With all the lockdown / home-schooling, my (probably misplaced) hope would be that teaching, as a career, is given more respect and the earning capacity that goes with the recognition of how important teaching is to the general functioning of society. Teachers raise our kids for fucks sake. Knuckleheads, and there are plenty, will bring them down, and that affects the whole of society for a long time. Attracting better quality teachers raises all boats. But then Nursing, that also needs more respect for the shit, often literally, they face day in day out. Police, fuck, if you can't trust them to do the right thing, then what's the fucking point in the first place?. Get the right people, and the people right. Paying peanuts gets monkeys, and monkeys throw shit everywhere. I'm overpaid for what I do and it's effect on society. I'm hoping that the pandemic will cause at least somewhat of an adjustment, but my world-wise cynicism leans towards further adjustment in the wrong direction.
