Schools don't need more money. They just waste the money they get, and if you give them more money, they'll just funnel it into more waste instead of using it productively. I wrote a long ass rant about this and related stuff a few weeks ago, and someone capped it and posted it, so I saved it so I wouldn't have to explain it again in the future. It feels weird posting a cap of my own posts, but I didn't cap it myself, so I hope it's fine. I think the bit about wasted money is near the bottom.

I did it because I'm physically defective and can't do manual labor, and my parents were too poor and dumb to allow me a computer until I was already an adult and in college for a degree that was useless unless I used it to get a teaching degree after it. Also, where I am, it pays much better than $30k/year if you get full time, but job security is shit when you're starting out. But once you get seniority, it's basically impossible to get fired. Plus, summers off, unless I want to do summer school for extra money. I do like the fact that I can help a tiny bit by being one of the few non-sjws around, and one of the few interested in actually teaching and not just brainwashing, but it's not like I can ever actually say anything anti-SJW, the most I can do is just not say SJW shit and not be biased in the ways they are, though they try to force me to be.

>"Teaching" degrees are a gatekeeping mechanism to keep smarter more well rounded people out of teaching anon.
This. Every teacher I've ever spoken to has said they never learned a single thing while getting their degrees, and this includes people who got their degrees decades ago. It's been nothing but indoctrination and gatekeeping for decades, though I suspect it's worse now than before.
