Nobody wants to teach anymore
&gt; Nobody wants to teach<p>Counterpoint: the internet is full of people who want to teach. The first school of YouTube is overflowing with educational content on everything from merge sort to patching dry-wall. A large portion of my social circle hold teaching&#x2F;mentorship as a career goal. I don&#x27;t think this is pedantic. When I look around, I  see a surplus of people that want to learn and want to teach.<p>What I don&#x27;t see is people storming the gates for a horribly broken system that robs many humans of their best years while inflicting lifelong trauma. A position that is horribly underpaid relative to the demands of the job (so you aren&#x27;t doing it for money) and isn&#x27;t allowed to meaningfully improve things (so you aren&#x27;t doing it to &quot;make a difference&quot; unless you think putting on a smile is going to substantially change the outcome, which it sometimes does.)<p>I don&#x27;t necessarily think this is a bad thing. If you can provide a service at any standard of quality, list jobs at any standard of quality and pay, and the demand never dries up; there really is no incentive to fix things. At some point the education system in its current form needs to collapse.
