@teachthemx3 Last week someone looking for a “tutor” messaged me. Her “home bound” child needed to finish a packet to pass 8th grade by the end of the day. She just wanted to pay me to do the packet for him. Nor work with him, or teach him, not even meet him. Just send me the packet and do it

@teachthemx3 That’s because the school gets fines from the fire department for false alarms. It’s about money.

@Her_Nonymous_D I’ve gotten on a flight to find someone sitting in my seat who pretended not to understand the flight attendant. He wasted about 10 minutes with his nonsense, holding up the entire flight and over 100 people waiting to board.

@0Beanie05923291 Or that the teacher that teaches frivolous things, with no work and kids just hanging out and playing, get the teacher of the year award and bonus.

@HippyMomPhD Yes!!! I’ve been saying this since I started teaching math!!!

@UnofficialOA Because you can accomplish soooo much with 5 out of 30 Kids. And the ones that show up don’t need help or extra credit 🤪

@MagistraResIpsa @JamesAFurey I homeschooled my kids for 8 years before becoming a public school teacher. Anyone can teach their own kid. Teachers have to know how to teach EVERY kid, manage 20-40 at the same time, keep extensive records, manage accommodations, deal with personality conflicts etc.

@teachthemx3 LOL, I’ve had pretty much the same conversation. This move to eliminate anxiety is severely undermining our children’s development

@ImJimR87 I spent 8 years homeschooling and 9 years teaching public school. What do you want to know? Personally, I wish I had homeschooled my kids all the way through. My teacher training was after I homeschooled and it was all about how to handle a room full of kids and do paperwork.

@BowtiedQueenBee I retired this year from being a math teacher and I agree! I taught high school so I didn’t have to be so picky. As long as it was mathematically correct, I let them do it.

@MrDanielBuck Amen!!!

@Matt_Pinner First I need to know the property tax, insurance, maintenance and utilities cost 😂

@Notwokenow Because we have a severe teaching shortage. So rather than increase pay and benefits or do anything about horrendous student behavior they just keep lowering the bar for what is required to become a teacher. I quit in June after teaching only nine years.

@dom_lucre Awesome ladies! I was an instructor for The Well Armed Woman for years. I’m conservative and this is fantastic!

@gregarizona @gunsnrosesgirl3 Same here! Total flood of childhood memories. So many family beach parties and teenage bonfires. I miss the old California 😢 My family was there before the gold rush as loggers and silver miners. 4th generation California born.
