Seattle Teachers on Strike, 6 Figures and 3 Months Off a Year Not Enough

[Cardinal Carminative]

I don't mock either of them

Did you tell them:

Some of the laziest people I know are teachers.

Did you tell them:

No I never call them lazy to their face. Why would I do that?

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

Teachers have an important job but to say they contribute more to society than other careers is a falsehood.

Is that why you think they are so lazy?

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

No I never call them lazy to their face. Why would I do that?

Because you lack spine. Talking about people behind their back makes you a DOUCHEBAG.

A good teacher doesn't need a union representing them. There are some better paying jobs at private schools.

Methinks you could have used a better history teacher.

I only mention it on here. I never talk about that among friends and associates. Calling me a douchebag because of something I post on here shows just how immature you are.

You seem like you have an anger management problem. Can't you discuss this in a more civil way?

Sounds like you have never taught! Kudos on showing us your ignorance! It's refreshing to get the ignorant view.

Sounds like I read the article.
Besides that, I personally know 4 teachers now and in the past.
During the school year they indeed work pretty hard. Being a teacher is not a job, like other some other vocations, it is a lifestyle.
But they do have a lot of time off. Considerably more than traditional jobs. I use to work 10-11 hours a day and then always came in for a few hours to "catch up" over the weekend. Teachers do not have the corner on long hours. Difference is, they have a lot of off time over the course of a year. Other jobs do not.

That is the career they chose. I pursued a more lucrative career and have no regrets.

You do realize that the teaching career path has changed radically since 1996 when I first became a teacher. Hell, it has changed since I retired in 2018.

Teachers have long hours and shitty pay!

For 3 years, I arrived at school at 6:30 AM, taught all day, left at 4PM to go to my local university, attended class until 9 PM, and then drove home and graded homework until midnight. At that time, I was making less than $40K a year, plus paying for my expenses to attend college the GI Bill did not cover.

Total and complete bullshit!

We already know you are an asshole, so it would not be a stretch!

You worked hard at your profession and I applaud you for that but exceptional teachers and poor teachers get treated the same by the union. You might have had a more enjoyable experience teaching at a private school where the better teachers are compensated for exceptional work.

I don't have a union representing me and am well compensated.

You seem like you have an anger management problem. Can't you discuss this in a more civil way?

Maybe if you weren't calling them "lazy" we could.

But you seem to have an "ignorance problem". Can't we discuss this in a more educated way? Oh, sorry, not with you.

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

You really don't understand labor history do you?

Don't bother replying to me anymore if you can't be civil. Now go bother somebody else.

Working a ton of hours is bad for a person. It's not healthy and there's no satisfaction or pride in putting in 70 hours in a week. Workers are starting to wake up and it's going to get more dicey for employers to keep them happy. As it should be.

"Civil"??? You are one to talk, HYPOCRITE.

You don't go around calling teachers some of the laziest people you know and then get to bitch about others not being civil.
