Less opportunity to apply force but plenty to inflict lifelong damage.

Or at least massive opportunity cost and stunting or misdirection.

Teachers and police should be both way better paid and we should demand a lot more from both. These shouldn't be jobs you just get because they are easy(ish) to qualify for and have retirement and you can't ever get fired. We really need some of our best people in both.

If you think it is easy to become a teacher, boy do I have news for you.

[mythrwy → dlp211]

It can't be too difficult based on many of those I had.

[dlp211 → mythrwy]

The difficulty to become a teacher is in no way correlated with the ability to teach.

[mythrwy → dlp211]

What I was referring to was intelligence, not ability to teach.

And, factually, yes, it is pretty easy to become a teacher. Thanks for your opinion to the contrary though, I'll consider it.
