A teacher comes out of a school "system" that is intentionally and by design socialistic.
If a teacher wants a job, she or he must toe the proffered line or fail the graduation test that will open job doors.
The Superintendent of the school district is god of the school district and has learned well to regulate behavior, thus monitoring and "progressing" the socialist agenda.
Stick around and don't piss the super off and you're "tenured"
US public High Schools graduate snowflakes and they go on to snowflake finishing school. marry other snowflakes and make baby flakelettes.
The hiring process for public school teachers is incredibly corrupt.
One district around here received 3000 resumes for a single opening. The job went to a relative of a school board member.
My co-worker has a neighbor who is a very good math teacher. He took a one-year sub position at a local district when that teacher went on maternity leave. She decided not to come back. He thought he would be offered the job based on his very good performance and test scores.
Instead the board opened it up to other applicants and.....you guessed it....hired a girl fresh out of college who was related to a school board member.
This guy is now a private tutor, and most of his clientele are kids from this school where the girl they hired evidently can’t teach math.
This explains why we keep hiring such low-quality individuals that you see “teacher has sex with students” stories in the news every other week.
Of course, this is my first year of teaching following a 46 career in electronics and firmware instrumentation. The admins don't understand what I am teaching, and that in itself is a blessing. So far, they are funding my lab very generously.
People on this thread are painting educators with a broad brush. You'd be surprised how many teachers merely pretend to pay attention to the weird stuff from on high. Those folks counsel me regarding "admin handling".
