I for the most part agree Flint. Though I would add that it's likely a passive movement. I don't think 99% of those in education choose to suck
Rather they are velocitized by the system. Heck I've said it many times here, good luck. It's simply taboo to suggest poor performance from anyone in education or other "public service" for that matter. Guess what....not all teachers just want to help kids, not all cops want to make the streets safer and not all firemen are selfless heroes. Unbelievable I know! But given my druthers I'll tip a few with the FD and PD
Oh, Expat....if that is really how you approach your job then kudos you are the prototype! In my many years in public education I did not know ONE single teacher that did what you say on anything near a regular basis. Most were closer to the exact opposite.
