It appears to me as a semi-insider that both the State and local district are actively trying to get rid of teacher’s unions(or at least blame them for State or District shortcomings due to neglegence, ineptitude, or apathy.

Don’t sell being a history teacher shory. Remember: Those who don’t pay attention to history are doomed to retake the course next year. ;^)

Don’t sell being a history teacher short

No, don’t misunderstand, that was the official education stance, not mine (nor my students’). I was actually told that my role as a history teacher was to support the reading and math curriculum.

Those who don’t pay attention to history are doomed to retake the course next year.

One year before I landed a real job, I subbed in the local districts. One time I subbed for the high school history teacher. There was one poor soul who had to pass history classes to graduate. Because he consistently failed history—he hated, hated, hated it, he found himself taking 3 history classes in his senior year. Don’t know if he graduated.
