The weirdest part of this is it isn’t even good art. It’s the sort of art you would expect from 12-year-old junior high students.

So at least he probably hardly sold any of it.

    In the overall sense, I don’t disagree with you. I just mean that this teacher probably wasn’t impoverished and probably also didn’t have to buy his own art supplies.

      My mom was a teacher in an affluent area up until the pandemic. Definitely underpaid, definitely had to purchase supplies with her own money every year, and then was nearly fired for paying more of her own money to discover that there were toxins in her classroom that were making her sick.

      Teachers are treated horribly, and their hard work and money is often the only thing making a classroom livable.
