This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I've had awesome teachers. I've had just as many really shitty teachers though. And lots of simply mediocre. I totally support higher wages for teachers, but honestly less in sympathy for today's teachers and more to make it a viable career choice and attract some actual professionals. So many teachers seem to only want the job for the authority (over kids? I don't get it), and only get it because the school district is desperate.

I don't know if raising wages would fix the problem, I just know that it would increase the pool of applicants, allowing the school district to be more selective.

So higher wages, better working conditions, and in exchange maybe be held to a higher standard of professionalism?

That would never work!!!!!111111
