I love this, but you just know the teachers will single out that typo in there.”Doesn’t” instead of “don’t”. Teachers can be some of the worst bullies.
Actually you'd be surprised how many teachers have a hard time putting their own grammatically correct sentences together these days. Or spell correctly.
Dude, seriously. When I was in college, exactly 100% of the people I knew who were going into Elementary Education were the dumbest people I met. None of them could string together a proper sentence, none of them could spell correctly, and I even had to tutor one in 7th grade math. These people were graduating and getting jobs at schools. I recently learned that one of them was fired...but he's going back in for sure.
Incidentally, my friend who graduated with an English degree is now a teacher and based AF. Very bright, too. It was exclusively those who got a degree in education who were dumb as a bag of rocks.
It wasn't until high school when I began to doubt the academic credentials of my teachers, and not until after college when I started remembering the lies they told me. Not to mention the prejudice I experienced, such as when my math paper was given a C and my friend's an A, when we had the same answers and showed the same work. I had to confront that teacher on it all by myself.
Truly disgusting and horrible things happen to kids in school at the hands of their teachers, administrators, and staff. Worse, it makes the (seeming minority of) good teachers look bad. I blame the unions and the job security, in hand with the colleges that produce the worst of the bunch.
My brother said to me "it's not the teachers, it's the unions." To which I replied, "who's in the unions?"

Sad but true

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
Sad but true.
