A long thread for nobody:

Where the US economy is now and where it seems to be going according to me, an amateur who is not an economist.

[Link @LinkTeaches]

But hey, they really told them dang teachin' ladies what's up!

Cool, now go sign your kid who can't read or do math out of ISS. Again.

I was the most senior engineer in my time zone at the 2nd largest drilling co in NA, on call 24/7, working jobs that lasted sometimes months of 100+ hour weeks, 7 days a week til the job was done.

Teaching 7th graders was exponentially harder and more stressful.

@jenteach13 Have you ever had another full time job besides teaching? I ask, cuz the real world is hard. I've worked 2nd & 3rd shift jobs most of my life. I now work 1st shift in a HS. I don't pretend to know everything teachers put up with. But it doesn't seem bad compared to a lot of jobs

They're so mad that we can't make their kids turn out better than them, and so afraid that we might pull it off.

So they just slander and cry and shout about things they dont understand until their kids are conditioned to be as bitter and intellectually useless as them.

@Asdfgfd48192872 @HelpATeacher You're not, though.

[Link @LinkTeaches]

@missycp9 @HelpATeacher Just because your work situation sucks doesnt mean everyone else should accept a situation that sucks. You and them should all be paid for OT.

"What did you learn about teaching in Japan?"

Saying "humans are humans" is such a cliche-sounding, hard thing to explain.

[Restoring Your Faith in Humanity @HumanityChad]

Years ago at a Washington State music festival, one man danced alone on a grassy hill while others glanced, laughed, and his roommate warned he was being filmed.

@SciInTheMaking In reality the options are more like 50K with major behavior issues or 55K with minimum behavior issues, and everyone flees the worse school with lower pay ASAP.

[Link @LinkTeaches]

@TradamWest @Jordan_C_Adams Also came to defend Maus 🤝

[Link @LinkTeaches]

@tailbouncer Teachers have almost zero power over how public education is run. The parents vs teachers thing is such a psyop. Should both be lighting torches together to run legislators out of office.

@KrisXX1212 I love that another person is out here randomly crawling the internet for Voynich posts.

[Link @LinkTeaches]

Accidentally stayed up until 3AM reading about the Voynich Manuscript. Again.

Nothing has changed since the last time I stayed up until 3AM reading about it.

[Link @LinkTeaches]

@ChristusCheezit I 100% searched poverty demographics when applying this round. I dont want to work in a perfect school that doesnt need me, but I don't want to work in a morass where I'm just working riot control, either.

[Link @LinkTeaches]

Almost every class I had in Japan was right at 36 (the most desks my school could fit in a room). No issues. But also not 28 IEPs and helicopter moms.

35 in the US might as well be 135.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

No classroom in America should have more than 20 students. Period.

[Link @LinkTeaches]

Easy: You raised your kids on a tablet with nothing but videos and never read to or with them. They fell behind in elementary and you didn't listen to us about intervention, then it became impossible for us to catch them up without remediation, which you also refused.

[Mary J. Ruwart Ph.D. @MaryRuwart]

No one can make this mess make sense.

[Link @LinkTeaches]

@potatospectrum @Tom_the_Cynic @reddit_lies "So essentially if something hasn't been your direct experience it doesn't exist?" You said this with a straight face while waving away the experience of almost every teacher, because you think...what, having been a student qualifies you to know what teachers experience?

[Link @LinkTeaches]

@Tamias1000 @reddit_lies I envy the electives teachers. They were smart to choose subjects that (presumably) students choose to take.

[Link @LinkTeaches]

@Tamias1000 @reddit_lies It would definitely vary by state and grade level. For my state, we're doing end of year stuff through June, school prep and year start in August. July is "off" but that's actually unpaid time, as you (but apparently no one else) know from your friends.
