Re: “It’s sad to see parents continue to praise teachers. Teachers are evil. ”When my son was in high school, one of his friends who had graduated and was in college studying to be a teacher bemoaned on F*c*book how underpaid teachers are. I replied that they are union and actually very well paid, earning more out of college on average than engineers. He came back with something about how teachers always work extra hours without pay when they are home each day. I said, "So? Engineers do that - as do almost all white collar workers." At that point, his former music teacher WHO WAS ALSO MY SON'S CURRENT TEACHER entered the conversation and pretty much called me an idiot, saying that her pay was nothing close to what engineers make.

Now, that wasn't something I had said. I'd said that a teacher's STARTING pay is higher than the starting pay of an engineer. If I'd replied, I would have pointed out the fact along with the fact that teachers work something like 65% as many days each year as engineers. But this was my son's own teacher and I had to clam up. I bowed out of the discussion without saying another word, knowing that ticking off the teacher could harm my son.

My son later told me that he'd been embarrassed by my getting in "an argument with a kid" and had apologized the next day to the teacher. %@#$! That whole episode pi$$es me off to this day - because I was right but ended up looking as if I wasn't.
