A Bear Visits Classroom Of School Teacher Ironically Named Ms. Salmon

Editor's note: This article was originally published on October 2, 2022. It has since been updated. Abby Norman, a former teacher from Atlanta, Georgia, spent nine years "loving the students and the learning and despising the testing and the paper-pushing of the classroom." She then called it quits. In a tweet, Norman explained why she chose to quit the profession and now works as a bartender. "I quit my teaching job and now make more bartending for 15 fewer hours [every] week. Also, I get blamed for way less and get told thank you way more. No lesson plans or grading papers," she wrote. "Remember this when people ask about the teacher shortage."

Editor's note: This article was originally published on August 8, 2022. It has since been updated. There's a shortage of teachers across America, reflecting the low pay for teachers and inadequate investment in education. One teacher shared a video clip of her kindergarten class and how poorly it was furnished. The teacher, who goes by @progressivemama on TikTok, said the lack of investment in school was forcing teachers like her to spend their own money to help provide basic requirements in a classroom, such as books, shelves, and classroom staples, among other things. The video showed her panning the camera across the classroom, revealing empty shelves with no books and no proper chairs for kids to use. The video soon garnered more than 388,000 views and 35,600 likes.

For the record? "You look like my grandpa's couch" is one of the least offensive comments!. Fact checked by Sarah ScottFact checked by Sarah Scott. Teaching is definitely a profession where you need both a poker face and thick skin. It amazes me that kids in kindergarten all the way to high school walk onto school grounds and suddenly get jolted with some extra-strength chutzpah!
