Probably not enough diversity.

Here’s how public K-12 teachers are feeling about their jobs:

>77% say their job is frequently stressful.
>68% say it’s overwhelming.
>70% say their school is understaffed.
>52% say they would not advise a young person starting out today to become a teacher.

Remember how teaching was always the plan C for college graduates if their STEM careers didn't work out? Now even being a garbageman is more enjoyable than teaching, and almost pays as much too.

Even teaching college is unimaginably depressing right now. Students are so fucking unengaged it makes you feel like all your effort is just completely wasted. I'm not going to pretend I'm the world's greatest instructor or anything, but damn am I trying my best. These last couple of semesters have just been painful, however. When students show up to lectures and labs (if they show up at all) they spend the entire time on their phones, you ask them questions and most of them just stare at you speechless with these blank dead stares until you move on to someone else, almost none of them have any kind of ambition or curiosity as far as I can tell. Ten years ago if I showed students some cool demonstration in class, even the ones who didn't want to be there would perk up and start asking questions and want to know more... but so many of these students now, it's like there's no light behind their eyes, no spark.

You offer to help them on assignments and they say no, or just ghost your attempts to engage them completely. Most of them are completely content to make the absolute bare minimum to pass the course and not one iota of effort more. I've got a service class with eighty students enrolled and I'm lucky if ten show up to class anymore - as soon as the other seventy or so realized they had enough points on the books to pass they stopped showing up, stopped doing assignments, etc.

And I'm hearing the same thing from my coworkers and colleagues from other schools. It's like this whole Covid cohort is just completely checked out from everything.

These niggers were the same people calling for extended shutdowns in 2020.

Just another cost of diversity

No, shutdowns were always a fucking stupid idea. Cold and flu seasons are just a shitty part of teaching that you learn to live with, and this wasn't fundamentally different. The people most at-risk and 90% of the actual hospitalizations and deaths from Covid were among the retired or retiring generations and shutting down jobs and forcing millions of classes to switch to bullshit online modalities was fucking retarded.

Boomers and Silent Genners could have sucked it up and dealt with having to keep isolated for a couple months or years while the rest of us went about our lives, and that would've been the end of it, but instead they panicked and selfishly insisted on having everyone else's lives grind to a fucking halt and we're now seeing starting to see just how much that decision fucked over their grandkids' and great grandkids' generations.

you seriously think boomers and silent generation were capable of what was done?
