Who would want to work somewhere if they teach or say something wrong and up getting arrested for teaching 'history'
Oooh let them gooo..Evil is evil and i appreciate TEXAS Bravooo stand talö for the LORD JESUS CHRIST
Republicans have really helped to dumb down America. Hail Jesus and his American Taliban.
Good riddance schools are better off without them
Remember in November and vote Blue – especially in Texas.
What a petty and messy district. It’s no surprise that 93 teachers left.
I'm from Italy and here the situation is similar but not exactly the same. You see, ever since some politicians decided that teachers are basically not allowed to hold back students anymore, we have seen a steady decline of actually educated people in schools. Teachers nowadays are forced to be gloryfied baby-sitters because parents do not respect them anymore, because they do not want to parent their own children. And I would also like to add that it is established by laws that teachers follow standardized curriculums and that they absolutely abstain from, when teaching about politics, religions or other things like that, tell the children their own beliefs. So, there is no way that they ever be allowed to influence their students in any way. And I think that that neautrality on those subjects it's vital for allowing students to think for themelves.
Teachers are expected to do a lot more than teach, but it's not easy to get a teaching credential. They are held to high standards with substandard pay, little support from administrators, unreasonable demands from parents,and that's the tip of the iceberg. As a sub I had a parent come in on Monday morning, notice I was a new sub for the class, and hand me the kid's homework. She told me they did all the daily homework for the week in 30 minutes Sunday night, and demanded to know why her kid couldn't write her letters properly. I imagine actual teachers put up with a lot worse.
One district I worked for, the district administrators gave themselves a 15% raise, and told the teachers there was nothing left for them to get any increase. Also, teachers get cheated on any Social Security earnings from jobs held prior to teaching. Congress doesn't think anything needs to be done about that. And of course, the safety issues with easily accessible weapons….
It is good that he quits, I want my kids to learn real knowledge not woke shiz
If l were a teacher in Texas, l would be running out of that profession as fast as l could with Abbott as Governor and the entire Republican administration of Patrick, Paxton ( under indictment but still holding his position, Cornyn, and Cruz. They support the NRA and have the most school shootings of any state. Banning books is the antithesis of education. These men do not care. Has Abbott been to Uvalde yet? I doubt it. It doesn't affect him. I doubt any of them have. Beto O'Rourke has, many times.
COME ON MAN it comes down to the woke libtard demonrats want to dumb up the next generation in order to control them better does it matter to people that AMERICA THESE DAYS RESEMBLE CHINA'S authoritarian regime !!! by the way parents dont AGREE with the TEACHERS UNION
2nd ammendment. y? to stop us at capitol? its not that u need more guns its abolish second amendment so they r not protected. north america always pulls AMERICA to the ground with they schemes. wake up. u dont need it. new age. 2nd amendment was so ppl could correct the government.
….And this is what autocracies want! Keep the population uneducated! Now they'll do what Florida is doing…getting unqualified people off the street to teach the kids! Vote blue!
F South lake
Who would have figured that the conservative push to politicize curriculums would force professionals out of the teaching?
And the dumb get dumber.
Honestly,,,as a 45 year old woman . I see how some HISTORY IS NOT TAUGHT IN TRUTH! Not, just Our history African history, German, aRussian etc…like WHO ?? SHOT J.F.K…WHY?? WHO WAS INVOLVED??? WHO KILLED THE RUSSIAN CZAR @ family?? Why?? Weren't there ever TRUE ACCOUNTS OF HITLERS REMAINS EVER IDENTIFIED, ,,?? We live in a world now where IT IS UP TO US TO DECIDE HOW?? MANY MANY THINGS ,PEOPLE, CONSPIRACIES, HISTORY OF EVERY DECENT AND RELIGION and Truely do our own schooling on TRUE ACCOUNTS OF REAL LIFE HISTORY !! AMEN FOR THE INTERNET, MOVIES, DOCUMENTARIES ETC ……BECAUSE SCHOOL IS GETTING TO POLITICAL,,,,AND THEY …DONT …WANT PEOPLE LEARNING …TRUTH!!!! Just like HOW IN THE WORLD DID SUCH A CRIMINAL LIKE DONALD TRUMP BECOME PRESIDENT??? Do homework on that alone and your led into a rabbit hole of lies, scandal, and treachery !!! Boom!!!!!!!
The "Dividing of America" is deliberate and insidious. There are very distinct organizations that are pulling America and Americans apart to further a very specific agenda. We all see what is going on and it is terrifying and sad that the Media is absolutely a Bad Actor in the Dividing of America.
When White teachers realize they have to teach Black children that White people are BREAK pure evil, the incredible negative ramifications for classroom management become obvious.
Stupid should hurt.
Start your own class room as a home school
Teachers should move to blue states
DO NOT go into teaching in the US! It is one of THE most stressful, dangerous professions you can choose. if your dream is to teach, learn a new language and go teach in Asia or Northern Europe where teachers are appreciated, respected, and better compensated.
Ex: Denmark's starting teacher salary is $80k USD. Starting ave starting salary in Tx and Fl is $40k. Can you find a one bedroom apartment for $1,000 a month in Austin or Miami as you do in Copenhagen? I don't think so.
I wanted to become a technology teacher, but after listening to this story I have changed my mind.
ALL TEACHER'S NEED TO QUIT.
