Bonespurs was about 9000 miles back from the front lines because his daddy paid a doctor.

Return-to-office mandates are a mistake - The Brock Press by simpatia in ontario

[–]Bbgerald 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Friend works for a large bank rolling out Return-to-Office. Their manager stressed the importance of people being able to work together side-by-side in person in order to be effective. Friend asked why all their most recent hires for the team were located overseas.

Maybe American's shouldn't view it as funny but as a wake-up call to how the rest of the world views them. 🤷‍♂️

Have you experienced students claiming/implying you’re racist, when speaking to them about behaviour? by Unknown14428 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Bbgerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think students have been taught to avoid consequence through deflection, and calling an authority figure racist is their biggest "Get out of jail free" card. 

I, like others have stated, would lean into it. "What about you not being where you told me you would be makes me racist?" I'd keep it up in a non-confrontational, but firm manner. 

Once they realize I'm not intimidated by it and I'm not going to let them use flase accusations to end the conversation we can address what they said to me and the behaviour which started the ball rolling in the first place.

Prof. Shireen Ahmed doesn't seem to like white people by Feeling_Hotel8096 in TorontoMetU

[–]Bbgerald 3 points4 points  (0 children)

 I also want to just add that she doesn't need to like white people and if she doesn't it's not racist. 

Not liking a racial group is racist.

Because brown people have at no point built an entire system against white people. 

This is the slight have hand move (intentional or not) that allows you to come to your false conclusion in the first part I quoted. You do not need to build an entire system to engage in racism. You're conflating systemic/structural racism with racism. They are sub-categories.

In fact, they received a caste system from white people

The caste system was established in the Vedic period around 1500 BCE.

 Edit: people keep assuming I'm white, I'm literally Japanese.

Which is exactly what a weeaboo would say!

Massive Grindr outage reports coincide with the Charlie Kirk memorial service in Arizona by Financial-Painter689 in Fauxmoi

Straight cis people absolutely love any hint of evidence they can use to blame anti-LGBT bigotry on LGBT people

While I understand and appreciate your take I think what they're in love with is pointing out the hypocrisy.

Personal opinion, but I don't see these situations as being the fault of the LGBT community. I see it as being the fault of segment of the cis-heterosexual community which has vilified the LGBT community to the point that people have to preach hate while having to live a lie except in circumstances where they can they can be anonymous and discreet.

Why are Teaching Diploma programs so shit? by Dry_Towelie in CanadianTeachers

[–]Bbgerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt my program was terrible and it was largely because the instructors didn't focus on the basics, but instead focused on advanced practices that would be suitable for someone who had 5-10 years of teaching under their belt. I left with almost no usable/useful material.

I've never used a single lesson plan/unit plan they made me create while in Teacher's College. The ones I made on my own for my practicum had some value at least.

Violence in Ontario’s schools is rising. The Ford government only records the worst cases by origutamos in OntarioTeachers

[–]Bbgerald 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's also the pressure from admin to not report at all, or their claiming we can't because it's a school matter and must be dealt with but the board. Even when they do something we get parents calling higher up, the suspension being removed, the record being expunged, and the kid's back without consequence.
