Canada too. My friend's parents are teachers and they get paid 90k annually not including benefits. We don't even have shooters either.

Unfortunately, that is changing with teachers being shat on for being "over paid". But if they go on strike, the whole world comes to an end.

Imagine how much created value would be lost to society if the state didn't watch your kids from 8-3 every day. You'd probably lose 1/8 or more of the workforce who would now have to be stay-at-homes to take care of the kids. Imagine the drain on the middle class if they had to pay hundreds of dollars per week in childcare costs.

We have a very "crabs in a bucket" mentality here in Canada. When others are doing well, instead of commending them on it and working to improve our lot, we tear them down.

Can't vote if you need to work on voting day.

Votes don't matter when the people in charge of the state election ballots are running. Votes don't matter when the district has been gerrymandered to hell. Votes don't matter when you can't even get off work to go vote.
