Few professions discredited themselves as much as teachers over the pandemic. Spent a good 2 years in many places screaming "We aren't essential, shut the schools!" never mind the impact on the kids.

My view on teachers not wanting to hang about or even leaving the job is that I would too if I was them.

Why stay in the plague pit for approximately minimum wage and the abuse they were copping from parents? They aren’t paid enough to care, but for some reason, most do. Parents were calling teachers from early in the morning until late at night, 7 days a week and wanted remote parenting over Skype.

I’ve been trying to talk my wife out of being a teacher, and the reasons pre-date covid.

Like I said, no profession has done as much to discredit their importance during the pandemic as teachers. Where im at the effect students has been catastrophic and still they endlessly bitch.
