Teachers deserve more money.

I actually read this story. She thought it was water so she didn't drink at school intentionally. If she were a drunk I highly doubt she would have vomited after one chug. Even if gin does taste like pine shit.
Yeah Im calling bullshit on that. There is no way you take a slug of gin and not immediately know you just drank alcohol.
Yeah, but I don't know if you've ever tried straight gin. Even the good stuff is horrible on its own. Definitely could vomit after unexpectedly taking a large gulp.
Back in college, I left a plastic water bottle full of vodka at my buddy's place after a party, so he brought that bottle to campus in his gym bag to return it to me.
During his cardio session, he grabbed the bottle without thinking, started chugging, and then promptly ran to the toilets.
He was fucked up afterwards, but sure didnt have enough time to get alcohol in his system XD
Eh, I’ve hit a few that were weak enough I wasn’t sure what they were. A bottle filled with someone’s chew spit- instant realization. A wounded soldier that was actually piss? Not until it hit the back of my throat and the cigarette butt at the bottom hit my lips.
I’ve accidentally drank alcohol thinking it was water many times. I don’t think she was drunk from it, and probably spit it out immediately. I could very much see her puking immediately after though because that shit is shocking and triggers a gag reflex immediately.
Did the class/one student replace the drink?
You've never once grabbed the movie theater water bottle instead of the actual water bottle?
hearing the experiences from the teacher sub, cant blame them, due to the manospheres reaching male students even in middle school has made things worst, plus indifferent parents and administrations that drove teachers to quit, oh yea and covid of course amplified the situation. first because you cant have inclass teaching most couldnt keep thier jobs
wat? teachers were fired?
No, OP doesn't understand it fully or isn't describing the process well.
Every year a budget is set that determines the total teacher FTE (full time equivalent). If the number is higher than last year, new teachers will be hired. If it's lower, it means teachers will be fired.
Teachers are not hired (fired) at the end of school year/beginning of next year. The way it usually works are the principals have a giant bid process kind of like a draft. Teachers that have tenure (usually 5+ years, but depends on district) are guaranteed a seat and get first pick of their preferred school, grade and subject. All of the other teachers then put in the 3 favorite schools and they get assigned based on principals trading them around.
So if the budget changes during COVID, let's say dramatic spending on technology, it reduces the amount of teacher FTE. That means in some districts, classroom sizes are increased and non tenured teachers are not rehired. But this isn't true everywhere, it was just a small trend during COVID due to changing budget priorities for that year.
Teachers have deserved more money for decades. Politicians have been promising teachers more money for decades so they can be elected to forget about giving teachers more money. I don't know what the moral of the story is.
kill politicians and put educators and experts in charge.
First of all, there should be one Federal curriculum for all schools. 2+2=4, CAT spells cat in every state. There is no reason to have 50 separate curriculums. The ONLY reason that exists is so MAGA states can use the schools to indoctrinate American schoolchildren into Confederate Treason, instead of giving their children an education that allows this country to compete in the world, instead of just compete against each other.
Look at the state of the federal government right now. You want them running education for the country?
You're aware no child left behind was literally that, and it's a big reason for schools declining as they are right now, right? Because the standards it set were poorly thought out, and the execution of said standards was also terrible. And that was when the US government was still even mildly coherent.
The educators - the people who actually gave enough of a fuck to go through years of college and take a dirt poor job because they believed in teaching - should be setting the curriculum. Not some bullshitting politician on the hill.
The world would be a better place if everyone chugged gin more
Alcohol has never made anyone less annoying.
Well, my abusive dad died of alcohol poisoning so technically not true.
In my experience alcohol makes everyone less annoying, as long as you're the one drinking the alcohol.
This is true. Even when I'm driving, I find myself being a lot more level-headed about things that would give my road rage if I have a few shots beforehand
So true. Imagine a world where everyone drinks and drives... it would be so much more peaceful. :(
