    I’m pretty sure Cop-Teacher is the most common marriage in the US in terms of professions (excluding one/both spouses being unemployed or staying home).

    There’s a reason why schools look and function a lot like prisons, and a certain type of chud attracted to the disciplinarian system.

    Unlike cops there are decent teachers out there, who really do strive to help kids how they can. The environment and funding and support is just not there.

      The environment and funding and support is just not there.

      I did my best for as long as I could, but the testing industrial complex wanted kids to fail so more schools could get privatized so it was always an uphill fight to teach kids anything but the tests themselves, and I had to resort to shortcuts and the like just to try to get them to pass the corpo rituals just for their own sakes.

      And oh yes, there was a lot of security theater in the school, including armed pigmask-off harassing kids constantly.
