Two biggest groups of assholes in the world: cops and teachers.

As I've worked most of my life in schools, and am married to a teacher I realize I have a bias, but some teachers do try their best to help every possible student.

I can't count the evenings we've discussed certain cases and how to approach them.

We've been lucky in that we've mostly had the same students, as I worked with them as they were younger and when they switched up my wife got them.

We did work in special ed. though, focusing mostly on autism, so we've seen a lot of bad situations throughout the years, but I wouldn't go blaming only teachers for that. There are also administrators, headmasters, outside influences and last but not least the parents that all play a role in every students education.

Then again this isn't the US and I know how things look there in the educational sector, so your mileage may vary.

I'm not in the US; I'm French.

Teachers are the biggest losers ever. They enable bullying because they either don't care or enjoy it (and a lot of times actively encourage it), they never admit to any wrongdoing ever, and worst of all do all of this for barely above minimum wage yet somehow are proud of their job.

What the fuck?

French teachers are paid around 2000€/month, so not quite minimum wage (which is at 1766€), but still insultingly low for a job that requires 5 years of higher education.

I was responding to the phrasing that seemingly implied that they should not be proud of their jobs because it doesn't pay well
