The vast majority of teachers in the US are Democrats now.
A lot of teachers are stupid and just "teach from the book", but they are worshiped by Democrats as some kind of sacred class, mostly because they've turned into a sort of Democrat base interest group. Plus, teachers are generally government employees, and government bureaucrats are as a rule left wing in the US now.
Most I find don't even teach from the book. I've known several who have openly admitted to me, they simply Google activity packs or use "resources for teachers" websites.. said websites have no education authority or oversight...
I'll be honest, if my teachers were this dumb when I was in school, I'd have said my pronouns where blackie and half-caste
Then sued every teacher using them because that's extremely racist language how could you say that to a child (crocodile tears it'd be my new piggy bank)
I genuinely wonder how many smartass kids have managed to get ligma/balls down as their official school pronouns. I will be disappointed if it's not at least 3 figures.
I identify as infallible gender and my pronouns are the infallible one/his infallibleness. If the teacher says I'm wrong or marks my test wrong, she is transphobic.
Those that can, do. Those that's can't, teach. Anyone who actually has knowledge and skills in their fields of expertise will be applying them, not wasting time teaching others about them. Teaching has long been a congregation of failures.
Intro to [Stem Field] courses are a major drain on modern academia, as genius spergs are forced to half-ass students' first experience in whatever major they chose. The teachers don't give the slightest of fucks about teaching, and the students are left flapping in the breeze, either overwhelmed from difficult work poorly explained, or given free A/Bs from an absentee professor.
True, but many of them do have the motherly quality needed in elementary schoolteachers. This is frequently more important than having the rudimentary knowledge needed to teach spelling or arithmetic or to illustrate the life-cycle of a pepper plant.
I've never trusted men who teach elementary grades.
Kids in school are not "kiddos" who need a mommy. They are students, they need educators. If they "frequently" need the "motherly qualities" you describe, and aren't even aware that pepper plants exist, there is something seriously wrong.
Which we all know. The whole thing is borked, and it's in no small part of exactly what you're describing as a good thing. Jaysus.
Kids in school are not "kiddos" who need a mommy. They are students, they need educators.
"Students" of the ages common in K-5th grade are children. Teachers serve "in loco parentis." Kids spend more time with teachers than with family, especially if both parents work.
Milk-and-cookies, sing-alongs, and nap-time are not scholarly pursuits, and no special knowledge is needed to teach kids the three Rs in K-5. At these ages, theoretical expertise in child psychology is no substitute for instinctively motherly qualities.
Who would you rather have consoling a child who scrapes his knee on the playground or gets glue squirted in her pencil-box? A scholar or a matron?
Jesus christ, you're advocating nap time, sing alongs, and milk and cookies as appropriate 5th grade activities over science and math? Fucking god, in 3rd grade I remember learning about stratocumulus clouds and times tables.
This is not "child psychology." This is arrested development and never-ending infantilization. K-5 is exactly when kids, if not deprived, develop their wonder with the world. They're not meant to be pampered like indoor cats, they're meant to be inspired, and to have their natural inquisitiveness bolstered by adults showing them that they have the ability to answer their own questions.
Even your example of "consoling a child with who scrapes his knee" is complete insanity, when combined with your completely bonkers suspicion of "non-motherly" teachers of children. The lady teacher says "ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?!?" a hundred times while the child explodes into tears and has to be sent to a safe space to cool down from his PTSD. The male teacher says "Alright? Not the end of the world. Shake it off sport and get back to it," and the kid learns a basic lesson about trucking on through (the slightest) adversity.
Your view of primary school education is exactly why we're as fucked as we are. You're advocating treating 10-year-olds like they're 2-year-olds.
All I can do at this point is laugh at you. You've literally said that cookies and milk is more important to a 10-year-old than learning about math and science.
I'm sorry you're so indoctrinated you see men enjoying working with kids and think "pedophile". That feminist line of thinking is why it went from a more even split to almost entirely women K-8.
Indoctrinated, my ass. I am in the process of shedding my social conditioning.
I, like many other Americans, spent 6 years in elementary school, and all my teachers were women. This is the basis of my opinion.
And, contrary to your hot take, I believe women are better suited to teaching children than men for the reason I state, not because I assume men teaching elementary school are pedophiles.
Men are not as capable of nurturing children as women are. With few exceptions, men cannot be "motherly," and this quality is suited for teaching kids in grades K-5 or 6.
You were taught faggotry, and now go on to spread faggotry. Not only are you not "shedding (your) social conditioning," it's so complete that you wrap yourself in it like a cozy comfort blanket. Public school is not your mom, dude.
Modern teaching isn't even teaching these days, it's getting children to "listen to the message" and regurgitate the correct words at the correct time. There's little to no critical thinking promoted because wrongthink is bad.
She missed a "teaching moment" (barf!) for failing to point out that "banana" and "rock" are not pronouns but nouns.
Of course she wouldn't know this, being an elementary school teacher--the majority of them are idiot ideologues and the rest are losers who can't get any other job, keeping their heads down hoping not to get discovered to be totally incompetent.
One of my based friends is going back to school to get a masters to teach math. I graduated 5 years ago from the same college (albeit for STEM degrees). The shit he sends into a group chat with me and my based friends daily is horrifying. I was very pessimistic about indoctrination in the education system but even I would not have thought it to be this bad. Cultish does not even begin to describe it.
For reference, this is a large state school in a state that leans red.
"I divide my officers into four classes as follows: the clever, the industrious, the lazy, and the stupid. Each officer always possesses two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrious I appoint to the General Staff. Use can under certain circumstances be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy qualifies for the highest leadership posts. He has the requisite and the mental clarity for difficult decisions. But whoever is stupid and industrious must be got rid of, for he is too dangerous." --Kurt von Hammerstein
Strange how she doesn't honor his pronouns when making this video, constantly referring to rock as "he/him"...
But hey, consistency is not something I would expect from the woke crowd in the first place.
Also no, you don't need above average intelligence to be a teacher. While they do go to university, they have way easier courses than the other people. Not to mention that you don't need to be intelligent to get a degree.

However could that have happened?
It doesn't matter whether the kids are making fun of you or not.
You deserve it for not hammering this nonsense into the dirt.
Yep, this is the logical conclusion of the pronouns game and, of course, kids got there first.
Banana/rock are exactly as legitimate as any other pronoun someone asks you to use other than those related to your biological sex.
The 'I sexually identify as an attack helicopter' joke got there first.
It was absolutely obvious where this shit would lead. The only people who told you it wouldn't were either useful idiots, or in on it.
This person graduated from college, has a job, gets a paycheck, probably votes, and goes to tiktok for life advice.
These people will not survive well the upcoming upheaval.
Victim of the Post apocalyptic Niall of Nine Hostages, you say?

My pronouns are deez/nuts.

Maybe the mistake was in making it a profession in and of itself, rather than as a retirement job for masters of other professions.

those who REALLY can't, are women

That’s modern brainwashing. You don’t need a “motherly” quality for schoolteachers.
OK Mr. Gradgrind.
Kids in school are not "kiddos" who need a mommy. They are students, they need educators. If they "frequently" need the "motherly qualities" you describe, and aren't even aware that pepper plants exist, there is something seriously wrong.

Why be so rude about it?
I pity your imaginary children. I'll bet you'd send them to military school.
We're talking about 5 to10-year-olds.
All I can do at this point is laugh at you. You've literally said that cookies and milk is more important to a 10-year-old than learning about math and science.
You're a fucking silly idiot.

Fuck you.
That's about the depth of your comment, so . . .
How do you think children should be taught, wise guy?
Calling Mr. Gradgrind!

You don't have to be smart to have a degree, you just have to not be lazy.

i'm leaning towards this being a joke. it doesn't have the smugness.
Totally the other way for me, this is giving me earnest brainwashed retard flavor.
Same here. She fits right into the liberal useful idiot category.
Best comment was exactly what I was thinking : “ imagine having a teacher that consults Tiktok for answers”
If middle teachers had above average intelligence, they would not be middle school teachers...
These days Teacher, is Groomer. No intelligence is required to be about animal feels and butt sexing monkes.
Strange how she doesn't honor his pronouns when making this video, constantly referring to rock as "he/him"...

You created this Frankenstein's monster. The destruction it will cause is by your hands.
