    ...why's this a bad life? If this is the kind of life someone wants then what's "dystopian" about it?

    Edit: Can teachers in the US live such a carefree life?

      Am teacher, had to move away from my students and community cuz I couldn't afford to live there anymore. Free time was spent grading and lesson planning.

          Fuck no we don't. I came in at 7 every day to turn on my from-home heaters in the class cuz my classroom didn't have heat, and cuz we were a working class school so students got dropped off hella early from their parents who were on their way to work. And I stayed until 6pm cuz we were in a bad neighborhood and some kids got picked up by their parents coming home from work and I didn't feel right telling those kids to go wait on the street. This is a community where houses sell for $600k+ and 90% of the students are on free/reduced lunch

          Nope teachers get paid for the school day +30ish minutes before and after students arrive/leave. Any work done outside the school is usually unpaid. And school boards still complain that paid prep periods shouldn't be allowed, basically guaranteeing teachers will have to work unpaid hours.

      Can you imagine not getting into political arguments online and calling someone a slur? These are difficult things they don't talk about in communism because they are brain dead because of communism
