@teachthemx3@penkokoo Classes are larger but the student:teacher ratio is similar. They have larger classes but teach fewer classes and have extensive time for planning, grading, pd, etc.
@JBradshaw01 I live in the same community, a 7 minute walk to my classroom. The kids walk home and ride scooters and bikes past my house. It’s really nice. Early in my career I had a commute of over an hour each way.
@samswoora Middle school teacher here! That hits. nerve, there’s nothing easy about what we do. No need to minimize our extremely demanding profession in misdirected resentment over a broken housing system.
@SpaetzleCoatl@delbigtree No need for pity, we would take to the spiral staircase or floor in front of the fireplace as needed. I assure you co-sleeping with our babies did not harm our sex lives.
@educator4ever36 Ouch! Survival is a pretty low bar for what we want for kids! Adequate hydration helps students learn, focus, and stay healthy. I spent a lot of time thirsty in class in the 90’s and wouldn’t want my kids or students to go back to that!
wait, still disappointed but…wicked for good, right? I feel like there’s something philosophical going on here. Maybe another margarita will help me understand.
@Blosept1 Gauley fest, 2020. Rafts and kayaks pulled over watching the action at Sweets Falls. Our raft is on top of the rock (Postage Due) with two others stacked on top of it.
