There is a teacher at my sister's middle school who angrly rips students' homework and yells at them when he gets a chance. Like why.

Teaching, like pimping, ain't easy and should pay a great deal more. That said, they are still people and most people are cunts.

My college Econ professor used to say that we should fire all teachers, double the pay, and reinterview.
daimomusic
And yet, I still want to become a teachers aide so I can help children. Fuck what the others think
Jethrie
What we should do is go back to the days of one room schoolhouses. And let teachers hit kids. /s
ThePerfectCommentDoesntexi
Finally! Someone has the courage to say what we have all been thinking!
MyBedroomIsSiberia
Ummm can we talk about how the highest paid teachers at universities are coaches, and students on NCAA teams are basically slaves???
novalotus
College athletes cannot be paid, meanwhile the coaches are paid stupid amounts of cash. Fits this comic quite well.
TyroneBiggums37
Does a professor bring in $100 million a year in for the school? I'm all for good teacher pay but u gotta realize the revenue from coaches

Because teachers are in unions, and unions = bad. I know because lobbyists, I mean the one media outlet that only tells the truth, said so.
bootslp
In Nova Scotia today the teachers have walked out... The government portraits them as greedy assholes, in reality they just want improved

Classroom conditions so that kids can actually learn

Really peculiar moment as a first year teacher: realizing my kids see me as a rich person because I wear a tie and drive a car.

shoutout to all my amazing teachers throughout the years, you da realest MVP's there is.

The amount of ignorance in this comment section is staggering
VictusVonGuyver
It's strange that teachers need to strike for the city to give raises. Yet, absolutely no problem dishing out millions for new stadiums.

I just wish they wouldn't go on like they are special, yes I'm sure your job is hard sometimes, but so are most people's. I have a couple of

Friends who teach, one in particular who is very successful. They just get on with it. Both aware that In a lot of ways they are lucky.

I'ld prefer the caption: If your income were relative to your contribution to society.
Foxwilleau
teachers are beyond vital, even the weaker ones, if they were paid as sitters, even badly, 5 bucks/hr, 20 kids, they'd make $100+/hr
Cuntard
Sounds like they're idiots for not quitting their jobs and becoming babysitters then
Anpumon
My sister's a teacher, works full time, and STILL qualifies for Food Stamps
Cuntard
So she's bitching about a salary and free food? First world problems
Anpumon
A salary that's so low that you *qualify for food stamps*?
BearsBeetsandBattlestarGalactica
She should teach in Australia, good pay.
Anpumon
Cause you need it given how freaking high house is out there.
Redcatcher
teacher unions ensure there is more money in the education bureaucracy than the classroom but teacher still support the union. not smart
andino66
NBA players have a better union.....
hstein3
Only real way to get significantly higher teacher pay is to make them federal employees. No one wants that.
TheNickWalker
Both of my parents are teachers. My mom teaches special ed and my dad teaches math. They love what they do
TheNickWalker
Thank you OP:)
doomsdayaddams
Ha ha ha ha. Teachers at all levels work long hours and are required to do certification training in summers. Most are heroes.
johnvictor
They in general make LESS than minimum wage.
LookingForWorkInColorado
haha joke is on them. 10mil isnt much for an NBA player now hahahahahahaKillUshahahaha
Cuntard
TIL a hero is a person who does the job they are paid to do...
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
If that job include tremendous sacrifice and trying to help kids have better lives against difficult odds, then kinda.
Nikeet
Teachers sound a lot like IT professionals, if that's the case. Guess I can now tell my husband he's a hero.
DotSlashNatalie
I would argue the certificates are just as worthless.I don't care if you have 999+ hours in class - nothing will beat real world experience.
SexicoMitty
Really throwing "hero" around liberally huh
Sticklebrickk
Not when it comes to teachers.
SexicoMitty
totallyahumanperson
most can make more money doing something else, it's should be respected that they choose to teach our shitty kids instead.
Cuntard
Then they're either stupid for not doing something else and making more money, or assholes for bitching about taking less voluntarily...
damspam
Unpopular opinion: If we can apply that term to soldiers dying for low oil prices, we can apply it to those teaching our children to succeed
PeteButtigieg
Soldiers dying is equal to teaching. I hope you're not serious.
SexicoMitty
What if I find that silly too. These are jobs. It's a job. Doesn't make you a hero by default. Going above and beyond at your job is differe
damspam
True. you arent automatically good by being a teacher, but many teachers I know are incredibly selfless & committed despite being paid shit

Depends where you work, that was my public school
BlackHartMTB
Ya I think someone messed up writing this article. GDP of the United States is 16 trillion. Each teacher in New York made $60million?lmfao
icookfoodandfightfire
uhhh what? the top pay out was $220,421.16 and the top pay for any of the teachers was $147,348.14...whered you get $60 million?
BlackHartMTB
Click on the link and read the first sentence.
hughesybooze
In my experience 95% of teachers are kind of shitty. Only a few stood out as making some positive contribution to my life over the years.
d6410
Have to agree, it's way to easy to become a teacher where I live. Most do it because they'll never get fired.
carbonpage
I wonder if the poor compensation has much to do with it
illbeyoursledgehammer
actually it has more to do with the fact that in the USA you can be a bad student and still become a teacher, while in most countries at

that* are ahead of us in education only the creme of the crop of those going to school to become teachers get to teach
illbeyoursledgehammer
USA ranks in top 10 as of 2016 for teacher avg teacher pay but 30th in terms of math/science compared to the world.
illbeyoursledgehammer
tldr we pay dumb people lots of $ to teach and get dumb kids, others pay very smart people avg amounts of money and get very smart kids

Please understand ppro sports are kept afloat by the private interest of private citizens. Why dont people compare the wnba? O no interest.
uniformedmonkey
Or most of the other olympic sports. Many of them don't have much
darkskies582
The NFL is a non-profit... They don't pay taxes
TCGreen
Not anymore, an individual NFL have always paid taxes on their income.
TCGreen
That should be individual NFL *teams
Cuntard
False. They voluntarily forfeited their NP status a few years ago
YoSoyMilk
Pro sports are kept afloat by advertising. Don't kid yourself.
letstalknews
O no doubt.
whyiseverythingupsidedown
If you could commercialise teaching and develop an audience, advertising would come - look at the money college and HS sports coaches get.
whyiseverythingupsidedown
They can advertise because there is massive interest, they're tapping in to a massive market. No interest in the sport = minimal advertising
NotAmused1001
Pro sports are also kept afloat by tax breaks and subsidies for things like stadiums.
RandallPiinkFloyd
Such a foolish statement
D4rkSt4r7
Explain?
fistermatic5000
And having an actual stadium brings in revenue from a lot of other things. The actual sport as just one event that goes on in it.
anddylanrew
He's clearly talking about the four major pro sports that have massive government subsidized stadiums.
serpentinebaboo
Those unite the city and give a sense of camaraderie and excitement. Cities love their sports teams. Its a minority who don't.
PeteButtigieg
That bring in a ton of money to the city and a lot of jobs. I'm fine with those tax breaks.
BlackHartMTB
They are actually a huge drain economically. They only benefit the owners who extort cities with threats of leaving.
PeteButtigieg
Face value, I don't see it. How so, change my mind.
anddylanrew
Very few of them bring in more than a handful of jobs. Most of the money they bring it would have just been spent elsewhere.
fistermatic5000
Not necessarily. Events bring in tourists who's money would've have been spent in a different city.
