    Teaching is a noble profession. People will do it for minimal compensation.

    This is among the dumbest things that I regularly hear.

    I’ve also heard that kids will work in mines for minimal compensation because it’s so noble.

    Moral bullshit in service to capitalist oppression.

    Trading your soul and being asked to commit atrocities on the cheap is a hard sell.

    It’s a very easy sell for fascists without a soul. It’s literally what they’ve been organizing for. It’s a fundamental platform of their daddy.

      Adults have more agency than children. We know teachers will work for less because they do. We also know some adults take advantage of children, because they do. They arent related.
