The reason our education system is in a mess

[Lilith7]

Remember how during covid we were so grateful to the nurses and doctors and teachers and all the other vital people we rely on completely? Our heroes, we called them.

Now they get to strike to earn a liveable wage.

That's not my kind of new normal.

Mine either - & I suspect not OK with most of us. I think health & education should be the top priorities for every govt, here & everywhere, & both occupations should be well paid with good working conditions. With a mechanism to weed out those attracted solely by the excellent pay.

Yeah, I know. Lucky dreams are free, eh or I'd be in hock  forever...
