Yes, your second paragraph is what I am talking about. Focus on the things that might be actionable. The reality is that teachers will probably always spend some of thier own money, just like other professionals. So raging against it is a distraction and it isn’t an actionable problem really. Overall compensation, proper spending on support, not asking teachers to wear 27 hats… those are actionable. Those are what we need to be raging about, just like your last sentence.

My retirement plan is to off myself, let’s be outraged that we can’t even afford to live despite working our whole life.
