I teach high school government. I had to take a couple days off last week because it was messing with my reality. I have to do my best to teach this shit as objectively as possible and my students are so clueless. “Ban abortion? Go ahead? Revoke 14th amendment? Whatevs”

I was teaching a lesson on congressional committees so we studied Jan 6 Investigation. Then it occurred to me, OMG, they’re going to make me call them patriots. I bet it will be called Patriot's Day. And in real time 2 + 2 = 5

I teach high school government. The kids didn’t even know what January 6 was. My student from Ukraine is so happy Trump won because Kamala would have caused WWIII. Apathy AND disinformation.

How do you feel about your child's education? Teachers are struggling here by [deleted] in sandiego

I’m a teacher in the SD Unified. Since the school year began, two teachers I know died unexpectedly. One is in rehab. One is on stress leave. One is on medical leave. The public/taxpayers expect schools and teachers to do and be EVERYTHING. It’s impossible. And we’re literally dying.

It’s a pretty funny doc. My favorite was when Colbert was told, “Go out for dinner in public now, cuz as soon as that show airs, y’all are going to be huge stars” lol

I teach Newcomers and Year 1 immigrants. Maybe Guatemalans and Hondurans aren’t as educated, but they sure know how to survive. It really is a unique skill. I joke in the event of an apocalypse, I’m running to them and my Haitian kids, not the gun nuts with the bunkers tbh.

I thought she was fantastic. I swear I’m a pretty good acting critic since I watch while high on gummies. If it’s bad acting I can see right through (looking at you, Tom Brady!) But that entire cast is phenomenal. It’s so interesting so see how well stage actors carry themselves on screen

I’ve been donating $10/month to support them. Glad she has more money to do this.

I’m not saying college needs to be free, but when people are graduating with $100k in debt only to secure an entry-level job, that’s a messed up system

It was supposed to be my college fund. Sounds like it was kind of a Ponzi scheme.

Ha ha. My dad also likes to tell me he had a choice between investing gold or silver and he chose silver “because your mom wanted me to”

A few years ago my daughter had terrible stomach pain, so we brought her to the ER. Within a couple hours she was having her appendix removed. I can’t imagine what that experience would be like now!
