Today, at my job as a fourth grade teacher, I realized that most of my students have far nicer and more expensive phones than I can afford. FML

What the **** kind of ****** up country do you live in where the average elementary school teacher only makes $51,000 a year, but the average professional baseball player earns $3.2 million? Which is more important? Which is more influential? My daughter's teacher is one of the most important people in her life right now.

I didn't even get a phone until I was in Senior year in High School. Even then I just had it for emergencies. Also, its not because I'm old and phones weren't common at my time. I graduated in 2011.

This just makes me ashamed of my generation and future generations.

I got my first phone in sixth grade because I walked home from school.

In my grades 1 through 7, I wasn't allowed to use a calculator, cellphones did not exist (commercially at least) at the time...

As someone who doesn't get four months off per year (but can afford any phone I want) allow me to say "Ha Ha Ha". If you want to be a ditch digger, don't be mad at those who can do better.
