You know what else doesn’t attract dedicated professionals to teaching positions? Attacking teachers.
People don’t choose profession based purely on salaries. They also want good work environment. No person will think “yes, this teacher was hurt by students but he was bad at his job. I’m I will be fine”.
And yes, the government is the one responsible for creating good job conditions for teachers by ensuring good infrastructure and proper staffing but teachers will tell you that kids are not exactly getting easier to work with. “Bad teachers” argument is pure victim blaming.
At what point did I say that attacking teachers is justified? I said wanting well paid teachers and hating cheap teachers can coexist and aren’t “suspicious” as the OP comment implied.
Right here. You claim that attacking bad teachers is consistent with the goals of the protesters. Saying that only tiny fraction of students attacked teachers and it’s not a valid part of the protests is one thing. Claiming that students are right to hate their teachers is justifying the attacks.
I think the argument was more about if it’s aligned with the goals of the protests or if it’s counterproductive, not if it’s morally right but I guess we’re just arguing over semantics at this point and will not get anywhere.

Saying it’s right and saying it’s not surprising are two entirely different things.
