The reason why teachers are praised and supported here is because it's assumed they are necessary. Children cannot be educated without public schools. Publics schools require public school teachers. If no teachers, no public schools, then no education for children. So...we have to encourage teachers who suffer this utter insanity for the sake of the children.
But...it is possible to educate children without public schools. And public school teachers.
In fact, children who aren't educated in public schools by publics school teachers are generally better educated.
Which eliminates the need to praise and encourage those who choose to work in this environment and their tireless efforts to poorly educate our children.
Which is why I'm comfortable saying these people are idiots.
