    This thread seems to fall into the “people who have no idea about the realities of teaching being confidently incorrect”.

    As someone somewhere said; if you want to lose faith in comment sections, go to a discussion on a topic that you are an expert on.

      Thanks for adding some sanity and nuance to this conversation. I agree with the general sentiment here that stuff that a person does on the side of their career should not affect their employment for most careers, but when it is a teacher, especially one that works with minors, it’s a bit of a different dynamic.

      That being said, we should absolutely pay teachers enough so that they don’t have to get side gigs to survive. It is disgusting how little teachers are paid for the amount of work they do, and their importance to society as a whole.
