really not here for the “if it’s true” bullshit.
read the whole article. read how the college kept it quiet. read the physical state that girl was in after the fact.
colleges LOVE to sweep shit under the rug, especially surrounding athletes. it’s the norm.
cut him now.
I love the Buffalo Bills. I bleed red, white & blue. That doesn’t even need to be said. But, it is going to be VERY difficult, damn near impossible to root for this team if they keep Matt Araiza on the roster. Do the right thing, and cut him. Like yesterday.
I’ve spent 10 months as the #1 Matt Araiza supporter. I helped bring him to public attention, nicknamed him “Punt God” and enthusiastically cultivated a fandom around him.
Cut him ASAP. Easy call. He could kick it 1000 yards, and I would not care. He should not play in the NFL.
@JenCanLav @MenyaraC @RonFilipkowski@GovStitt It wasn’t an “Arabic slur to a white chick.” It was a statement that the numerals we use (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) are Arabic numerals. Wow 😳.
@raniawrites@OLimpossible Still empathic to the child, but not to you as you pivot into generalized teacher-bashing.(The same teacher-bashing contributing to qualified, trained teachers quitting in droves leaving children at the mercy of any rando with a hs diploma the district can get to show up to sub.)
@AjDroba @annarkea @carabreac@raniawrites Some subs are great and the job is hard and underpaid, but the bar that must be cleared to get hired is on the floor right now: out of desperation, many districts hiring ANYONE with a high school diploma to sub. Anyone.
@AjDroba @annarkea @carabreac@raniawrites According to OP, it was a substitute teacher, not a teacher on the child’s team. So maybe lay off the teacher-bashing. (The same teacher-bashing contributing to qualified teachers quitting in droves, leaving districts with little choice than to hire anyone with a pulse to sub.)
@LeticiaTrower@loowit The asynchronous format is irrelevant. You expect the teacher to dedicate 15 minutes per child per semester to this endeavor? That’s ~70 hours of the teacher’s time per year. Hope you’re willing to comprise quality of instruction and meaningful feedback bc time is finite.
@readmoreyall @StrawVagetarian@CMattern21@MoniseLSeward @MrsTamez4 Sounds awesome, creative, kid-friendly, and fun! Keep doing the good work you’re doing. Ignore the detractors who speak from arrogant ignorance.
@BilingualBridge @larakrepps @heymrsbond The teachers are probably mostly (all?) out legitimately sick. And the principal should be able to attend the wedding of his/her family member/friend without your condemnation or expectation of his/her martyrdom. This take is gross.
@heymrsbond Have them change the time frame of the sentence. E.g. If it’s currently in present tense, have them say it the way it would be if it had already happened. The only word that changes when they do this is the verb. The subject is the person, place, or thing doing that action.
@julieebeyt @cd_hooks The whole book is the Great American Novel calling bullshit on the American Dream. (But also ends by essentially saying we’ll all keep chasing anyway.)
@julieebeyt @cd_hooks Generally agree about the characters but I also don’t think you’re necessarily supposed like any of them. But if the quest Gatsby (a rich, white man) is on to join the top tier of American society is hopeless, then how much more out of reach is it for the rest of us. 1/2
