Birds on the Brain

We are at a point at which teachers are clearly seen as the biggest assholes in the world who should be happy to work in terrible conditions and be willing to be fired when kids don’t thrive in that environment. I could never have imagined that when I was a kid. Seriously, teachers used to be considered the backbone of our culture and one of the foundations of the middle class. Now they are “retrograde and ridiculous” according to the privileged chattering classes who can’t even be bothered to inform themselves of the real issues.
