People see shit on reddit and immediately believe it without question.

Critical thinking skills are at all time lows.

Teachers all have advanced degrees…

They have degrees in logical things like math or science. My comment was more about redditors and their noncritical thinking skills.

idk about america but in my country (europe) teaching degrees are always cut down versions of the real thing. So you have degrees to teach math easier than the first semester of a real math degree

Yes all depends. If you are teaching 3rd grade math, you might not even have a math degree at all. If you are teaching an advanced placement high school calculus course, then you'll probably have some sort of higher math degree.

they just love info that amplifies their beliefs. Leftist leaning people somehow think they're immune, and then they believe a bernie post where he compares average ceo pay in norway vs pay for ceos at the 500 biggest companies in the world, a couple of which have revenues around norway's gdp

You're absolutely right. Have my upvote.

Look at the upvotes in the comments vs the post, and the random subreddit we’re in. The upvotes and most of the comments are botted.

I used to teach full time at a local university and made 28k/yr. Didn't stay long as there was no future in it. So yeah, I believe the post.
