Thanks, I’d like to end up somewhere that isn’t like playing fucking Russian Roulette. I’ll take one of those Nordic countries where everyone’s got enough, they pay teachers like doctors, and people actually care about science.

I’m upvoting, not because I agree, but because this is probably the least popular opinion on this thread, and I commend you for taking such a stance.

Pizza and weed sounds like a good business model, tbh

It’s like when someone tells me something is unbreakable. It becomes my mission to come up with a way of breaking it.

Maybe… Maaaaaayyyyyyybeeeee the Democrats need to nominate someone who is actually worth getting excited about instead of just being not-Trump.

Teaching as a profession sucks ass in general right now… but at least a lot of the special educator-specific bullshit is not my problem anymore. But thank you.

Someone told me that if I wanted to be a history teacher I should get a degree in special Ed to “make myself more marketable.” It took 14 years to get out of special education and land a job teaching history

There are, in fact, no products in that empty drawer. I promise I’m not hiding them from you, ma’am.

History teacher here. If this was turned in to me, rhe first thing I’d do is laugh, then have a conversation with the student. If s/he says they’d be ok with me emailing a copy of this to their parents (I’m assuming the parents speak Chinese), then I’d just give them an A for pure gall. If the kid isn’t from a Chinese-speaking family, I’d probably still give him/her kudos and then make them turn in whatever they put into Google translate to begin with. But really, this is the kind of malicious compliance I wish my students had the creativity to pull off.
