- chadgpt3 4mo agothat's true about every job. Even computers were better when nerds ran them.
- qsera 4mo agoWhile true, not all jobs are equally critical in that regard. A bad programmer probably can be detected easily. But the effects of a generation of bad teachers might only show up after many decades!
- sethammons 4mo agoI left teaching and have, literally, 10x'd my annual income after a few years. While teaching, I couldn't afford to support my family of four. We don't need people stressing and struggling financially for the privilege of teaching our youth. That leaves those without a better option or have a working spouse.
- qsera 4mo agoSo that is why I said teachers should be compensated well but may be by other means than paying out a large sum as salary. For example, if you were able to get free education for your children as part of your payment, wouldn't that have made your life a lot easier?
