@ThoughtSlime @Rookie_Chi I knew this because I teach South Carolina history and oh boy it’s fucking bleak. Like it’s hard not to just make the entire class about racism for all 180 days. Thanks for being open to learning new things, Mildo ✌️
@heathercampbell As a teacher, I’m thrilled that I can’t be trusted to teach appropriate lesson about race but now have to be the ability to be Robocop.
@zachheltzel FWIW, I’m a teacher. Literally our entire staff has gotten COVID, some twice. All my teacher friends at other schools got COVID. All age groups, all health conditions (asthmatic, pregnant, immunocompromised). We’re still alive. Not to downplay a million deaths but most survive.
Why should an ordinary citizen be able to purchase an assault weapon that holds 30-round magazines and fires hundreds of bullets in minutes?
The damage was so devastating in Uvalde parents had to do DNA swabs to identify remains of their 9- and 10-year old children.
Enough.
@soneall89@PartyFridge I respect the hell out of that decision.
I went into education *because* I believe the system is broken, not in spite of that belief. My hope is that one stubbornly compassionate rebel can make a difference. According to parents and students it’s working, but it’s exhausting.
@emilymayerSC @SCforEd DonorsChoose pages soon: “As a ten year teacher, I know students can’t learn if they don’t feel safe. That’s why the Browning Arms Company…”
@Lanie_Lou@Drnicolecb I agree. I’ve confronted a campus intruder when I taught in a really rough area. Turned out to be a parent who got very lost looking for the attendance office. But the thought crossed my mind. I didn’t think twice.
The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.
What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?
@RachelShukert @jamiroqueer In just 2-3 years, teachers were called selfish when we wanted to extend distance learning during COVID. We were accused of brainwashing with CRT. We were called groomers for treating LGBTQ kids as equal. And we are still risking our lives for this job while the cops wait outside
@apostleofFatima @Palladiium_ @__since1765 @RachelShukert @jamiroqueer The fact that you’re showing up—with over a dozen posts in this thread—just to be a rude troll is so sad. That’s so much of your finite time on earth you could use to uplift others.
Also, nurses have it hard too! Multiple people can struggle at once. Empathy isn’t a contest.
