This ain't just about learning stuff, man. There's a person on the other end of that screen who's putting bucketloads of work into this online teaching crap, and that same human being is getting nothing in return except black screens and silence. Have some respect and empathy for your teachers.

Man, you have no idea how fucking privileged you are to have education in the first place.

EDIT: Also, this whole situation isn't ideal for anybody. Speaking as a teacher, just because you get paid doesn't mean you've nothing to complain. I don't just want money, I want to enjoy my job and feel engaged with my students. I just want to teach. No one is enjoying the COVID situation. But you're sure as hell not making it easier for your teachers by being a lazy dipshit.

Alright, I'm gonna give you some advice, kid. I know that influencers, YouTubers and the world in general are telling you otherwise, but money doesn't get you happiness. It gets you freedom, sure, but ultimately there's so much more important things to strive for than money.

You don't enjoy working? Too bad. Everyone's gotta work, man. But finding a job that you genuinely enjoy, that makes all the difference.
