Yeah, really. But it pains me partly because I myself attended this school back in the day, when things weren’t so sickeningly condescending. We were “diverse” as a matter of course, and nobody minded. Today, some of my friends would be picked out as “special” and asked to host or be an exhibit in one of their endless “diversity forums/seminars”.
This also is a minor tutoring job, low pay, and 15 min away so I can easily care for my son including school for which I can take him and get him (we don’t have buses at our private school), while my husband works his major job. I haven’t been able to get back into engineering so any bit of money to cover daily expenses is good, and as an “employee”, I get the benefits of that - no driving, no tracking gas, no special taxing situation.
“I get the benefits of that - no driving, no tracking gas, no special taxing situation.”
I hear that! During our Recall Scott Walker FIASCO in Wisconsin, I managed a Garden Center. And of ALL places (plants are peaceful and will go home with you and beautify your home and yard no matter WHAT your political leanings!) we had a steady stream of customers through there with Anti-Walker signs on their backs, buttons on their shirts, even baseball hats touting their HATRED of our wonderful Governor!
I went out of my WAY to talk to any and all of them, to compliment them on making their politics known 24/7 and how BRAVE they were for doing so.
And I laughed to myself, TOOK THEIR MONEY (of course my solicitousness GREATLY improved sales during that point in time) cashed my paycheck and went about my OWN business.
So, I feel your pain, but if this is working for you and your family for now, keep your head down, don’t let the lunatics get to you, SMILE and cash your paycheck. ;)
Well, you can be a reporter for us if you want. As in - You would not believe what they did today ...
