May 9, 2001? World Teachers’ Day is held annually on 5 October to celebrate all teachers around the globe. I’m grateful for and fondly remember many of my teachers, from first grade on. Many of my friends were teachers at one point who left because they could make so much more elsewhere.
Lennie had zero inkling of how exponentially worse this situation would be a scant two decades hence.
Republicans intend for teachers grades 1-8 to walk to and from one room schoolhouses and only teach just enough arithmetic for their students to graduate eighth grade barely capable of comprehending a monthly bank statement, and only able to read well enough to follow along with 7 hours or so of Bible study six days a week, fifty or so weeks a year.
The highest performing students will be selected (somehow) to advance to higher course work for business interest purposes only, including medical. Maybe some exceptions for military necessity.
The teacher’s will only receive minimum wage, and that only until Republicans repeal minimum wage legislation.
Then their compensation will be decided by the wealthiest cohort of plutocratic elites who also make every other societal decision before passing same along to clergy to disseminate to their flocks.

What teachers appreciate the most is mothers/fathers who help. What they hate the most is helicopter mothers/fathers.

Everyone will belong to some clergy’s flock.
Or else.
