possibly yes.
Im very aware of my own "irritations". I complain about complainers to a point I can annoy myself, because I know Im wasting my own time worrying about it.
If the govt invested enough money in our education system I may be a teacher myself. The lone outstanding term "you get what you pay for" applies exponentially here.
Its this country's future. We do the equivalent of the Salvation Army as far as what our govt puts into funding education. And we get what we pay for. Teachers who don't give a ****. The Josh is a GodSend compared to what the majority of our country's teachers should be. Most show up to work and care about their job (each student as an individual) about as much as my garbage guy does (nothing wrong with that ((PC buffer)) ).
.. and then we sit back and play dumb and wonder why some stranger at a school isn't turning our own children (country's future) into something most of us are incapable of creating ourselves.
I recall the day when I was growing up when school teachers were looked up to and and thought of as being smarter than the average adult because after all, they're teaching our children to potentially be BETTER than us because they're educated and have mastered the field they teach. But not anymore. Now we just hope the teachers just have the basics to teach our children the same basics. And today we defend incompetent teachers (the majority) with the same passion we used to defend competent teachers of years past.
We're SO focused on complaining today, that we completely lose focus on the reality of what we're really achieving collectively. An insanely low level of mediocrity. And all in the name of having my own personal POV being heard and applied. Even if its detrimental to my own childrens' growth. Because after all, I only care about me right??? ...
