Childless woman moment.
If a male, it's a turbo fag that shouldn't be around kids in the first place.
At the bookstore I work at, the teachers that come through my checkout are either:
Boomer women teachers
- retired but still uses teacher discount
- only clearance books
- Sometimes with little black kids from their church. Treating them to a book or whatever.
GenX/Early Millennial women teachers
- with either 3 kids or no kids
- husband is either husk or android
- all either clearance books or brand new from shipment.
- clearly thinks it's her God given quest to singlehandedly save the youth
Zoomer/late Millennial woman teachers
- No kids or she's with a group of them (none her own). Name tags
- Pagan aesthetic
- Fat
- clearly likes the power aspect of being a teacher. They think they're right.
- clearance kids books only, except Dog Man and her Colleen Hoovers
- also clearly thinks it's her God given mission to educate the youth "correctly". Especially the boys. (I think they learned this from the women teachers of previous generations.)
Male Teachers
- usually higher education
- Old
- Using his teacher discount on either movies or books from the 1910s
- if young then he's buying books for his wife's class or he works at a private faith school
That's literally it. Teachers right now value being the fun/cool teacher way too much and have no tolerance for small child behavior, especially little boys.
I'll end this with a personal anecdote from my own high school experience where the liberal female math, economics, english and spanish teachers essentially ran out the openly republican male history teacher when the 2016 election was underway. One of the English teachers I was friends with and she told me once she was so happy that her daughter was starting to recognize Hillary Clinton when she comes on TV lmao. These same teachers literally cried the day after Trump won and took 1-2 days off. After this they really cracked down on the yee-haw-esque kids' actions like, just because they were presumed republican Trump voters. Times were wild.
No wonder homeschooling is exploding
Public education is well and surely fucked. Teachers are too far up their own asses. Public education is basically Ms. Censordoll
Childless woman moment indeed
