    Are their any studies showing business lawyers for corporations tend to conservative or pretty satisfied with large inequality compared to lawyers whose clients are middle and lower class?

    Immigrant parents would like better qualified teachers so their kids won't be dumbass college dropouts who know uni names from football.

    Last time I checked, there are more teachers than doctors, lawyers or 125K+ corporates combined.

    Looking down on teachers and not figuring out how to boost and improve the system is pretty much lobotomizing your future and your nation's future.

    You essentially become a dead end zombie.

    I imagine many of the homeless you b**** about would probably have a better future with a few more good to great teachers.

    What’s the ethnicity and sex demographics of public school teachers ?

    Ask that question about doctors, lawyers, software engineers
    Etc
    @AroundTheWorld

    Move to San Francisco or Portland and rent a $3000 studio apartment and tell me about how great homeless folk are

    How does a nation train more doctors, lawyers, and software engineers...Watch MJ vids and fly off pixie dust to Never Never Land?

    I'd be more open to the idea that many cultures in the US doesn't support or value education that reinforces the backbone of a modern economy.

    Trashing teachers seem like shooting the messenger.

    Good point. Unless someone with no education strikes it rich, or everything they learned was self-taught, then education is key to any profession in life.

    Non-catholic christian religious ones were largely to started to subvert integration by citing dubious interpretations of scripture, secular ones almost as expensive as the colleges the parents are trying to get their kids into have had open baskets of free condoms in the infirmary since the early '90s. Ten or so years after the fact, both tend to have press releases and bulletins in the alumni newsletter announcing six- or seven-figure legal settlements over instances of molestation by unnamed faculty and seniors to unnamed students.

    Who’s trashing teachers ? Aren’t we talking about teacher unions?
    These aren’t college professors
    Just explaining to you the demographics

    I know the D&D is all about fake outrage and fake wokeness

    What’s the average height of the nba players today ?
    Where are the midgets ?
    There are no midgets in the nba

    you look at the demographics of teachers in unions and that will explain to you the answer

    how many dudes compared to women ?
    How many white folk compared to non white
    What universities do they go to?
    Do they teach in private or public schools ?

    is your 4th grade teacher from MIT ? Probably not bro

    Michael Jackson was great teacher breh

    All I’m saying is the demographics answers questions

    for example what’s the demographics of rockets fans who seat in the cheap seats vs the those sitting on the floor
    What is their occupation
    How old are they
    Which one of them has to stand in line for beer

    Don't play coy. You brought up public school teachers first.

    The discussion is on them.

    You're gonna have to connect the dots for me here. Don't be coy again and change the subject.

    I went to Dulles Middle school. Pending your demo thesis, I might or might not have Made It,

    Maybe Jacko wanted to be a kindergarten teacher, but wasn't qualified?

    That should be considered a high standard for you.

    Is tinman even a real person?

    Did Clutch implement a bot into the BBS. Is tinman a Turing test?

    Also I think this thread could use a heaping scoop of fellow educators @Os Trigonum @B-Bob @Carl Herrera @jiggyfly

    Anyone who ever disagrees with @fchowd0311 must be an alt account or a bot.

    But seriously is tinman a bot? That's like over a decade repeating the same jokes. It's kinda odd.
