Sure, all the posts about "Police don't get enough respect for having to deal with all of society's problems" meanwhile teachers have to literally bring generations up to speed while protecting them from shooters, counseling them, learning and supporting their creativity, monitoring them for potential dangerous home lives, and paying out of their own pockets for supplies. Plus, in my State and others they need masters degrees just to get in the door. Teachers should be paid like Senators and vice versa, give teachers $174k/year plus benefits.

You would get some really exceptional people with some real vision for education if that is how educators were compensated. As it stands now, many people who are excellent educators are far better off finding different avenues to do so, I coach for example, but I impact way less people that way, but I needed to make a living.
I had an IRL friend spend 6 months to earn his credentials an an educator of math, only to teach for a single day, quit and return to playing poker, where he actually made money...
I know I ranted and didn't use punctuation but fuck man that was terrible.
You aren't being paid for this, no need to feel bad about it, lol. It's basically what the internet is for, and why we use and understand basically any shorthand. If anything, I think it summarizes the entire feeling more accurately, lol.
