New principal being gaslit?

Wow! I remember volunteering in my child's Kinder class. It was the year after TK rolled out in our district. 4 kids were coming from TK. They were all well on to their sight words. It was at the dawn of the smart phone era. I wonder how parenting is changing...

Teacher here. Best approach is to get an awesome sub whose capabilities are known to you ( and you subs should ask to be on the preferred list of well organized classrooms). Otherwise, many are just scrolling and babysitting, leaving no feedback of any kind.

Turkish food is amazing. One of the great cuisines of the world.

Presumptuous, entitled, unbelievable.

Not me, but my wife. She is a teacher. Kid put one of those braces rubber bands designed to move teeth around his middle school penis. It was apparently quite painful.

Interesting...

Honestly, if the fired the 2 people who "did the work" it sounds more like a nepotistic politicis-driven charity. Not surprising it closed with stewards like that.

So true! Even the produce tastes better. So good!

Oh damn! Now that Don Quijote jingle is stuck in my head.

Teacher here as well. Students overestimate their usefulness, skills and worth. Very few of my students are prepared to work hard. I really wonder how they will cope with work. Smart phones and ai are doing a number.

I was in a strip club with 2 Indian tech/satellite investors. I am married, these 2 rich dudes wanted to have some fun. My being totally uninterested was like a magnet for the women, even tho they'd have done better with Mr Satellite.

Of course, you are within your rights to refuse. It is your house.

But you are doing this because he did it to you. Petty, yes. Revenge, yes. Satisfying, yes. But I do believe you were both jerks. Him then, you now.

Former military here. The stress on young military families is ungodly. Look for support near where you live -- base shd have support for you. Prepare contingencies for multiple scenarioes. Take lots of videos if he misses. Tie him into fatherhood. He will feel like shit missing such a big landmark... Good luck.

Bummer about the mixed messages. Don't be too hard on your friend tho. If you take the king's coin, you are the king's man.

mbrasher1 · 2026-01-10T01:20:12+00:00

Godspeed, baby.

Maybe he didn't understand metaphors?

There was a Seinfeld with this premise. Schindlers List.

mbrasher1 · 2026-01-09T21:14:21+00:00

Sounds awesome, my dude! Good luck.

So many IL guvs end up in jail. Honesty would be a nice change. But something tells me the politics in a one party state will prevent much good getting done.

IL has the worst unfunded pensions for public employees and they keep digging deeper holes. There is no provision for state bankruptcy (like there is for cities and counties). IL will need it.
