Sad &
NOTABLE
Anons I need help w/a dilemma. It's causing me major angst,
Any of you from the old days will remember me b/c I would be on late at night during breaks.
High school teacher fag. I don't want to go back. Not b/c I am scared of Covid. I don't think I can wear a mask and pretend to drink the Kool Aid.
I do miss my students and I know for sure I won't enforce mask rule on them. I'm afraid I am going to say something like All Lives Matter or call Covid the China Virus or PlanDemic or even worse, call out Black Lives Marxists or something like that.
Fuq me. Wat do???
Yes, I believe so. I have BA in English and MEd in Language Arts instruction. However, age could be hiring factor; I am almost 60.
This indeed may be the answer.
This, yes, THIS. (It's the mask that makes it so.)
Great advice, lots to think about, and thanks for making me laugh! I've been telling myself if Trump is not re-elected, that will be my cue to exit stage right, and to give my 60 days' notice.
LOL Love it. "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" comes to mind.
Ha ha, yes, true!
Exactly, and this is why I haven't (yet) resigned.
Good idea. I did think to maybe start the year with persuasive research on "hot topics," maybe even class debates. And yes, the kids all know it's bullshit. We had outside graduation in early July and 80% took their masks off, not just at the end. The thing is, though, I have a lot of Karens for colleagues – the kind who would rat me out for letting kids enter my room w/o marking them tardy for 30 seconds late to homeroom. I am certain these Karens will be self-appointed mask monitors. Ugh.
>the commie atmosphere in the public school system is unbearable to begin with
Thank you, I have been fortunate throughout my career to have taught in a predominantly conservative district, but yes, the liberalism has crept in over the years. Not quite full Commie tho. Decidedly red district in blue state.
KEK!!! You are 110% right about the eye rolling.
I have never indoctrinated my students and I don't think most of my colleagues do, either. But yea, some of the younger ones are full on SJW's. You are right; threat IS imminent.
I tried to get doc to write a note saying mask gives me anxiety (which it does), but he wouldn't do it. Medical leave cannot happen w/o doctor's note. I don't teach in L.A. or NYC, kek.
This is a great idea! I just don't think I will have the time in the next few months to pull it together. I really have to return end of August, even if I were to give 60 days' notice today.
Really? How much? I wouldn't even know what to charge.
LOL I am actually pretty good at "forgetting" the mask.
I am seeing a theme here, yes. Thank you.
Now this made me cry. You touched on all the points of my dilemma.
Thank you all, anons. I love you dearly, no homo.
This anon is a genius.
