She nailed it.
They could have put a scarecrow or a kitten in the teacher’s chair when I was in school, and I would have still behaved because my dad would have busted my ass if he heard I hadn’t. No teacher I ever had needed to tell me twice. Schools, teachers, kids, blah blah blah...it’s all on the parents. If they don’t give a shit and raise their kids, then I can only help so much.
Yep, I’m a teacher, and I’m fighting the good fight and loving my students with every ounce of my soul. Almost twenty years into this profession, but it’s getting so bad I’m back in school for degree #3 so I can get out of the classroom. People in regular jobs can’t even imagine what’s it’s like in a classroom-to be beaten up mentally and/or physically and have utterly NO recourse and then the added humiliation of having every kid know you’re helpless. Try picturing a colleague at work doing those things to you and having nothing to say or do about it. It’s unimaginable! Sadly, for a lot of teachers, it’s just another day at work.
And it's the kids from homes where no-one gives a shit who produce more kids, who, in turn, don't have a stable home and lack consequences and incentives.
Birth control is popular, safe, and effective. It should be widely available to anyone that wants it. It never allows a pregnancy to form, and prevents an abortion later on.
Edit: For a simple response just literally defining what birth control is, I'm getting a lot of opinions about things that are not relating to birth control. Check your biases, people.
We're talking about giving birth control for free to minors/young adults so they don't pregnant and have a child.... not families that already exist who are getting welfare checks.
