They are much heroes as anyone who does a hard job is a hero. It’s quite rationale to stay in a position and get paid in order to pay bills, manage life, etc.

- jml7c5 6y agoYou are missing an important part of their argument. They are saying that the teachers are heroes because they stay in a crappy job despite better options elsewhere. In other words, that they are sacrificing their happiness for the benefit of students.
- prepend 6y agoI think that’s romanticizing too much. They stay in the crappy job as much as many other crappy jobs that exist. It’s a living, it pays pretty decently. Perhaps they could get better jobs, but it’s silly to think there’s something especially heroic about teachers over tons of other professions. In this case it’s not really to the benefit of their students, so they are sacrificing their happiness in vain.
