The fuck are you on about?
He's just being a dick for no reason. Ignore him.
Man, I've noticed an uptick in that recently - seems to corelate with the dumber subreddits being recreated here.
The person asked if they were making any difference educating children in Texas and making better people. My response was no unless you were dealing with students 16 and over and had a significant impsct on their lives in and out of the classroom. They then worried they were undereducated and underqualified to work in other states and I responded a teaching degree and experience in Texas would be plenty in any state. Finally i wished them good luck.
Why is 16 the cutoff
Below that age you get to junior high or freshman year, you don’t really get the chance to communicate any political beliefs or sway any minds during those years. Below 16 and parental influence is also much stronger. When you hit 16, you get your license and usually more freedom from your parents. It also seemed in my experience when teachers would be more open to you about their own beliefs and have the ability to express why they think a certain way.
People are influenced outside of school at all ages. The communities they interact with affect who they are. This is a foundational argument of many socioeconomic models. Any time a person sees another react in some way - good or bad - it influences them.
