No human interactions, no laughter, no real face to face communication like we had in grade school. Instead, Amazon\u2019s Alexa is teaching them communication skills. Just a single screen for 12 years of grade school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you prepared to have your children and grandchildren taught by robots? I\u2019m not here to inform you about technology advancement. I&#8217;m here to tell you that no one wants to be a teacher anymore. Being a teacher used to mean being a person who helps others to develop knowledge, competence or values. But the new definition of a teacher is a person who buys supplies, textbooks, calculators and sneakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teachers are now mothers buying uniforms for students who can\u2019t afford to replace ones that don\u2019t fit anymore. Teachers are now fathers who break up fights between frustrated teens in gangs. Teachers are protectors who die in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/the-playground-is-not-a-battlefield\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">school shootings<\/span><\/a> while trying to defend students. Teachers are the last ray of hope students have that stops them from committing suicide or killing someone. Teachers are heroes, social workers, counselors, nurses and parents. Often, they work two or three side jobs to afford to be the superheroes they are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It\u2019s no secret either. Everyone is well aware of the sacrifices and hardships teachers face. Teachers\u2019 working conditions are students\u2019 learning conditions. I\u2019ve heard teachers say that they\u2019ve taken in homeless students and kept food, water and supplies in their classrooms for needy ones. And don&#8217;t get me started on forcing standardized testing on kids who are hungry, sick or tired from working two after-school jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone is also well aware that newer generations are not majoring in education. How many of your friends want to be a high school or middle school teacher? Not many people want to risk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sambla.no\/ulike-lantyper\/lane-penger\/\">taking out loans<\/a> and using their financial assistance to become a teacher who ends up on food stamps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one wants to be a teacher anymore because the government doesn\u2019t want to pay people to teach. Meanwhile, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/news\/staff\/bios\/devos.html?src=hp\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Secretary of Education<\/span><\/a> owns a 40 million dollar yacht. Superiors who are born into money can&#8217;t possibly understand the plight of public school teachers. Bills that have been put into place to pay teachers more have been split by people who aren&#8217;t teachers, like resource officers who already get paid by the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teachers are the foundation of society. The doctors and lawyers you see had teachers who had to make extreme sacrifices to teach them. It doesn\u2019t make sense that those teachers aren\u2019t getting paid the amount they deserve as professionals who have families of their own to raise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any bill passed for the increase in teachers\u2019 pay should be just for teachers. The reality is that people of our generation who come from low-income or middle-class families refuse to watch our parents struggle to put us through college, while we major in education, only for us to end up being handed an empty class and told to produce lawyers and doctors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Let\u2019s face the facts. The economy is growing and so is its technology sector. Have you ever noticed how toll booth employees have been replaced by cameras that take a picture of your tag and send you the toll fee in the mail? One technology advancement made millions lose their jobs. As technology continues to advance, many of us will be replaced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is especially true in jobs that people don\u2019t want. No one wants to be a teacher anymore, because under the job\u2019s current conditions, it\u2019s almost impossible to do. If we\u2019re not willing to supply our teachers with what is needed to produce greatness in their classrooms, Alexa will end up doing it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine dropping your kids off at school and they go into a lab to sit in front of a computer screen.
