Heading toward teaching shortages at this rate.

The teacher shortage is the plan. An uneducated public is easier to control

This is why running a company by pure metrics and thinking that this approach works well in all areas because "everything is a business" is fucking stupid

100% of the kids my age who became teachers bailed in 2 years or less. I knew I would never be one after seeing what happened to Mr. Webber (Jake maybe? He was in Indiana DM me if you know him) when I was in 8th grade. This was almost two decades ago but he took so much time to help everyone with math, and really cared about us I could tell. 

He was super energetic and happy in the beginning of the year but had some serious depression spells sometimes. Mid year or so we heard him getting chewed out in the hallway by some teacher no one liked about how he “can’t spend all day on a few kids” or something.

One day he was in a bad mood and someone said something mean to someone else and he slapped his desk really hard jolting everyone. He stood up and said “everyone right now blank piece of paper on your desk, write your name at the top, and get a pen in your pocket and get to the front of the class!” We all did and he told us to go to every desk and write at least one nice thing about that person who sits at that desk on their piece of paper. As we all did this he stood and told us all 3 nice things about every kid in that class as an example. 

He gave really sweet compliments too, didn’t phone them in, he really meant it. He mentioned every kid who did sports, he went to our games (mine was an away game that past week) “mistersanitation, I had no idea you could play football like that! You outran everyone on the whole field, it was awesome man!” I still think about him sometimes and hope he made it but also I sort of hope he found something else where his efforts and passion weren’t going to be snuffed out. 

Don’t worry ICE can teach the new Trump approved curriculum

I’d rather do literally anything other than deal with someone else’s badly raised child.

Pretty straightforward really. If there's a shortage of teachers there will be a shortage of learners and then a surplus of authoritarian regimes hanging you upside down by your butthole because you criticized the nutritional value of your yearly government sponsored McDonald's Big Mac stipend in front of a nanny cam.

I know a teacher still voting for Trump in these times. She is a racist and the fact that she is blaming her class sizes on POC is funny AF

They realized as far back as the Romans that an educated society is a better place to live. Not for the rich though.

Good news is there's a job lined up for all these kids. Bad news is it's in the Middle East.

Good news for all these teachers is there's new jobs coming. Ɓad news is that's sluicing out sex robots.

We were little shits in high school too, but the worst thing we did to irritate teachers was yelll "IM RICK JAMES BITCH" in crowded hallways. I don't recall ever driving one to tears or getting one to quit.
