    Stupidly pedantic.

    Why don’t you just add every single expense incurred in their life to your list?

        Oh please, shit like “tutoring costs” or “cost to eat” are entirely disingenuous - ones some trust fund shit, and the other ignores the fact that children not in school still have feeding costs, for the actual few core things transport/supplies/etc. any developed nation will have a means of access for those who need it.

          Now explain how you’re so stupid, likely from American public school education, that you can’t tell the difference between childcare, a simple babysitter watching your toddler for four hours, and everything teachers do separate from those things.

          Imbecile.

            He didn’t argue that. From here it seems like your own education was lacking reading comprehension.

              Them:

              The reason Teachers always lose their fight, and I was just made aware by this realization during the COVID pandemic, is that the teachers, real main job, what they’re truly, at the basic of levels, are hired to do, is babysit children

              Me: Teachers aren’t babysitters, numbnuts.

              You: “you CaNt ReAd GoOd”

                It’s amazing that you read that exact sentence and aren’t able to read between the lines that clearly he recognizes that teachers have normal teaching responsibilities, but that to the average parent who cannot be bothered to show up for parent teacher meetings to actually show concern for what the kids are learning, teachers are just glorified babysitters that are paid for with their taxes. I stand by my comment that while you can read, you don’t comprehend very well.

                edit: it’s also amazing that you seem completely unaware that the average underpaid, underappreciated teacher in the US has this exact impression of how the average parent views them… as glorified babysitters, and not respected as teachers or paid well for educating and generally dealing with everyone else’s kids all day.

                Yes, I know the article is about Korea, I imagine the same dynamic applies, given the nature of the article.
