    Teachers need to just be okay with being exposed to illnesses and shooting scenarios on top of their already-chaotic careers and the crazy parents that come with them.

    Obviously without any other income or interests, never veer toward another possible path.

      Seriously, the way this country treats its teachers, it’s no wonder people grow up to be so stupid they’d be taken in by charlatans like Trump. You want to get rid of demagogues, you have to do a good job of teaching kids critical thinking skills, and you can’t do that without good teachers getting paid what they deserve in every school in the country. The first president we get that leads a big push for teachers funding, we’ll see pay off in dividends if it’s kept at.
