68. Despicable propaganda from you.
Being kept in economic insecurity and threatened with layoff is a punishment. If that's normal, by the way, then it doesn't become right, or less punishing. If that's normal, it's an indictment of the system as a whole.

Getting to teach the "easy" students is not and cannot be seen as a compensation for this treatment. Only someone who is remote from the welfare of children (whether or not you deal with them personally) could say such a thing. There are no "easy" students and teaching them should not mean precarity or being treated as though you're a freeloader.

Furthermore, they appear to be "easy" in the first place because the school and she (by ALL appearances) are good. So yes, she is being punished for being good at a good school, NOT on behalf of any worthy goal, but in the context where the Billionaire Boys and the education deformers are out to bust the labor. And you are coming up with the lame-ass black-is-white rhetoric that is supposed to excuse this attack on teachers in the name of "improvement."
