Silly peasant! You're thinking of what's good for society rather than what's good for the haves! (100)

Stop joking. This is serious. (-13)

What could possibly be more valuable than educating the next generation? No, that value doesn't make itself known within a quarter, but having an educated populace pays dividends. Unless of course the ruling elite actually want a bunch of dumb slaves, which it certainly seems like they do. (440)

Teacher salaries are determined locally. Only 17 states have state-wide pay schedules for teachers, and those only specify minimums.Blaming a "ruling elite" when this is a local issue just makes you look unserious. (-14)

They were still teaching from home.  Pivoting to online learning was a learning process for everyone.  The teachers didn't frick over anyone.  Our frickin society did by not prioritizing good ventilation in buildings and universal healthcare and providing paid leave and leaving parents having to try to manage their remote learning students at the same time as full time jobs.  If you think online learning was bad wait for the impact of a spike of disabled people due to long COVID.   (13)

The teachers unions refused to work in 2021.  The online learning was bullshit and it negativity impacted poor kids who didn't have rich WFH parents to baby sit then.  My 3rd grader had online classes. Ridiculous (-13)

While I agree that online learning isn't ideal for most age groups, neither is asking people to risk their lives and health because people send their sick kids to school because there is no mandated paid sick leave in the US. It would have been easier to return to in person learning if schools had upgraded their ventilation systems and installed air filtration, and legislation was passed to mandated that people are paid to stay home when they are sick or have sick children to care for (working from home if possible) Spreading disease does not increase productivity, and no one does a good job when they are hopped up on OTC drugs to keep themselves standing upright. This whole situation was a disaster of our own making, because people need money to pay bills, their employers do not pay them and they put their jobs at risk if they call out sick, and people who have children with no stay at home parent or nearby retired family or friends who are OK with watching sick kids (which pre c...

I know money doesn't grow on trees, but i made this same argument for police officers.If all of a sudden we said police officers in major cities will make, idk, 250k a year (for shits & gigs argument sake)... well heck, i bet all of a sudden we wouldn't have such a shortage. You'd create a ton of competition. Only the best of the best would graduate the academy, and you could hand pick the top candidates. You could weed out the pigs, the ones that shoot at acorns, or the tiny female that resorts to tazer'ing some big burly dude bc she knows she couldn't physically thwart potentially dangerous advances if it came to that. All of a sudden people aren't leaving an extremely dangerous job bc the money is good, so you can then train the next crop much better on dealing/interacting with all sorts of situations.But alas, once again, the money has to come from somewhere, even if it is for the people teaching our youth or the people will call for help.

Police officer is less dangerous than pizza delivery. Cops are already very highly paid and well-protected for little education or skill. The butthole that murdered Daniel Shaver gets paid for the rest of his life because of the 'stress' he got... from murdering an unarmed kid lying on his stomach.I'm all for increasing pay, decreasing their responsibilities, as long as we also drastically reduce the size of departments and outsourcing the shit that doesn't require a dude with a badge and a gun to social workers and qualified individuals. Cops end up doing tons of shit that really doesn't need to fall on them. And mandatory bodycams, they reduce complaints two-fold, both false complaints, and real violations, because everyone knows it's being recorded. (11)

What a fricking brain dead take! Teachers absolutely need to be paid more.It's not glorified babysitting. It's not liberal indoctrination.It's trying to get students to do the bare minimum needed to be a successful individual in this society. When parents don't help, when administrators always side with these same parents, and when society at large treats your job like a fricking joke. That's where the shitty brain dead takes come from.We need to be paid our fricking worth, BEFORE getting a masters degree! A fricking cashier at a Buc-ee's will be making more than a first and second year teacher before they earn their masters. A FRICKING CASHIER. Higher salaries will not cause inflation, where is the logic there anyway?! Pay teachers for their time, effort, compassion, and patience with dealing with the children Y'ALL failed to parent properly. It is not a teachers job to raise a kid, babysit them or even do more than just educate them! This take can only be made by someone who sees teach... (1)
