Weeney Whiney Woe Warning!
Needs a few years in the Scottish Regiments.
My non-snowflake sister taught for 35 years, kids with learning disabilities. It actually was a tough job. The school system viewed her students as losers, they dumped kids into her class who weren’t truly disabled in order to brag about the teacher-student ratio in other classes.
She had to turn in individual lesson plans for each student versus just one lesson plan for a class. She was harassed about using too much copy paper to the point she went to Staples and paid for copies herself. She stayed late, took work home, bought a lot of supplies herself. She still loved the job.
If you’re going to be a good teacher, it will be tough.
“When I first read the story, I wondered if Mr Ledsham was being serious. But he appears to be genuinely shocked that he sometimes had to work after watching the football.
Still, since Mr Ledsham is only 22, perhaps he can be excused a little naivety.
But I think his story is part of a bigger trend, reflecting the values of a generation who have been taught to shun the world, rather than to embrace it, and seeing themselves as victims, rather than as doers.
You have probably read about the emergence of a ‘snowflake’ generation in our universities, who take offence at the slightest provocation, demand ‘trigger warnings’ before classes and campaign to have supposedly racist statues torn down.
But these students have not sprung into life from nowhere. They are the products of a wider culture of self-indulgent victimhood, not just in our schools, but in millions of homes.
And now, of course, they are growing up. They are not just schoolchildren with scrubbed faces, or students suffused with moral indignation.
They are now becoming parents themselves, passing on their sense of entitlement to the next generation. ...”
This kid is better off working at his local Starbucks and living on cereal and peanut butter sandwiches.
It’s inevitable here too. The oldest millennials will be eligible age wise to run for President in 2020.
For starters, Ledsham ‘suffers’ from laziness, a selfish sense of entitlement, and the kind of stupidity that imagines that money grows on trees.
Wear an fire proof suit and helmet...dance up to the furnace with a pipe and shoot oxygen at the plaug to start the molen iron flow.
Our furnace was a lot bigger than the one shown above...I remember each run was several hundred tons.
