Leave it to public school teachers to be dramatic af.
Maybe if we were given an iota of respect and paid more than 50% of what engineers are paid, we wouldn’t have to be.
Maybe, if they want to be paid more, then they should be engineers? Take really hard classes in school for four years, operate under very strict project timelines, and and spend all day on CAD? instead of, y'know, spending all their time with kids, and getting 2 weeks off at Christmas + the summer, and having virtually no accountability in their positions?
Spoken like a true non-educator with no idea of the hoops to jump through to get credentialed, nor to stay credentialed, or dealing with everything else. Truly remarkable.
