Now we are going back many, many, many years. She couldn't get hired in public schools as a Math teacher so instead she taught in the Catholic private schools all her life as a Math teacher. I wouldn't call her a Republican or a Democrat, she usually prefers to not vote and stays out of politics. She has retired from teaching.
She warned me and other relatives who failed to get hired in public schools that teaching is not this high indemand job where they need all kinds of teachers. She had specifically warned me when I was getting my Master's that this was all a lie, they don't need teachers and in fact a lot of schools fire teachers to cut costs. I fell for what I read in the newspaper and read in the news ... how high a demand their was for teachers and how easily you would get hired. 6 years of searching, a lot of interviews and rejections. I went into Healthcare instead making more money now actually than I would if I was lucky enough to land a teaching job.
It's when I see clowns like the one posted get hired as teachers I get so irked. How hard I worked and others I know who worked to become teachers, but failed and instead had to go in other professions: Nursing, Healthcare, Business, Accounting, Truck Driving, etc.
