you barely need a degree to be a teacher in the united states
In most cases of actual teachers in the government run, public school setting, who were trained as teachers, they end up having to get a Masters degree and additional continuing education for as long as they remain a teacher. However, they are desperately under-paid and under-supported.
Once you get into private schools, especially those that are run by churches, all bets are off. This is just one of the many reasons that not even a single dollar of taxpayer money should be going to charter/private schools.
You also have stupid places that let anyone with some random skill teach with the belief they have the capacity to be a teacher and that's just not true. Teaching is actually a very specialized skill that most people simply don't have. You can be a brilliant mathematician and a horrible teacher. You may be the world's best welder (with all of the requisite knowledge of metallurgy, engineering, safety, etc.) and be a horrible teacher.
If you're going to bad-mouth teachers, then please be more specific than just a lazy trope. Another urban legend that needs to go away is the idea that teachers only work 9 months out of the year.
Like all meaningful change, you have to convince enough people to get involved and to do so more often and consistently than every four years at the Presidential general election. It's this belief that the change is going to come from the parties that is the core problem. Everyone complains about having to vote for the lesser of two evils, but then they do it and go back to sleep for another four years. At best, they just gripe about the government never acknowledging that they are responsible.
Agree with the philosophy, but stupid that she's running for president. Until/unless we change FPTP voting the only the Democrat and Republican running even matter and if you don't explicitly vote for the one then your are implicitly voting for the other.
Don't be obtuse. Either the Democrat or the Republican is going to win. Those are the only two you get to choose from at the moment. You have to start long before the general election if you want to change that reality.
They are both unacceptable evil, period. T
Then don't vote at all or vote third party, but know that by doing so you've supported Trump. You will be personally responsible for Trump winning. Sleep tight.
Don't bother replying if you are just going to continue parroting the Russian propaganda.
Are the Russian Trolls in the room with us?
Probably...
If you don't like the FPTP voting, do something about that. If you don't like voting for the lesser of two evils, do something about it besides waiting until that is the only choice.
Fact 1: Right now, your only choice is to vote for the lesser of the two evils, unless you want to help the worse of two evils.
Fact 2: Harris is, by a very large margin, the lesser of the two evils.
Fact 3: Your 'messaging' is helping Trump
Do with the facts what you will, but know that the messaging of "the Russian trolls" is to do anything possible to diminish support for Harris either directly or indirectly. Like it or not, you are "on message" with those who would choose to see Trump win.
