Financing construction projects - Enough equity?

Oops, there was probably an advertising banner over your addendum.

Specifically: I have contact points mainly with NW teachers.
- Discovery-based teaching method (trial and error by the students) not possible in 45-minute chunks
- if possible: too slow to cover the core curriculum
- lack of resources for field trips
- NW subjects build on math knowledge. It is almost self-explanatory what doesn’t work here
- lack of equipment to form advanced courses, even when there is interest
- specialized rooms not usable, sometimes for years

Unfortunately, it is just like that (and this is my perception based on the teachers I know), that there is excessive complaining or whining about this. And yes, if you earn well or very well, you tend to overlook things more than if you had to muster the same nerves for less money. For a job that pays 10,000, I would rather stand in rush hour traffic for an hour than for a job that only pays 5,000. Unless you turn your hobby into a profession, money or work-life balance is motivation number one when choosing a career.

And everyone should also be aware that not all that glitters is gold in working life. And since I myself spent many years in school, I was able to observe that the motivation of teachers decreases significantly over the years. If you allow that in the private sector, you are quickly out of the picture.

I grant everyone the right to whine and complain, but especially for civil servant teachers and their reasons, I would wish that they had to do some other job for a week that is paid just as well.

My favorite reason for whining, which always comes from my brother-in-law, is that as a teacher you always have to pay more for vacations because you always have to take your vacation in the peak season. I really have nothing to say to that...

When are you "allowed" to whine then? Where do you draw the line? I also hate it when people whine about things that, in my eyes, are not serious. I'll be honest. Especially now with Corona, this has become very clear to me again. What really (probably as someone affected) annoys me is this attitude that as an outsider who has never done the job, you presume to judge whether there is reason for complaints or not. And I say this as someone who knows both sides well. The personal feeling of your examples is just like that – are you sure it’s not about the type of person but about the profession? Oh, and by the way, what I find extremely annoying is this "I pay you so do it and shut up" attitude, quite uncool. But that’s just from me, by the way.

Complaining is human and I also complain about things that, upon closer inspection, are actually not worth mentioning.

To put it bluntly:
Non-teachers, who have more responsibility and especially risk for the same or even less money (and on whom livelihoods sometimes depend, especially now during the pandemic), have no understanding for the problems of (civil servant) teachers where, for example, it's about missing funds for field trips or annoying parents of the students.
The points that listed are – with all due respect – from my perspective and compared to jobs that are similarly paid, ridiculous.

Obviously, I’m a terrible teacher. I’ve explained a lot, and you absolutely didn’t understand what I wanted to say. About 10 hours of office worker with responsibility over a lot of money fail here one after another when they try working in the school system (in a problem area, mind you). It’s not due to lack of diligence (lazy bastard), not due to poor self-organization, nor due to unwillingness to do anything outside of what’s considered working hours. Still, it happens.

I have failed to make clear to you what the problem is.

Additional note: For a decade now, no children’s soccer coach has worked here unpaid anymore, and the one who pursues his hobby is ME. I don’t know in which Lummerland the world is still so much more okay.

To put it bluntly: Non-teachers who have more responsibility for the same or even less money

Someone who manages a budget of, say, 100 million has more responsibility than someone who teaches 200 children? Cool worldview, that explains a lot.

I never claimed that the job of a teacher is easy and suitable for everyone due to the required character traits! That’s not what this is about at all. Originally, this was about the complaints of the teachers and not about suitability.
