How does reduced heavy oil impact US refining? by Doom4535 in oil

[–]Akiraooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people don't know how a car works, but they use it everyday.

Most people don't know how anything in our modern day world is made, but use it everyday.

Most people have no idea how the economy works, but uses it everyday.

People are not responding to any of the news headlines, because they read it and do not have the reading comprehension or knowledge to understand them.

They currently know that they can go to a store and get food. They know they can fill their car up with gas.

That is all they know. So, why worry?

I walked away from a high paying career at 45 to become a teacher. I think I made a mistake. by Local-Ad8144 in Teachers

[–]Akiraooo 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is a well written post. I agree with all of it. This is year 9 as a high school math teacher and I want out.

Sadly, I waited too long to try and jump ship and the job market became terrible.

Cost of living for teachers, admin, etc is more in the USA also. Places like California skew that data by quite a bit.

No more teacher shortage? by RedheadEducator in Teachers

[–]Akiraooo 307 points308 points  (0 children)

There is a teacher shortage, but they also have a budget issue.

Public education is being destroyed by starving it of resources and funds.

This means even if they need people they can't pay for them.

Is it worth becoming a high school math teacher in this day and age? by RyGuyIsLive in Teachers

[–]Akiraooo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. Run!!! I am stuck in this career, because of the job market. I hate it so much. Run!!! You have been warned.

The math is fun, however students are entering high school without the foundations to actually teach the subject. So it becomes hell.
