Current Events > ITT: Millennial teachers summed up in two pictures

(+) Yeah! (+)

My millennial teacher friend be like:



Not even two weeks later she's like:



It's almost as if there's some correlation between making enough money and having three months off work every year *thinking emoji*

So she had 1k saved up for her pet then a few weeks later spent about 20 bucks on drinks. What's the problem here?

that's not your friend

*smells*
Nice

The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save-the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour-your capital. The less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life-the greater is the store of your estranged being.

god dammit it's not about the drinking, idgaf about that

the point is, image 1 clearly shows she clearly doesn't have as much money as she'd like. no questions there, totally normal reaction. people like money.

image two shows a post where she states she is celebrating summer vacation, a benefit that teachers are awarded every year.

teaching is the lowest common denominator profession for college degree holders

it attracts many who want job stability and authority with minimal risk, effort, and quite frankly competence, despite the amount of amazing and talented exceptions to this, which seem like a dying breed

it's really unsurprising that many don't make responsible life decisions, and that society holds all of them in such high regard given such a state of affairs is quite frankly tragic

Are you that bitter? Teaching fucking sucks. Low pay, dealing with shitty parents and administration, having to come up with engaging lessons that can easily be ruined my kids who dont have a support network to teach them basic behaviors.

I made twice as much as an engineer with better vacation packages then being a teacher. I dont have to plan my vacations to only when school is out

You need a teaching certificate, which puts teaching above "generic business job that requires a degree" when it comes to lowest common denominator.

I get the feeling you're misusing the term millennial.

Gonna call bullshit on that. No other full-time profession offers three months (hell, four if you combine winter + spring breaks) of vacation. Even a CXO who worked in the same company for 30 years and earned additional yearly vacation time still won't amount to 3-4 months a year.

Show me where I said I'm mad? I'm just pointing out a gap in her logic that is not an uncommon one among teachers these days

Let's see what an actual teacher like @mipond thinks.

So why dont you tell her about her gap in logic instead of shit posting on here

We had unlimited vacation at one of my tech jobs in Silicon Valley. Not to mention being able to work from home, free food etc.

Teaching I couldnt even take a shit during the day because passing periods are so short and I cant leave in the middle of class

I just want to clarify this point. teachers don't get get a "vacation" during the summer, they get laid off during the summer with a promise of being hired back in fall. they are unemployed and do not get paid during that time.

We should have year round school years, the. summer gap especially hurts low income kids

Great point tc

I was told that teachers were given the option to either A.) Take the normal salary paid year-round, or B.) Take that salary but only get paid 9 months out of the year. So, say it's 40,000/yr. Option A gets paid 3333.33/month for 12 months, but option B gets paid 4444.44/month for just 9 months, and is effectively unemployed for the three months off.

It's not the same for everyone.

You weren't taking 3-4 months off, I can safely say that much. Just because it's there, doesn't mean you used it.

Secondly, why'd you quit?
---

I wanted to help people and working in tech gave me another stock to pay off my student loans so I had the freedom to try something different. I would consider going back to into teaching but I never a charter school. Long story.

I found a different job in engineering thats all about helping people and I feel better

she got a trip to the vet for her pet, then went out for drinks to celebrate the school year being done. where's the gap in that logic?

Yeah I actually talked to teachers, most of them don't even go on a full on 3 month vacation because they're constantly trying to come up with lesson plans on how to improve them... well the good teachers that is. It's easy to be a bad one however.

Are you actively trolling, or just so dense that you don't even realize you're missing the point of the topic?

The point has nothing to do with the fact that she's out drinking. I couldn't care less. Go nuts.

The point is, she's complaining about not having enough money, but she gets 3-4 months off work every year. She doesn't seem to get the correlation between time worked and money earned. Work fewer hours? Get paid less.

Based on what? You don't know shit about me or her so shut the fuck up unless you have something relevant to say.

4 month*

Once you establish the core curriculum, which I grant can take a while, every additional year is just tweaking it. Once you've got the foundation from year 1, the rest is just little nitpicks here and there.

I have no respect at all for anyone that uses the term "adulting"
Grow the fuck up and be miserable and tolerate it like the rest of us.

Will just point this out about teachers - one of the more respectable/stable jobs that usually never does drug tests. At least in my state thats true. I dont shit on teaching as a profession but I honestly would expect that most millennial teachers today are getting absolutely blasted on their extended periods of free time.

Please stop trolling, it's really not a good look for you. I posted two images in the literal OP that show she doesn't understand.

"Hmm I don't have as much money as I'd like"
One week later
"Yay three months off work!"

I still dont understand what point TC is trying to make.

Is he annoyed at an acquaintance for living her life? Is he saying teachers are bad with money? Is there any sort of logic to follow here?

What a weird shitpost.
