It is own money

There own money

Our own money, comrade

Did I do that right?

gruelling job with little praise

So, you do expect it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel like shit. My high schoolers said all kinds of horrific nasty shit about me because I was clearly gay, including graphic and specific discussions about my supposed inability to pleasure a woman, which was stupid - but in any other context that would be considered a hostile workplace environment and wouldn’t be tolerated.

Now I mostly work with younger kids, and they do not have a filter. They say things that hurt. When they say those things, I can certainly acknowledge that they don’t have the level of empathy and compassion that an adult has, but that doesn’t mean it feels good.

Teaching and working with kids leads to emotional burnout. You can only handle those sorts of comments so much before it starts to fuck with you, especially if you lack a support system elsewhere.

We shouldn’t expect teachers to be Jesus. At least not when the pay is so shit that most have to have a second job (which also does not help on the burnout end).

tbh.. 3y is not something i would call old in this context ;)

Imagine all the valuable things you could've remembered instead.

That's your parents' fault.

I know right, it's "its".

Not only do they refer to the teacher as an it, they didn't even pay attention to the rules about apostrophes.

I don't think that's what they meant when they were asking for more inclusive speech XD

*I make that mistake too, English is my 2nd language

Elon could pay for pizza parties for every classroom on Earth with less impact on his finances than a penny is worth to that teacher. How fucked up we have become.

Bro, the parents at the school I taught at had the schools number blocked (if they had cell service at all) because they didn’t want to hear about their children beating the shit out of other children, or destroying school property, or smoking pot….

I had a pizza party once. I got paid $2200 a month and already spent at least $50 a month on supplies (kinda hard to teach chemistry if you don’t have chemicals…) I gave one of my class a pizza party, spent more than a hundred dollars.

Did any of them thank me? LOL. No, they complained because they could only have one slice.

Should spent pizza money grammar some lessons

look up the salaries of teachers in your district. they are publicly available as public employee salaries are publicly posted somewhere on the government website. see how they could probably earn more doing anything else? yeah.

it’s*
