"but from what I can see, it takes incredible credentials, work and passion to be in a classroom with children and attempt to educate them". You'd be wrong about that. Teaching requires a bachelor's degree. There are many, many fantastic teachers and there are too many lousy ones. When I taught in San Antonio in the barrio in the mid 80s, Ross Perot got some legislation passed that required TABS--Texas Assessment of Basic Skills--a test that all teachers were required to pass regardless of where they taught. It was an 8th grade level test and two of my colleagues failed that test. I have worked alongside some of the most dedicated people but never chose to join a union. That was the beginning of the end for solid teaching. If it required passion, every single teacher would be in a classroom right heeding the science of COVID that it is safe to teach in person as so many are. Funny how you lunge at conservatives when it is the Catholic and other parochial schools who have been in person 100% since last August.
