THIS IS NOT ON TEACHERS.

40. Since most teachers are women they have been

underpaid, disrespected and ridiculed for over a hundred years. As women teachers have been used by our culture as well as scrape goated for their "caring nature". The old maids who couldn't get married and were stuck being teachers since they didn't have kids of their own, etc. We have seen and heard the stereotype all our lives. Teachers are often seen as glorified babysitters for many people who just don't want or can't get day care. This is amplified now during the Covid pandemic and returning to school (or not). Are teachers disposable? Our society needs to answer this question once and for all or it will remain the "same old, same old". I speak from experience.
