hope this helps
