Many of you have suggested that the only educators who don't like this sub are "elitist"

In reality, it's the opposite. Most of the posters who don't like this sub are the ones on the lower rungs of our profession. We went to school. We got degrees. We went through tough training processes. We thought we were going to be respected as professionals, not treated as minimum wage labor. The training we went through prepared us to perform the work that we perform, and it would be silly for us to ask for help in doing the jobs we are trained for, right? If we can't figure out what to say in response to these questions, we should be fired for incompetence because we didn't learn how to do our job in school.<br><br>This sub is basically saying that teachers should be treated as unskilled laborers. Imagine if you were a doctor, and other doctors were saying on Chambers, "Yeah, it's totally fine to ask for advice on how to do surgeries that you have already done dozens of times. If you can't figure out how to do your job now, you're stupid and you should quit."<br><br>There are plenty of subs for young teachers to ask for advice and feel supported by their peers. r/teacheradvice and r/teaching are good examples.<br><br>This sub is for people who don't even want to put in the effort to get an education or training. They just want to do the minimum amount of work required to get a teaching certification, and then immediately come here to ask for advice on how to do even the most basic parts of our job. This sub says that's completely acceptable.
