I mean, once your married, with property and children, you need to protect yourself in CA because they'll hold you up forever. I really feel for people who can't afford to get that trust done. Even without kids. When I realized what a cluster***** I’d leave for my family if the wife and I go we got it done. Just had it updated.

B-Man Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Teachers unions have abandoned our students by blocking reopening Washington Examiner, by Editorial Original Article Los Angeles County, the nation’s second-largest school district, announced this week that students will not be returning for in-person classes this fall and must instead continue to participate in the failed distance-learning experiment it initiated after the onset of COVID-19. This decision was made not by the parents or the schools but by the teachers union, which has opposed all attempts to reopen the county’s schools. United Teachers Los Angeles, which represents more than 35,000 teachers in the area, argued at first that the health of its members and the students they teach was the primary concern. How, they asked, would the schools be cleaned regularly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a guarantee that was 100% wrong, when I have stated in this thread multiple times I am a teacher. But on the new topic of American education system- where is our education system below standard and who is in charge of those areas? My son's school, which is public, literally has millionaires from other countries buy a home just to send their kids there since it is safer than the countries they come from and the education is excellent.

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.
