Reply to comment by MTGBruhs in CT schools see continuing rise in chronic absenteeism by ctmirror

You literally know nothing about what it's like being a teacher or how much work they had to put in throughout the pandemic on top of the incredible workload they already have. Stop making gross generalizations that you aren't qualified to speak on. Source: I live with a teacher

Could've stopped after "literally know nothing." This guy is just regurgitating dumb tropes and obviously has no knowledge of the actual situation in the classroom.

I have teachers in my family also. The one's I know work hard. I'm sure the teachers you know work hard too. We both know there are teachers that do not work hard. I have no problem with a teacher if they are working hard but let's face it, the American education system puts them up against it. Not enough pay, too many students, poor conditions in the classroom etc. Then put on top of that having to teach kids who aren't even in the same room as you. The pandemic has drastically put both students and teachers behind the 8-ball when it comes to quality education and many are chosing to check out. That should come as no suprize, because school is bullshit in the first place, most of the current American cirriculum can be learned on youtube faster and better in most cases
