stan teachers unions - Lemmy Cafe
and reminder that the opportunity cost of a few days’ strike is far outweighed
by teachers being overworked to the bone without adequate compensation or
psychological support, resulting in the best teachers weeding themselves out of
the field altogether. anti-union sentiment is hurting kids.
Teachers in America are paid and treated like absolutely noone cares about them. Without them, prisons would be even more overpopulated, the wealth gap would be a wealth chasm, events of bigotry would skyrocket, parents would have to pay for daycare, children would go without lunch, etc. Honestly I have a hard time imagining anything in this shithole getting significantly better without improving funding for teachers and schools. However, I think that’s the exact reason they aren’t funded-better.
You mean everything you mention isn’t already happening in multiple states?
love forcing words into another’s mouth, it’s my favorite thing to do online
“Without them” implied that with them (status quo) the consequences listed would not be occurring.
goodness gracious. every phrase following “without them” was a phrase describing a growth scenario of something that already exists:
- “would be even more overpopulated”
- “would skyrocket”
- “wealth gap” -> “wealth chasm”
…implying that with the status quo the consequences listed would still be occurring, but stating that without teachers it would be _worse. please. ohmygosh.
without teachers reading comprehension would dive out of control but it’s already pretty bad. 😪😪😪
How about
parents would have to pay for daycare, children would go without lunch, etc.
? Are parents not already forced to pay for daycare, children not already going without lunch?
bruh. okay nitpick their grammar then instead of saying
you mean everything (emphasis mine) you mention isn’t already happening in multiple states?
Shipmate, I’m pointing out that the system as it already stands is pretty much exactly as shit as they say it would become should the situation change. Each attempt to merely increase wages here and there is like putting a bandage on a gangrenous wound or a tumor, instead of realizing that the tumor itself needs to be surgically removed for all these symptoms - the American prison system, for-profit childcare, normalized hunger as a punishment for poverty and so on - to be actually treated. Believe it or not, I’m on your side.
