It's almost as if the decision to make being a teacher more expensive every year while paying teachers about the same as we pay fast food workers and eroding their benefits while for decades there has been a serious teacher shortage has so hollowed out the system so badly that one disaster could completely collapse the system.

To be clear support staff are treated even worse.

You know how for decades we've been saying we need to properly fund schools while republicans have been slashing funding? Yeah.
