They won't at first. But I have seen absolute flamers survive. It's a matter of hanging in there for 3-4 years with your teeth gritted until you become a known entity. When kids start telling their little brothers and sisters, "Oh you got Mr. G for history this year? Yeah, I had him. He's okay." It starts to get easier.

Yeah, you have a point. This guy gave up after the first year, though. They tend to treat the lesbians much better than the gays though.
What does he expect to accomplish - being an educator just isn’t like being an NGO executive. But every time a liberal tries to tell me I don’t do enough, I tell them I taught for 3 years in a 85% free or reduced public school, including AP courses and then ask them what they did. That tends to shut them up.
