      Good educators are a rare and dying breed. Unfortunately probably a lot who either openly or secretly harbour similar feelings.

        The good ones usually quit before they get tenure. They don’t get paid nearly enough for all the shit they put up with.

          yeah, I know all customer facing jobs have big cons, and working fast food isn’t easy by any means, but I see McDonald’s hiring ads and sometimes I wonder, 25% raise and far less likely to get bit? almost tempting. I would probably still have to talk to people as if they are children.

        That was, thankfully, a substitute teacher. Which means they don’t necessarily have any education in education.

        Thats not to say there aren’t scumbags just like them as full time employees, just noting not a regular teacher in that case.

        there are many more fully resisting each purge attempt. shits getting dark af right now, but dispair cannot be an option.

        get out and find community. I did a thing two days ago. stopped by one of the only houses in my neighborhood that openly opposed the trump collective before the election. let them know I (and my fam) were here if they needed anything. we shared ideas and history. face to face. in realtime. and we will be checking up on each other moving forward.
