Change "PE teacher" to "stack of health magazines" and it's a more accurate equivalence.

All it took was a union leader being unfairly detained under a fascist usurpation of power.

Shit, we shoulda tried that years ago!

Who said we're a serious country? We're a wacky zany clown show! But less Pagliacci and more John Wayne Gacy...

Every time I look at my microwave, I see a microwave with the correct time. I even set the clock on my hood range.

In fact, the only clock in my house with the incorrect time is the single analog clock in my house with dead batteries....

We're making ourselves sick, too

The Attention Whore Wars of the mid-20s were a dark time indeed. Now, eat your microplastics, American Express℠ _presents Taco Bell®'s Doritos® Chinga Dos Culos™ featuring LG®_ThinQ Dual^sense™ Technology Jr.

That's why the bathrooms will show ads 24/7 and the drug safe zones will feature loot drop microtransactions. All participating companies will receive carbon credits. Time to capitalize socialism.

Good point. I'd consider retirement, but who else is gonna do this job?

I don't know what broke in me recently, but for about 3 years now, pork products just taste kinda dirty

Are you talking about making a grilled cheese where you sub Mayo for the butter? Cuz it turns out pretty awesome!

It's scary now that doing a racism is considered a little more uncouth

Behold as the invisible hand of the free market works its way up your ass to puppet you into uttering its favorite phrase: no one wants to work anymore

And I aim to start another!

No u.

Dear lemm.ee and the wonderful admin,

I'm sad to see you go, but thank you, sincerely, for being the springboard that allowed me to dive into the refreshing waters of Lemmy.

Stay golden, pony boy

Has it happened before?

I see you've met some of my old coworkers.

Are they doing that for every wrong question on every paper? That would take forever!

I work in education in Texas. Yes, they do. And yes, it does. Now, most things are digital, so they have kids make a copy of the Google Doc and then grade that and leave comments on it. But if they have paper assignments, they often leave notes on them. Leaving notes on assignments and tests/quizzes (which is likely what this was) is part of their professional review.

Also, part of their regular professional review is whether or not they're keeping proper documentation on student behavior. Different tiers of behavioral issues require different documentation/communication. So, not only are they writing notes on tests/assignments, they're writing documentation on hundreds of students, contacting dozens of parents, creating lesson plans that have to be available in advance for parental review in case any parents want to dispute the materials, and they're getting regular reviews.

And then, when all the kids are off enjoying summer, the teachers are working their summer job to supplement their shitty pay. And they're going to mandatory "Professional Learning" courses to keep their teaching certification, some of which they are required to pay from their own pocket to attend.

In San Antonio, we don't really have any "small" districts, so the numbers in the second paragraph assumes an elementary school of 300-600, middle school of 800-1200, or high school of 1200-2000 students.
