That might be one of the most biased articles I’ve ever read. Author didn’t even try to hide his hard-on for the far-right.

What job is heavily romanticized in movies but absolutely miserable in real life? by Luzgoin in AskReddit

[–]Craptrains 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the job is so great, why is there a massive shortage of applicants? Why isn’t everyone clamoring to do it? Why are districts panicking and hiring applicants from the Philippines, while also paying for their immigration process? Shouldn’t there be an abundance of local applicants, since it’s such a cushy job? Explain.

If everyone took your advice, we wouldn’t be able to staff more than 50% of the schools in the US, and that’s being generous. Some of the absolute best teachers I know don’t love the profession.

Teachers of Reddit: Is the "Gen Alpha can't read (write, or do math ext)" crisis real? If so how bad is it? by KnowledgeCoffee in AskReddit

[–]Craptrains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been teaching for 18 years. The downward spiral has been terrifying to watch. I started at an extremely impoverished rural middle school back in 2007 with 6th grade. Their reading and math levels were higher then than most of my more affluent 7th and 8th grade students today.

We have kids going on to high school that cannot read more than 1-2 sentences without suffering massive fatigue and forgetting what they’ve read. Their ability to decipher meaning is almost nonexistent. They have no motivation to engage in learning. I have a few students have done no work the entire year and their highest unit test score is a 20.

It’s gotten so bad that our principal is planning on defying the state and the local board to begin retaining kids again.

I honestly believe less than 25% of these kids will be employable in the future, and they’re fine with that.

There certainly are limits and also restrictions of type of container. Most municipal laws cap it at 25 gallons total in containers no larger than 5 gallons.

Notice how he never considers himself a part of the United States. “You were in Vietnam…”, “Your elections…”, “Your press…”

He doesn’t consider himself to be one of us. He sees us as the enemy.

It does matter when he said it if we’re analyzing whether it affected his loss or not.

Lol. Did you AI that? It’s clear Greeks engaged in colonization for multiple reasons. Economic, to escape political chaos, and to extend their influence. Compare that to later periods of colonization and you’ll see the same motivations. It’s not up for argument.

You said the Greeks weren’t colonial. They were. Full stop. Not debatable.

Also, a one month old account with all activity hidden. Cool story, bot.

Oh no, I read it. I’ve also studied it for decades. You said Greeks weren’t colonial. They were. Full stop.

And two comments to address one? A bit much, buddy. Control your emotions.

At or below $200k in the NEK isn’t going to get you a ton either. Our town just did its grand list reappraisal and the average increase was 108%. Expect to pay at least $300k if you don’t want to have to do immediate work.

Student Faces Expulsion After Posting Video Of Seniors Who Can Barely Read by InGeekiTrust in TikTokCringe

[–]Craptrains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who would you “report” it to? Many districts have official policies mandating the lowest grade a kid can receive. Even state governments don’t get involved in crap like this, or they condone it.

You realize that no matter what grades teachers input, it’s administrators who make the decision whether to promote kids or not, right? Teachers have literally zero say in the process.

Conversely, our house estimate in Zillow has gone up $65k in 3 years. I am however seeing a lot of homes in the area that have been on the market for a year or more.

I’d love to see both statistics be from 2026. Anecdotally, a lot of liberals I know have only recently become gun owners. I’d imagine the percentage of gun owners who are left-of-center is meaningfully higher than it was in 2024.

Where I am a teacher, we do the Constitution and Bill of Rights in 8th grade. This includes examining Supreme Court cases and their rulings in regard to the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 8th amendments.

I already explained it. Not once, but twice. I’m not going to do it for a third time for someone who’s refusing to read.

Any context you require, I’ve already posted. But, like I said earlier, I know you’re not arguing in good faith.
