  • [CW NERD ALERT] I have no choice but to abandon my principled leftist position of hatred of the genocidal racist imperialist project known as Israel and support it.

  • I'm also skeptical - I think it's post-hoc justification for the reduction in special ed funding, since the cuts hit family services and SpEd first.

    this was also at a time when you didn't get diagnosed with shit if you had good grades.

  • The motivating idea is that giftedness is largely a function of SES and that the high cap kids should still get peer socialization rather than be kept separate, but when class sizes are in the mid 30s and she has to keep answering emails from parents who want to make sure their high cap kids are getting adequate enrichment it ends up being a massive headache.

  • Marijuana is banned because Mexican immigrants grew it to make money. Cocaine is banned because black dockworkers used it to stay awake. Nothing is banned if you're white and willing to pay for it.

  • Sounds like you need to get off the depressant game, meet yourself a nice, wholesome stimulant, and do the opposite of settle down.

  • Very true! Her school does mixed classes, so she has to come up with alternative work for the "high cap" kids while simultaneously providing additional attention to the kids that arrive to high school unable to write a full paragraph in a class period. The variability between classes in a given year also seems to be really big.

  • if you're allowed to choose what grades and what educational course you're teaching

    Big if. My partner teaches - blue state, great union and benefits - and based on her experience you couldn't get me in the classroom if the alternative was a pit of alligators, especially for red state conditions and pay. Admin is either overwhelmed, checked out, or incompetent, the school board continually pats itself on the back for decreasing their schools' resources in the name of nebulous 'savings', her courses change every year, she has to buy books and teaching materials herself. That's not even touching all of the behavioral issues she has to deal with on a daily basis.

    Granted, many of her colleagues, who have learned how to skate by doing the bare minimum and dumping a lot of work on the remaining teachers who actually care about the quality of instruction would probably say the job is pretty easy.

  • They probably have a union and a CBA with fantastic healthcare and retirement benefits,

    This varies pretty heavily depending on what state you're in

    They have access to loan forgiveness.

    Assuming that program, which is notoriously fickle, doesn't end at the whim of the federal government

    They have limited work obligations for a quarter of the year, on weekends, and public holidays.

    For elementary and middle school this is probably true. If you're teaching high school, you have to spend that time grading or prepping for the next year. There are also extracurricular activities, so during the school year you can easily run 60+ hour workweeks with effectively no downtime.

  • Weird that they'd cover it up; if it didn't cost them votes, there wouldn't be any point to scolding the left for refusing to accept the lesser genocide.
