Respectfully, we're overworke, but this job makes 20k more than the canvassing and retail I did in college. We're only underpaid compared to other workers with masters' degrees.
You're on the money about garbage curriculum though.
That said, that shouldn't excuse us any more than cops should be excused for doing their jobs.
If you're Marxist about it, being a worker makes us powerful when we're fighting against our conditions as workers, not when we're laboring for the boss. Teaching is not progressive in the American school system.
I really don’t think you can compare teachers and cops. They are more like nurses IMO.
