It's vital that trumpkin be cast as the wolf in sheep's clothing that he is. We can't let him get away with appearing as a moderate republican on the national stage like he did in VA

This really needs to happen but I don't think there is the political will to do it, especially under trumpkin there is no way we are gonna take power away from suburbanites and give it to the city.

The city by and large isn't seeing additional tax revenue tho. The vast majority of new construction is in the surrounding counties so us living in the city are just going to choke on the added traffic without seeing any infrastructure upgrades.

There are no sides, there is just a bunch of bigots who wish they lived in the bronze age and then there is the rest of us who live in a society.

The only people who see rainbows as political are homophobes and bigots who don't view anyone who is slightly different from them as real people.

How do you even manage to take a message of equality and acceptance and call it a battle flag, like come on now.

Ooof that's really rough. It's sad how bad admin can completely ruin a school.
My recommendation to her is to prioritize herself and do the bare minimum required by contract. Do not give bad admin an inch more. She will have no trouble starting over somewhere else next year.

I am so sorry to hear of that but I am not surprised. One of the big reasons why I left was my constant fight with admin about disruptive abusive and downright violent students. Admin wouldn't do anything besides sending them to ISD (which was one big unregulated party) because they were so worried about these kids futures and the consequences of missing out on an education they clearly didn't give a shit about. But not even a thought was ever spared by admin for how having kids like these in an advanced class (which was not even strictly a requirement for graduation) was going to impact the students who were trying their best.

I am still teaching yeah. I was ready to call it quits on education as a whole but I got a job at my dream school where I am treated as a professional with expertise in my own field, admin is supportive and most importantly kids actually want to be here. Sadly this place is literally one in a million.

I've only ever met one teacher who was worried about getting in trouble over pronouns, and of course he was a climate change denier, antivax, pro-January 6th right wing nutjob.
The rest of us functioning human beings know that if you use the wrong pronoun by mistake all you do is apologize and move on.

Fun fact is that in America, low pay leads to low respect. People here are so enamored with money that if you'd just bump teacher pay up you'd see a lot more respect for the profession. It sure would be nice if my master's degree led to making more money starting out than a trades job that can be done straight out of high school.

Proud to be one of the teachers that escaped chesterfield, what a complete clusterfuck of a school system. The whole thing is propped up on the pretense of being a good district and just forcing teachers to pass everyone to maintain that image while belittling and infantilizing their own staff.
