Transgenderism

I’ll also add this…you don’t want that K-3 classroom teacher position. You don’t want any part of it.

Yeah, you don't want any part of what I do, either.

You don't know real stress until you're under a deadline at 2am after months of 80-hour mentally exhausting weeks.

We were saying how easy teaching is in college and in general. No one was questioning your position. And you don’t know the stress the kids we are trying to prep for life are going through. I helped a sweet little first grade girl with her spelling test today. I took her down the hallway to an open and quiet room. She’s missed 2 days of school this week and her first words to me were “my daddy had to go to jail yesterday”….blonde hair and puss in boots eyes. I tried to make things better in her mind. The spelling words weren’t difficult but she has a bit of a “miss” from her brain to the pencil. I was helping her along but she couldn’t get there in so many words. She hesitated to write because she didn’t know what to write. She never gets in trouble but school is hard for her and she just couldn’t do it…as a tear ran down her cheek. 

Take your “real stress” and shove it up your ass.

Maybe he has a rough time with aerobic numerology 

I think most jobs are stressful in their unique way, at different times. 

Anyway...

A NY city school had been teaching gender ideology to 7th graders. A whistle blower sent a video to the Megyn Kelly show. The show then contacted the school with questions and the spokeswoman tried to use vague weasel words but eventually admitted that they had a partnership with a 3rd party group to come in and talk to kids about the ideology.

Average class size of what is 36? High school level? K-12, your subject area? Kindergarten have 36 kids a room?

We are 7-12 by contact they can put 36 kids in your class. Most of my rosters are 33. Average was probably not the best word to use when talking district wide. I was referring to my school.

Well then clearly we need to stop hiring shitty teachers.  Or just stop grossly overpaying babysitters.

JMOG wasn't wrong.  I had a 300-level math class with a bunch of education majors who struggled to even pass.  I did all my homework during class, and aced every exam.  One of the easiest classes I had.

What year was this? Just curious.

Honestly idk.. we have roughly 45-46k students and probably 110 schools off the top of my head in any given year. When I started 29 years ago we were much larger. I think it was around 85k

Differential equations.  Most of my math classes were way harder than business, and Real Analysis told me "you're done in math", but DE was a joke.

I do agree that DifEQ was the easiest of the 2 year calculus series (Calc 1/2/3 then DifEQ).

Yes you needed calculus first but it was far easier at the time of taking it than the 3 calculus classes.

Partial differential equations, advanced calculus, and real analysis however are a different ballgame.

Obviously it varies by university, but Calc 3 was super easy, too.  Took me a while to get abstract algebra, but it ended up being one of my favorite courses.

Real Analysis was a real bitch.  My proof for one question - which I frequently received a '0' for a grade (if it wasn't 100% correct, it was 100% wrong) - was often longer than the entire chapter on the topic. The book was absolutely worthless.

Emotional is far different from real stress.  And you can suck at your job or mail it in and still get a paycheck. I'd get fired in a heartbeat for that.

Teachers always fucking cry about how hard their job is.  No, it really isn't - sorry, you're just a babysitter.  You have no idea what it's like to work on a true 24/7 job where every time your phone or email pings your entire weekend could be ruined.  Where you can't sleep in because you're afraid you miss a critical email that came at 8am on a Sunday.  Where fucking up is basically part of the job but you never know if you're about to be fired or managed out.

Almost 30 years ago.  I assume those educ majors in that class had a math specialty or discipline, and that was probably like a capstone course for them.  I was a dumbass for not tutoring the hot chicks that were failing.

I said the stress of the kids we are trying to prepare for handling life. No one said teachers job is hard but I did say you don’t want any part of a K-3rd grade classroom position. You calling that babysitting just shows how little you understand. Sounds like you chose a shitty career.

You don’t work a 24/7 job, get off your high horse
