prepare to be cornered at dinner parties by the dilberts of this world about your air miles emissions, though.

just kidding, the dilberts of this world don't get invited to dinner parties.

Caring about the environment is cuck behavior. The wildlife you care about will try to eat you if it can.

I wish my assistant gets eaten by a wolf. Not because of her political views but because she is annoying. I don't need her judging me or questioning how I run my classroom. I don't want to hear her opinions on anything.

My best assistant was the one who couldn't speak English and just sat there. At the end of the year I am going to ask for a different assistant.

Weird mindset for a teacher.

What's the point of being a teacher if you aren't interested in empowering and inspiring the youth with intellectual curiosity and the toolset to critically think to make their own positive impact on the world? No one says you have to enjoy your job, but you should at least strive to be great at it.

What does that have to do with wildlife? Make a positive impact on people not pets.

srs note, i don't know that i'd enforce a ban. seems like a dick move divesting your students of a device they can text their parents their farewells on when the next mass shooter comes through.

might have no choice with a maga assistant scrutinizing your every move like a commissar, though.

Today's lesson is Johnson's War on Poverty. I know the lady is internally screaming listening about how many things were created to help lower income people like her and her Amazon warehouse sons.

...

Her: "Are teachers going to switch away from using Chromebooks? Are we going to have textbooks again?!"

"We are never switching away from Chromebooks. Textbooks and pre digital stuff is not coming back. Textbooks wouldn't be helpful to this group of kids. The stuff I have are already modified for special education. I don't think the administrators have a problem with how I run the class."

seems my 'lindy' take on the changing sociology of STEM and the sciences is basically playing out, every day, in real time.

STEM jobs and actual research is for H1B rubber dinghy immigrants. even genius kids in the sciences are becoming quants for investment firms. that's where the new elite appeal rests. all the 1500 SAT perfect A's high-IQ asians going to MIT/stanford/caltech/harvard/etc now see the STEM undergrad as a stepping stone to a high-status job in the fake numbers high-finance game.

the people still clinging to this outmoded idea that STEM degrees produce an 'elite' of engineers and technologists are basically petit-bourgeois reddit moderators from 2014. STEM don't pay! and it doesn't carry the same kudos it did even a decade ago.

"become a legendary engineer", "change medicine and help millions of people", "design the next great architectural masterpiece".

actually it's just fin tech and hedge funds. hope you like AI-assisted SaaS apps.

it is much, much higher than 1/3rd now. research jobs and academic careers have plunged in compensation and prestige since the 1980s.

and i doubt that most engineering firms or the tech sector were drawing their new hires from china or india, then.

Want to hear more bitching about my assistant?

I told her to stop giving the kids snacks. She is upset that I am collectively punishing the class.

is that even allowed in 2025? sounds like lawsuit material. let the cafeteria and vending machines handle that stuff. imo, if i were a teacher, i'm not about to get blamed for making a kid sick.

i can't think of a single reason for a trump commissar to groom kids like that except as an in for their future votes. did she look constipated while handing out snacks? conservatives hate giving kids free stuff, don't they?

an adult giving candy to kids not their own (outside of holiday events like halloween) is creepy optics, man. if she has a sketchy economy van beater i'm gonna lose it.
