That was the decade that teachers were attacked by some of the vilest members in society. Teachers that should have been valued and been sacred in society as the gate keepers of knowledge were destroyed. And that's when we knew civilization was crumbling.

Honestly, I don't know who will go into teaching anymore. Why would you? It's already a low paying job for the amount of training you put into it. And then to be only viewed as a tax burden?
