Antiwork

Teacher pay in the US is comically low. But I feel entirely unable to help in any meaningful way. When we have local or state ballot initiatives for school, they are always for amorphous “improvements” or “mental health” or “building new facilities” and the like. It never seems to make a difference in teacher pay. How can I help most? Is teacher pay generally a state issue? A local issues? A school board issue? What is the most direct means of supporting higher pay for teachers?

I'm posting at the suggestion of another redditor based on a comment I made on this post but also regarding another post a few days ago praising In and Out. Basically I stated that my son was also required to sign an agreement that he would not sue and would arbitrate with the company itself. I was extremely put off by this document when I read it and could not believe it was legal. They do offer an option to remove your acceptance in writing after you're hired, but we all know what would happen then and this was part of his paperwork he had to fill out prior to actually being hired and scheduled.

I have no more will knowing that any job at all thinks basic human rights is a benefit.

So I read another post on here a while ago about mandatory internships in Europe and I just need to get this off my chest: It's so fucking bullshit. I don't know how other countries do it, but here in the Netherlands many educations force an intenrship to be completed before you are able to graduate. Now I think internships for college students are a good idea, they definitely help you build more experience than just reading and learning about your field. My problem lies with the fact that I have to work 40 hours a week for 4-5 months straight until you meet the 800 hour requirement. That's 800 hours of work that you are NOT getting paid for. If you're lucky, you can get a little compensation but it's laughable the amount that they're paying you. During my last internship I got paid 150 euro's a month. That…
