What if we treated teachers like professional athletes?

Great skit but it's real sad the world isn't really this way.:francis:
Is it tho? Supply and demand. Tens of Millions of people can do what Mrs.Oliver does during 7th period geometry. Fewer than 100 can do what chris Bosh, or Eli Manning, or mbappe can do.



But i think the scales do get a little bit fairer for college STEM professors. Fewer people can do what these professors do; especially when dealing with a nobel prize winner.

Can anyone do teaching? We have a teacher shortage and class sizes are only getting bigger. Teaching seems like a terrible job and will only result in dumb ass adults in the future.

It's not about whether anybody can do it. It's about how much ticket revenue and advertising dollars you can generate by getting people to watch you do it. Even a nobel prize winning teacher isn't selling out a stadium. Hence the difference in pay. People need to stop acting like atheletes are overpaid. They'd be working part time in Russia like WNBA players too if nobody was watching them.

There’s also tens of millions of people who can do what Eli Manning and Chris Bosh do. They just can’t do it nearly as well. If athletes were getting paid as much as teachers there would be a lot less people who have the incentive to do it. I get the premise of the thread. If teachers got paid what athletes do more people would be highly motivated to not only teach but to do a great job at it

Everyone understands the dynamics that make things the way they are brehs... like, you think the people that are talking about this don't realize that elite athletes are more rare than good school teachers?

We know.

It's just a thought and maybe even a wish that our value system worked differently. The confines of capitalism don't allow it; but it would be nice if it did. If somehow educators and education had the same shine on it that entertainment and athletes do. It's a wild thing to try to envision how different things would be if that were the case.

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
The reason why it's hard to respect "most" public school educators is because their curriculums is usually just spreading more bullshiiit (aka, the propaganda is western textbooks that omit a lot of accurate history).


The teachers know this yet still abide by their masters and not challenge the status quo.


They are part of the reason why our education system is so fukked, flawed and fulgazi.



Even canuck buck ass Canada has a better schooling system than us.








Like, my dumbass never wanted to go to class and even when the bell rang, my ass was still chilling at the...
