Sometimes, the parents forget to pick up the kids so the teachers get to decide if they leave a child all alone with no help or if the teacher works unpaid over time
Greatest country in the world...
Here if parents don't show up, teacher have to call the police to pick the kid (it almost happened to me as I was 5 min late)
I work in child care and the regulations behind this are fucked. There's no gray area and staff risks prison time for not following them. I get how these laws and regulations get implemented. Even "good parents" will think it's completely reasonable to be late to pick up your children. Once in a while isn't a problem but when you are in charge of hundreds of kids and too many parents have that mentality it creates a cascade of issues for staff. (child care works have lives too) so please contact the school/facility if you are going to be late and don't be late constantly.
Here the kids just walked or cycled home. Bus if you lived further away or didn't wanna cycle in the winter. But I grew up in a small town in Estonia in the 00s. It may have been literally feared at the time by people not from our town, but generally nobody would hurt a 7 year old and even once you got older, usually people's beefs were with kids from the other towns nearby, not locals.
No. Bullshit. When I got cut loose from 70s-80s elementary I was on my fucking own. We could walk, ride, skate, whatever. We did not require a fucking adult to care for us. Bell rings? GTFO! BYE!
Idk maybe teachers these days care idk
oh, they definitely don't care about the kids. They care about getting arrested or sued.
Oh yea dude, people doing thankless low paying jobs that require the same education as jobs that pay much better are sooooo greedy and not at all passionate.
I got screwed at every step of my education. The passion gets ground out of them without them realizing.
Oh no, they're aware. They're especially aware of the clueless people blaming them for not getting blood from stone.
I got lied to about my placement tests for no one's gain. I got stone walled and gaslighted every time I tried improving my situation.
The most passion I ever heard from a teacher the was a rightwing asshole in my civics class when he was complaining about immigrants or welfare queens. My science teacher had to be asked directly about climate change for him to utter his take on that.
Ah yes my dude. Your anecdotes totally change the facts that teachers do tons of unpaid work, buy classroom supplies themselves to give kids a better education, and constantly are in fights to stop their schools from adding new ridiculous policies.
I had a friend who tried sticking up for his students when the school's Zero Tolerance Drug Policy(tm) meant that they couldn't carry epipens around them. The Principal's defense when he was told he was he was going to get sued for a wrongful death was "I've been sued before". My friend was let go the following year and didn't have the energy to sue.
Considering the overall state of the US, I don't think my anecdotes are exactly exceptions. Everything I've feared would happen is happening.
You are literally now listing an example of a teacher sticking their neck out for their students yet still running with this notion that they aren't passionate and don't care.
You can't help but blame the wrong people, and thats insane to me.
They aren't a teacher anymore. The system crushed him and he left.
