Yes, there was a PAC formed with the 3 leftist candidates that had people out there all election day waving their flyers and saying 'teacher endorsed candidates'! And people snapping them up. It's a lie. Conservative teachers are heading for the exits at an alarming rate and not all of them endorsed these 3 lefties. But people don't dig deep enough.
I am so tired of “support the teachers” claptrap. So many of them are clueless that they are being used and manipulated. They earnestly buy the whole propaganda garbage about inclusion and kids feeling safe blah blah blah. Their inability to see through all this has made my already not very positive opinion of many teachers go even lower.
I also get tired of them saying they are underpaid. Lots of people with a college degree make less. They get at least part of the summer off, and at least here, they can retire after 30 years with a full pension. How many people have pensions any more?! Was talking about this with our CPA when we were getting our taxes done, and he said those on a pension make $60-$70K a year! And generally retire in their 50's and then get a different job, so they are making 2 incomes.
Oh yes I agree. It may be true in places where the cost of living is high, but the teachers I know all live in very nice houses, drive newer cars, go on vacation two or three times a year, and go out to eat regularly. Plus they always say they work during the summer but that is mostly just a day or two here and there and I never see anyone post about working during breaks, they are always out having fun. They also get lots of extra discounts in many places. I don’t think their jobs are always easy, especially with kids’ and parents’ attitudes nowadays, but I am really over the whining.

But woe to anyone who posts remarks like ours on social media. They attack like a horde of locusts. Another reason I tend not to be very sympathetic.
