This anon gets it.
Wifeanon was a music "teacher" until covid. She never got a teaching degree and never did any of the offical schooling they put teachers through (except a few courses in college). She got the job due to a very specific need that the market was unable to fill with a "certified" teacher.
The children loved her more than any of the other teachers in the building.
The closet conservative teachers latched on to her and would confide in her how much they hated the system they were a part of.
The children won awards at music festivals and respected her more than any other teacher in the building.
All without a teaching degree.
The teaching degrees and the control system teachers are inside is terrifying. Most of them hate it but are so glued to the paycheck that they will never speak against it.
Teachers in Canada start at $50,000 and are in the six figures after about 15 years into their career, assuming they have gone to administration. If they stick it out for life at the teacher level they hit six figures after about 30 years and then retire at 60 with a kick ass pension and 10 years of sick days built up as extra pay… oh, and they stay on the substitute teacher list, ensuring its impossible for new graduates to get in their club.
Would someone mind explaining the blacked out text? What purpose does it serve to black out text on this board?
