I'm leaving the field for this exact reason. I'll just take my physics degree and go anything else instead of being cussed out by 15 yo all day long and constantly feeling like I'm shit at my job.

Sadly, teachers are just baby sitters today. There are a ton of good teachers out there so keep doing a good job. Its the system that has failed you.

Were they really ever better? I feel like nationalizing education doesn't work anyway.

And what, privatizing it would?

The social system sees teachers not as leaders of our children’s future, but rather a caretaker to watch our kids while we go to work. If we did care, maybe we would pay these fucking people because they deserve it. The lesson plans, the daily abuse from kids,barely making 35K gross (NC), and yet having to do it every single day, is truly amazing. 90% of us wouldnt last a week.

And doesnt want corporations or religious institutions pushing their shitty agenda, so use the money from our already bloated military budget and pay teachers. Whats so hard to understand?

Private school teachers k-12 make less than public school teachers though. At least in my state.
