Teachers Are Summer Enthusiasts

A long rant arguing teachers are self-important, overpaid "summer enthusiasts," citing declining US education rankings, his Catholic school experience with teachers who "made out with kids," and insisting kids must go back to school regardless.
- Tim's observation: female teachers are self-important, spend entire lives with children, and talk to adults like they're kids.
- Teaching used to require genuine passion; now it's a job taken for suburban pay and two months off per year.
- Tim calls many teachers "summer enthusiasts" who show up at 7:30 a.m. and leave by 2:30 p.m.
- Teachers explain things to adults as if they're children and insist on conversational interactions people dread.
- Teaching is not the most important job in the world; America's educational performance is far behind other developed nations.
- If cops were shooting as many people as teachers are failing students, they would be abolished—yet teachers get endless praise.
- Tim proposes abolishing teachers the same way some want to abolish cops, letting kids teach themselves without a school system.
- At his Catholic school, the good teachers—the ones who stayed late and ran clubs—were also making out with students in the hallway.
- Teachers upset about returning to school during the pandemic should remember they already have job security and financial stability.
- The U.S. ranks 20th globally in education, behind Finland, Japan, South Korea, and many others—not the best system in the world.
- The real purpose of sending kids back to school is to free up parents to return to work and stop pretending to care about their children.
