Weird High School English Teacher A Better World is Possible

If you are a socialist and feeling alone and worried that no one cares and that everything you are working for is a hopeless struggle- please remember that it is in fact the opposite- you are the LEAST alone because the others working for the same aim around the world actually give a shit about..

I don't care very much if an academic is a plagiarist and a fraud. It just doesn't impact me much. I extremely care if the UK media class is free to hound people to death and launch hate campaigns to divert attention from extremely serious topics that actually are in the public interest.

First Year Computer Science Teacher Asking for Advice on Decorating Room. I teach at a public school in the city and I recently got certified to teach CS in addition to my ELA classes. I will be teaching two sections of AP Computer Science Principles and I have 11 days until the students arrive.

Omelas already exists: no need to build it or choose it. We already live here –in the narrow, foul, dark prison we let our ignorance, fear, and hatred build for us and keep us in, here in the splendid, beautiful city of life...

My wife is watching some British show set during the post war era called "The Midwife" and every time I glance at it I feel like a Pink Floyd music video is about to start but then it never starts

Everything written by Gifted and Talented educators reads like they were written by a sovereign citizen. Constant citations of the same three researchers, constant appeals to archaic policy justifications, and just generally presenting their assertions with a confidence they don't deserve. Also,

The prof of intro gifted education elective grad school class I've been forced to take is an LLM user and it just prevents me from taking anything about the class seriously. How can an educator expect students to productively struggle when the instructor obviously isn't willing to do so themselves?
