This is not new. When I was teaching elementary about 20 years ago I was told the same thing. I’ve had to change grades because someone never helped their child but had a big enough mouth to change the principal’s mind about the kid’s grades. After 25 years I burned out badly. I loved the job but hated the useless nonsense that stopped me from actually doing my job.

You lasted 25 years. Today, they burn out in five. Also, did you read the post, or just the title I wrote?

This has been the end goal of the GOP for at least 40 years now. Defund public schools, send as much money to voucher programs so the “right” kids get proper Christian education on the taxpayer dime, and leave the general public too stupid and media illiterate to resist the propaganda channels that misinform and warp them until they fall right into Trump’s lap. The rank and file Republican may be dumb, but never underestimate the party itself. There are patient and smart actors pulling the strings.
