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.

    How else is she supposed to afford to buy art supplies out of her own paycheck because the school refuses to supply a proper budget?

      He. And from what I can tell, Saint-Lazare is a pretty well-off suburb of Montreal, so I’m guessing he’s not paid too badly.

        I’m pretty sure every single teacher in the entire world is underpaid, with the possible exception of some that also coach sports or something like that.

          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.
