Apart from anything else, why should teachers have to buy the tools to do their job?

[-] red_rising@lemmy.world 77 points 6 months ago

Because for decades teaching has been marketed as ‘a calling’ not a job. People say things like, ‘teachers do what they have to’ or ‘no one goes into teaching for the money’ or ‘you might be the only person in some of these kids lives that care for them.’ These kind of phrases allow higher ups to continually slash teaching budgets while convincing teachers that they must fill the shortfall because of they don’t, who will? It’s bullshit.

People are in for a rude awakening after republicans get rid of public schools. You think buying your own supplies is expensive — wait until you get the bill for going to private school.

Soon, an editorial headline:

Americans' bills are piling up; could chattel children be the answer?

The children, they yearn for the mines.

It's because Republicans really like the unwashed masses they're easier to manipulate.

Don't worry, we'll all be too busy reacting to actually take the time to reflect and learn something.

Much like nurses in the U.K., and their current pay battles. There are even former nurses saying “they should do it for the love of the job”.
