This tweet explains everything.

Teacher salaries so low a payday loan is the answer?

Lack of adequate funding to provide school supplies?

A misplaced emphasis on standardized test scores?

A desperate need for proper funding to help vulnerable kids?

This ad is THE ENTIRE problem with public education and the value society has been/is currently willing to place on our children.

IF we valued kids and outcomes for kids, THIS WOULDN’T BE A THING.

Ok, rant over. See tweet:

This is an ad in which a teacher expresses his gratitude for a payday loan app because it allows him to buy his students the school supplies needed to get good scores on a standardized test to receive Federal funding since his salary is too small.

It is meant to be inspirational pic.twitter.com/JNOR0GkYuX
