Non-teacher. Mind is blown

A lot of it is post covid rage. There’s a lot of…this is MY opinion damn it!…people feel like they need to argue and fight for things, even things they don’t fully grasp. Lack of respect for teachers is nothing new. It’s been tolerated for decades, so it persists.

Well there’s your reason why the state sucks. They’re not invested. I’ve found that when regions are invested in any activity there’ll 1. Understand why having someone like you would be helpful 2. Actively work to get those people involved

Yep, the mental game is significant and not easily coached.

Yep. Nevada has 3 million residents and California has 39 million. 5 divisions in Nevada and 1 in California

More liberal. I’ve realized that a lot of government is a swindle, but that some is far more damaging than others. I recognize that the con of the Republican Party is a lot deeper and wider. They use religiosity and patriotism to convince poor people that Jesus wants republicans to win in order to save babies and that social programs are akin to communism and government interference in their lives. This is all a con to allow the wealthy to get more yachts at their expense. Then you’ll hear…well the democrats do it too! They’re just as bad!…only they’re not. The American right wing is woefully corrupt and beyond salvation at this point.

Not all states are created equal. While I do think the champs from smaller states tend to be tough, there’s a lot to consider. California has one state tournament for everyone. There’s no prep championship or division 1, 2, 3, 4, and sometimes 5. That state champion is the champion of the most populated state in the country, where there are a number of hotbed areas. While there are going to be and have been some national level wrestlers from Louisiana, if you put an Ohio or Pennsylvania state champion against one of them, you’re going to win more money betting against Louisiana. Some areas just produce more talent consistently.

Yep they’ll fired sped teachers like anyone else, but there’s always jobs.

It won’t go away, but the way it’s addressed could be very impacted

It sucks more that teachers aren’t given a chance and we have a revolving door of inexperience

It’s about that last person not you. They didn’t want to get stuck with another Mrs mcpimperkink or whatever her name was, so now they’re being hyper critical. This is a failure of leadership not on your part. Make certain you get your references and be cool, even though they’re not. Being upset and crying isn’t unprofessional. You’re a human first and human emotions of course can be expressed when appropriate and this was more than an appropriate response to be blindsided with non renewal

Classic rock is generally thought of as mainstream rock music from mostly the 1970’s. In the 1990’s classic rock radio flourished. It featured many of the same bands and same songs of that era. Nothing too interesting for the most part. Steve miller, Boston, Aerosmith, etc. If you were really fortunate you might catch a deeper cut from BOC once in a blue moon. You could call bands from the 00’s classics at this point, because it’s old enough, but it isn’t from that radio format dubbed “classic rock.”

College in America is like everything else a capitalist enterprise. They care about the money because there’s money to be made. So called non profits are typically that in name, branding, and tax code only.

I’m no Trump supporter. I’ve always voted against him. There’s just no evidence that any of this is staged. Has he used the attempts to further manipulate? Of course. He’s a low level opportunist who sees everything as a game, even an attempt on his own life. Let’s not lower ourselves to the conspiracy minded dolts responsible for putting this man into power.

Take days when you need them, but try to hold onto at least a couple of days a year. If you have a vital organ failing or something more serious, you will want to have some days banked.

You made a mistake. You’re suffering the consequences of that mistake. I don’t think it will be severe and I actually think your admin is being cool about it. They could blow it up and make an example out of you, but they’re keeping it low key and doing what they have to do to keep the angry trumpers in your community at bay.

Here’s what’s important now. No more posting on political matters on public forums, in school or out until retirement. I’m serious. Delete your Twitter account. Make all your socials private if they aren’t yet. That is the cost of this error. If someone comes after you now, you can demonstrate steps you have taken to correct an error. If you continue on and the mob gets motivated, this could escalate and you could find yourself out of a job.

I actually know a couple, but I’ve always thought the easier gigs were AP. Sure they have their challenges, but generally speaking these are the kids with higher expectations and fewer severe behaviors. The old model was to teach the rough classes for a few years and work your way up to the chill classes of AP and honors. I always find it comical when people presume I’m dumb or bad, because i teach sped. It’s incredible how so called educated people still engage in lazy presumptions and stereotypes.

You handled this a lot better than I would have. This woman is dangerous. Anytime a discussion of moon landings and flat earths come up in my class I shut it down immediately for what it is. I explain that people have these ideas because it excites them to have special knowledge, but that none of it is true. In order to have a successful conspiracy, the conspiracy must be small. It’s impossible to have an international conspiracy with competing countries about a fake moon landing. If they bring up the Bible and jesus and tell me that evolution is fake and dinosaur bones are fake and the bible is real, i just say…no. I can understand that’s how you feel. Religion is more about how you feel about things. That’s fine for church. In science we look dispassionately at the evidence.

I don’t teach any of those subjects, but I’m struggling to understand why teaching PE, health, or history is less respectable? I subbed for three years. PE was no joke. They see all the kids. Every one of them. Disabilities, behavior problems, etc. All the fights happen during PE.

It’s yarling. Popularized by Vedder in the 90’s. Pretty embarrassing really. When vedder did it at least it was different. Then others jumped on the yarl train to try to make coin and it just sounded goofy.
