Teachers are among the worst treated working people in the country while police enjoy unbelievable benefits not afforded to anyone else.
A major difference is that police often evade consequences for very bad decisions, and teachers often don't and for much more benign things.
There are virtually no jobs in this country where you cannot be fired for being rude. Just being rude! I don’t mean violating someone’s rights, just being rude.
Every single retail job matches your description of moderating 4chan at times. Every single customer-facing service worker is required to have higher emotional intelligence than this cop in order to keep their job.
Police can do virtually anything to you without consequence.
At any rate,this comparison is ridiculous and a false equivalencecy that could swap out nurses for teachers and hold your analogy.
I’m no saint; I work in tech for real money.
But the teachers I know -and I know many, of varying ages and tenures- overwhelmingly got into it because they wanted to make a difference in kids’ lives.
Do I know a few who were mainly into having summers off? Sure.
But even that doesn’t make that small subset ‘the worst in society’. Show me some actual data supporting it and I’ll consider your perspective, but in the absence of that I feel like it’s just plain despicable to shit on teachers like that.
