Reply #210: the 3 months of vacation was my little joke

[pitohui]

i should have realized that teachers, whose ranks still include many unprosecuted abusers, have little sense of humor for they must know in their hearts that one of the reasons they're resented is because they have harbored and protected monsters

the professor who stalked and harassed me for sex was a sociopath, the administration and the other professors who sheltered him are the true monsters

do you give the pope a pass for protecting the priests who abused? why then do expect us to say "oh that's OK then" even tho most abusive teachers have never paid for their crimes & there is every reason for victims to still best angry

i get one life, telling me that "it was all so long ago" is bullshit when my entire life has been impacted and my standard of living and my ability to work as i please was changed forever because i was unwilling to be raped by a professor

the teachers i know get far superior benefits to other working people, and you are not winning any points by pretending this isn't so

there is no real mystery as to why many people hate teachers, for many children, their first experience of cruelty came at the hands of a teacher

until we acknowledge this, until we're honest about this, i don't see why we should pretend it's some kind of weird irrational thing that many people hate teachers

it's natural and human to hate cruelty
