I am a high school teacher and have two kids in school, I know the system about as well as anyone here. It is amazing how the conservatives have caused 75% of the deaths to be in the dark blue areas, so please stop with your idiocy. Once again please keep making guarantees and promises since I know you have no clue. Wait, what is "the system?" High School systems all across your county? Your state? The country? The world? Just trying to figure this out because you've directly proclaimed you're the guy we all need to turn to in this discussion. Want to make sure I don't step on the toes of the Sultan of High School education. Edited July 18, 2020 by transplantbillsfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"More" And no. Back to school for me. I say school not work because I've been working this whole time anyway. It's what teachers do on their vacations, believe it or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure sounds like something a Russian bot like @Deranged Rhino probably came up with that while working for Cambridge Analitica with Brittany Kaiser during the campaign leading up to the 2016 election. You guys need to lay off Twitter and Facebook so much. You're being targeted. And I'm only half joking.... Maybe a quarter... Lay off Twitter and Facebook? Rarely use either.

Hope you enjoy the extra surfing. It's gonna be radical. You sound bitter. Or drunk. Or both, more likely. I live in Hawai'i, not North Carolina. Students are back August 4th.

I know I have life insurance in multiple forms that sets my wife up with plenty of money for the rest of their lives. But me not having those things would have jack squat to do with my credentials or ability to teach Expository writing and literature to Juniors and Seniors in High School. I don’t know this Jack Squat kid, but if he’s anything like the Squat kids in my hometown, he’s a bra-snapping-toilet-clogger and general troublemaker. I was probably a little harsh there. Many, many people don’t have a plan in place. My visceral response came from a place where I think some teachers and teachers organizations are utilizing the crisis as a hammer against the public they serve. I do not place you, or most in that category. That person struck me as soft and exploitative, apologies to that person if I misread them. Btw—the bra-snapping reference. In between classes in my sophomore year, there was the normal mayhem of kids moving about in a very busy school. As I got my books out to go to my Expository writing class (I was an advanced student), I was looking around and saw this teacher talking to a group of students and he put his hand on the shoulder of one girl, rubbed her neck for a couple seconds, slid his hand down her back and snapped her bra strap. I was a naive kid, not so much sheltered but just unworldly. I remember looking around like “HOLY CRAP WTF!!” as life went on around us. There were times it seemed like Thunderdome to me. Btw—I do not think that most teachers behave this way, do not think you would and simply included it because I can. I’m also a fibber, because I was not an advanced student, and I may have been on my way to lunch, chemistry or PE. You should have a will and HCP at a minimum. If you don’t outline your thoughts and plans when you can, The State likely figures it out on your behalf and you may not like their plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on O'ahu, the gathering place. You're an architect? Is that what you mean? What school did you design? Define "shoes." No one's showing up barefoot to school, but most people wear slippers (you'd know them as flip flops) year round. My first year of teaching I showed up to school for the first couple months in pants, nice shoes, and a long sleeved shirt with a tie. I soon realized I was way overdressed for the islands. Now I sometimes wear an Aloha shirt, khaki shorts and brown leather slippers to work and I'm plenty dressed up. It's definitely a different world from where I grew up. 8 hours ago, Buffalo Timmy said: The guy who argues with everyone and explains what an expert he is on all schools thing is calling me out.
