In most of Eastern Europe countries teachers had lower salaries than average as far as we remember - ie at least since WWII. It's expected for most of us here. But that wasn't my point.

The point was that you can't compensate all this bullshit with money. OK, you might find some people who can do anything for money, but not so many you can fill all positions in public education system.



30 years ago teachers were respected and parents trusted teachers with their kids.

If the kid was misbehaving in class or getting bad grades -> was properly managed by parents.

Right now parents are delusional about their kids. Blame teachers if something is wrong with the kid.

Cant understand that most likely they are the issue why the kid is behaving this way.

Dont want to take the blame.

At least those are my obesrvations - my mom was a teacher with 40 years of experience and national wide fame.


Like other people in this thread I've had the idea of retiring early and having a second career as a teacher.

What if I did that, and then just refused to take any of that shit? Are teachers rare enough that I wouldn't get fired?


You could lose your rights to teach for many years as teachers are supervised by independent curatory system.

If you get blamed a lot you can also get a court case.

You are on a lose-lose position as a teacher.
