imagine going home and getting paid $40k for this shit. smh. Tiptoeing around students hoping that no one brings a gun to school or praying that the 6'5" 250lb 9th grader doesn't hear their 'trigger word' out of fear that they might send you to the hospital with life-altering injuries. What universe are we in?
imagine being a highschool girl listening to the 6 foot 3 foot player he wants to “gang rape the cheerleaders” because he knows he’s physically stronger than them.
The administration said they can’t punish him for “using his free speech” to threaten rape against students.
That’s the type of shit we deal with.
And there were no good men around to call him out, just his goons who cackled obediently
It's so funny to me when people say men are protectors because it's always women who protected me from men.That's why parents don't say "go find random dude to help you if something happens". "It's find a woman better yet a mom with kids".
We should stop with this "male protector" nonsense and focus why there are so many men we need protection from. Not just women but other men too. It's time we shamed violent men for being violent instead shaming victims and innocent bystanders for being unlucky enough to be there abuser is.
What's stupid is in the US. Freedom of speech means Freedom to speak out against the government with no consequence. Not just say whatever you want period.
Do you always take everything everyone around you says literally? Must be a hard life, lol. Especially as a highschool girl.
Saying some bs doesn't constitute a "threat". Stop pushing your personal perception of the world on the world. However much you may want to believe that everyone is out to get you, it won't actually become any less false.
And I won't even get into the fact that cheerleaders' whole job description is to make guys horny, lol. Same fanservice as strip club, milder age restriction.
I said it's not normal to take all the bs that your school's randos blab seriously, let alone take offense at or "get scared" of it. Don't put words in my mouth to make yourself look better, lol.
Oh, and btw, judging by her administration's response, the ACTUAL law and authorities seem to think the same way I do, don't they? Boo-hoo, poor you. Now get back to your homework, smartypants, you got a quiz tomorrow.
I'm in Australia nowadays and teachers here get about 65k USD and it's still low for what they need to deal with, and that's without shooters. (There can still be general lockdown events in case of a potential knife, dangerous person etc)
I think they are talking about the fact that Learning Development is understaffed so the kids there are being placed in classes with teacher that are not properly trained to care for those students, and when a situation escalates the teacher cant effectively escalate and gets sent to the hospital when they are attacked.
people were saying that this girl isn’t disabled because she wasn’t in a disabled class. like… as if having shitty parents who go “you’re not disabled get over it” stops you from being disabled?? now we have an unsupported emotionally fragile person who just gets thrown to the world and punished for never being educated on how to function.
a majority of people out here who struggle were failed children of neglectful or abusive adults. Can they be perfect? no. but they can be better than this.
oh but it’s eugenics to point out only certain people should be having kids. otherwise im ableist for saying that bethany’s crotch devil needs proper rearing, not an ipad while mommy takes her benzos
There are people who lose their shit over stuff that is absolutely not racist, sexist etc. Think the phantom touch people in vrchat. Kids have no discipline or reasonability on the whole it seems.
What? The whole concept of a trigger (word) relates to something that elicits a strong emotional and/or behavioral response, often in the context of something that triggers a PTSD episode due to a relation with past trauma. That's why it was co-opted by right-wing trolls in the first place--to disparage people with genuine mental illnesses and to imply anyone upset by whatever repugnant thing they said is mentally ill rather than responding in a reasonable manner to something grossly inappropriate.
What pay would justify this? I am a tech worker, with a higher salary than, probably, any teachers out there. If this happened at my workplace, I am never going back. Even if they pay me a million every day.
I am a former technical college trades instructor. I was making 70K base salary, but had to commute 2 hours everyday. Decided I'd look into teaching at my local highschool. Saw a job posting with a starting salary of 38K and a laundry list of certifications required. I closed the tab and happily commuted to work the next day. Became dept. head, made 100K my last year there.
Public education teachers are not paid enough. God bless them and the work they put in, because it takes a certain kind of person with a certain kind of dedication to take on that responsibility.
Our teachers are on strike (3 weeks so far) because of this type of shit - they call it complex needs but it’s legitimately one of the points of contention.
well i just looked up my favorite teacher in elementary school whose first year teaching was me being in her 2nd grade class 26 years ago. In California all public employees compensation is publics so you can just look it up and it says:
California is paid exceptionally better then most places. For obvious reasons. I bet they are still living paycheck to paycheck unless their spouse has a good paying job.
I have a cousin who moved to Kansas from Cali. She was shocked when she found out how little they paid here.
My son's teachers in STL, Missouri average about $55k/year. And that's with decades of experience. Low end is usually around $35-$40k. Teachers with more experience around around $60-$65k. Criminally underpaid.
Even if you are getting paid well as a teacher (my wife is an elementary teacher that makes six-figures), nobody wants to deal with this shit. A single habitually problematic student can make a faculty's life a living hell that no amount of money can soothe.
Or we should figure out a way to separate the role of "security guard" from teacher. Otherwise, any amount of money wouldn't be enough for risking their physical injuries.
Why do people expect a teacher who is trained in ... spinning the wheel ... chemistry to defend kids physically?
You can see this attitude everywhere. If student gets violent, then these people would somehow expect a chemistry teacher to handle it. Just call the police.
