    This is great. The pay sucks though. The reason why is that the economy does not care about the children. We got immigration. Why the fuck would the economy lose money on kindergarten ? Or on family in general ? It’s a trend that keeps going on. Less and less children. Our places are less and less for families.

      It isn’t just that. Any job seen as a ‘woman’s job’ is going to pay less. And it isn’t just for the ‘traditional’ women’s jobs, like grade school teacher or secretary. If women enter a field in significant numbers, then wages overall will fall. See veterinary work for one example.

      Pisses me the fuck off.

        Women are still seen like a child trying to help. It’s ridiculous. I don’t think it’s like that all the time, but education does seem like it. It does feel like taking care of children is not a real job because “anyone can do it” (they can’t).

      Yeah the right wing goal is to privatize education to further ensure that the rich are the only ones that can control the narrative and get ahead. It’s wild to watch a country go from championing public education to half of the nation vilifying it for corporate and wealthy interests
