I know a few people who are teachers, or related fields like librarians, and I would say they all are smart, hard working and care quite a bit about their students.
They are all underpaid and reaching the point of burnout of the entire system and they are only in their 30's.
I'm honestly concerned that we'll see education in the US quite literally falling apart as people willing to work in education effectively evaporate.
- etrautmann 4y agoThis tracks my experience as well.
- HEmanZ 4y ago(Totally unrelated to topic at hand) Do you consider librarians in the same category as teachers? They seem like completely different things to me. Like, I don’t really care if my local librarian thinks the world is flat and wants to tell everyone about it. Just keep the library well run and organized. I do care very much if the 3rd grade science teacher is a hardcore flat-earther.
- SauciestGNU 4y agoNot who you're replying to, and the circumstances are different, but at many university in the US, librarianships are a tenure-track professorial position. I believe that being a librarian is by all reasonable measures a type of teaching.
- tsgagnon 4y agoI would say that there is a lot of overlap. And at least in the US, a masters degree is required for most librarian positions (at least from what I remember, not sure if that's changed over the years).
