    Jeez, sorry I popped the "teacher as martyr" bubble. I didn't know it was such a touchy subject.
    My point is if you actually talked to teachers from time to time you wouldn't make such a ridiculous statement. Hell if you just read the news you would know the statement was stupid...teachers and school boards are being threatened almost every day even here. Open your eyes...

    The difference between teachers and cops is, teachers have almost zero power and deserve almost none of it. You may not like it but the larger than small amount of bad cops that do evil things are going to shine a light on every cop because they do have power over us. What is the worst that happens if a teacher screws up? What is the worst that happens if a cop screws up?

    Teachers aren't martyrs anymore than cops are. They just havent earned the disrespect they get.

        Hey now, so do cops. They keep the small, independent doughnut shops with "We Love and Support our Local Police Department" window signage going.

          And if you get robbed, they'll show up 2 hours after you call, scribble some notes, and never hear from them again.

            Correct, except they'll look for a way that it was your fault.

            • I have a co-worker (he's a BSABSVR centrist) try to use this as an example of Californiaing Texas. I asked him how a law passed by the Republican legislature had anything to do with California. He has not responded.

                        I think that's always been an interesting psychological issue: the willingness or reluctance to intervene if you are a witness to a crime.

                        Isn't there sort of a belief that the larger the crowd of bystanders, the less likely that someone might be to intervene? Sort of a situation where you hope/expect someone else witnessing it will intervene, or will be more capable of stopping the crime?
                        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                          Passengers who recorded an alleged incident of sexual assault on a train near Philadelphia but did not intervene or call authorities could face charges.

                          ... had an opportunity to intervene for 40 minutes while the victim was allegedly assaulted by the suspect ...

                          FOURTY minutes and all you did is ... record?

                            Yeah, ... apparently 'something' was video.

                            • I forget the exact term, but there is a name for a group of people who stand idly by and do nothing while something horrific happens.

                              Think it's called "diffusion of responsibility."
