      Yeah, of course there are. But between hope and my own experience as an educator, I have to believe they’re not the majority. These salty fucks typically burn out hard and fast, or they were already like 2 years from retirement when they start going nuclear like this.

      On Reddit, it’s almost always some dude like this one who sees an unusually high salary for the region at an underserved urban school and then gets mad when their (typically Authoritarian) classroom management style doesn’t end up working.

      Yes, they exist.

      Had a bunch of them in elementary.

      It was also the height of neoliberal educational policy, so oppressive teachers + pushing competition between students were the norm…

        Definitely not the majority, but in my experience, it’s very difficult to change even when a situation is out of control.
