    It is really sad how many people would trust teachers in a classroom with guns but not books.

    This is a really good point, but I feel like an English teacher would have written “whom I married.”

    I wonder how many students changed their minds about becoming teachers because of what’s been going on over the last few years.

      I mean - I know I decided against pursuing it many decades ago because it was the same then.

      We’re basically living in a poorer, angrier Reagan era.

      I’m not sure about that, but it has been clear for the past few decades then education funding in many areas of the country has dropped. Annoying paperwork and class sizes have gone up, resources have gone down. On average, it’s less appealing than it once was.

      They aren’t gullible and lazy. Neither Democrats nor Republicans are campaigning for their issues.

      One good example is Medicare for All, which is supported by a majority of voters, but not supported by Harris and Trump.
