No. Just red dot scopes.
Zero. But goddamn if some of them don't need it. Honestly, the parents are the ones that need to be taken behind the woodshed.
There are about five that wood get it. One way more than the others. She's a RL 8.5.
1. Just about got in a fist fight outside the front office with a dad (on the sex offender list, no less) who got in my face and insinuated the bruises on his child's arm were from us. Thankfully, our SRO happened to pull up and dude apparently didn't want a few more years in jail.
Usually button-down dress shirt and pants (a tie 1-2 times a week). I wear a lot of nylon and light fitting stuff because it breaths easier, looks good, and requires less maintenance. Fridays it is jeans and a t-shirt.
At the end of the day, my job is helping kids or helping teachers help kids. Can it be stressful? Absolutely. But, I would rather work around kids than adults. At least kids I can forgive for being shit heads. That being said, I spent a combat tour in Iraq, so my definition of stressful is way different than most of my female staff. You really can't beat getting hugs and smiles from the kids. Plus, I get to wear super hero suits, wigs, and goofy ties.
No, but I did absolutely destroy the staff restroom the morning after having a bunch of Taco Bell. It was the kind of horrendous shit that you stay in the bathroom ten minutes after you are done to let the stink go away and some extra flushes to get rid of the skid marks in the toilet. On the flip side, I walked in the bathroom one afternoon and I knew who had just taken a shit in there by the terrible body odor this older teacher has. Just walked right back out and had a much more peaceful shit after the students dismissed.
Police don't give a damn. Hardly any of the local businesses require it. Walmart doesn't even care. We wear them because the state still has a mandate in place and the county doesn't want to assume the liability of going against it. That being said, the state legislature is GOP controlled and it looks like they are putting an end to the state mandate at the end of March. After that, I assume our county and Board of Education will drop the mask BS.
It's a wide spread (like most professions). We have some really good teachers that perform miracles in the classroom with the kids they have (we are a Title 1 district, lots of rural poverty). We also have teachers who aren't there one minute more than their contract dictates. Not surprisingly, the teachers that are big with the NEA, and all their bullshit, are the worst.
We're K-2, so I would surely hope not with any students here. However, there was a teacher (she was 45) at the middle school who was boning some kid right after he graduated. Technically, the district couldn't do anything about it since he was no longer a district student, but it was really awkward for the district and the community.
The food is provided by the federal government "free" of charge this year, so not really. The fiestada pizza is decent (that octagonal one). Some of the breakfast stuff is alright. Most of it is meh, for lack of a better term. Had a kid empty his guts yesterday puking all over the place, including on one of our paras and a substitute teacher. I still can't believe how much puke came out of that little kid!
Small town I grew up in still had corporal punishment in school into the late 80s. Not surprisingly, there was relatively little fuckery going on in the classroom. Also not surprisingly, any little shithead that decided to engage in fuckery in the classroom and got paddled at school got their ass busted at home once the parents found out their little shithead got paddled at school.
1st of all...there is NO Square pizza....schools have rectangular and the Awesome fiestada Octagonal. You should refer to @ilDonaldoTrumpo for an explanation on f the fiestada pizza awesomeness!
Intresting. My SIL is also ex military and did a tour in Iraq. She met my BIL in the guard.
I'd like a follow up on your state experience if you think of it. State of IN is lifting the mandate April 6th and I expect nothing will change this school year. It's highly likely my county will maintain a mandate.
No. Fairly sure the superintendent and board members would get death threats if they tried that.
Absolutely none. We still say Merry Christmas, learn about pilgrims and indians, say the pledge, and read Dr. Seuss.
82% white, 8% hispanic, 5% black, 5% bi-racial or something
Our kids have to wear masks. As I said before, we're hoping that ends in a few days. At least by the April board meeting. Cases in my county have been pretty low (30s at the high water mark, back to single digits now). Our kindergarten classes have always had their desks in small groups. The classrooms are too small to space them out. Even in the first and second grade classes the desks are only about 3-4 feet apart. Our community has been very supportive because we stated early our goal was 100% in class for the full year.
Partly because schools are having to provide more and more basic supplies that used to be provided by parents. A lot of those fundraisers help keep staff from spending money out of their pocket, something I tell them I am adamantly against. If they need something for their students, we'll move money around creatively. I don't like my staff paying for things themselves.
Fine with me. Neutering teacher's unions would be the best solution. In my experience, NEA teachers are the worst. They aren't in it for the students are no where to be seen once contract time is over. If I suck at my job, the board members non-renew me. I don't see why it should be different for anyone else. Too many ineffective teachers hiding under the NEA's umbrella (and too many superintendents afraid to go toe-to-toe with the NEA).
How much extra is it for the chocolate milk versus plain?
