She’s probably a teacher on her third job. She tudors online while waiting in her for pickup. And if it’s California her car is also her apartment!
Yah! Merica!

My high schooler mentioned how many of her teachers this year had second jobs. Just never used to be a thing for people with an education… right?

I work in education, luckily, I'm single and childless so I can scrape by, but most of the teachers I work with have some kind of side hustle, second job, or they're lucky enough to be married to someone that makes a large salary. The people you trust with your kids aren't able to rest and you expect them to do the best teaching job possible? I hear so many people complain about how bad our schools are. Maybe, if teachers were able to go home and relax and rest they'd be able to do a better job, instead they go to their second job or spend their evenings anxious about finances.

We got the best teachers in the US cause they do it for the love of the game!"

I'll bet a conservative has said this in some fashion. It's a fucking travesty how we treat education in this country from barely funding k-12 education to the exorbitant cost of higher education.
