      There’s also the issue of hyper-individualistic US culture isolating us from our communities and neighbors, who used to be involved in raising children, lifting some of the strain off of parents. “It takes a village to raise a child” is incredibly true.

Because we love knowledge get prepared, study, pay for extra education, get picked apart by admin, still have hope and see potential in future generations....and our students and parents don't see how much we care. Teachers invest so much and 2-3 students destroy the gift within seconds. Then the vicious cycle of "self improvement plan" micro managed by admin takes over and the teacher is out of work..takes about 1-4 semesters to kill a spirit of a teacher.

      @sexy monkey We speak English, not French. There is no central authority regulating our language, it evolves constantly, and as such prescriptivism makes absolutely no sense. Words mean what people intend them to mean, and every English language dictionary reflects this by defining words as they're actually used. As a thought exercise, I recommend you go read something written in English from, for instance, the turn of the 20th century. You'll find all sorts of words used differently than how they're commonly used now. Ask yourself, how did those meanings change?
      If you'd like to speak a language regulated by a central authority, plenty exist, but English has never been and never will be one of them.

      TV gets teaching wrong a lot. Teachers are either humorless boring automatons, so over involved with their students it would likely get them fired (seen some shows/movies where they even let a student live with them or take them home), or Dead Poet Society knockoffs. Rarely see some of the true hurdles of being a teacher like the generation gap, students you have to be nice to even though you want to go full 1940s teacher on and paddle them, students you see making major easily avoidable mistakes but cant change, students suffering but you cant help without breaking some school rule, or trying to act professional even when you have no idea what to do. Kind of random but I always wonder how some teachers handle things like 9/11 or similar tragedies/major events, cant be easy especially when you're just as lost as the students.

    I was in a parent teacher meeting with my son where the assistant principal said and I quote " kids behavior issues could have to do with moon phases that were going on these days" My son's teachers started looking down and up at the ceiling. My wife spoke up to break the silence in the room and changed the subject. We have been laughing at that one for years....

All I can say is, if you have never seen this kind of behavior, and you have never seen teachers completely dehumanized in this way, then count yourself lucky. It means you've never had to see this abuse first hand. Her humor here is coming from stuff she had to go through, or things people she knows have gone through.

My favorite part was her bit about teachers carrying guns: "There are people around who whole heartedly believe I should carry a gun at work. I'll be the first one to tell you I should not. I know a lot of teachers, I don't know any who want guns, I know a lot who want markers, you know? If I get a school-issued glock, and I'm still buying my own pencils, I'm taking that gun, I'm holding up a Staples. I'm getting the sh*t I need to do my job!"
