My BFF took a job teaching kindergarten and assisting with writing with a couple older autistic kids. She has 6 young kids and throughout the day 3 autistic kids come for tutoring also. No para. She says this is the easiest fucking job she's ever had. She's at a private school where good behavior is required. Astonishing, as almost all the teachers that I know act like they're dying. Probably the system, but systemic laziness and playing the victim constantly is also apparently exhausting. Add "feral" children to the mix and I'd imagine it's s shitshow in the public schools where everyone gets a trophy and no one gets punished. These people are beyond stupid.
We need to stop the public school system. Destroy it and start over with people who actually know something and have life experience. These teachers are mostly all on psych meds FFS!!
Isn't it shocking when people who are being treated for mental illnesses tell you that you're unhinged and a conspiracy theorist? No brain left in them, just balls of psychotic emotions running loose like a Tasmanian Devil.
I majored in elementary education for a couple semesters and hated every single minute of it. It was awful. They spent far too much time on WHO I would be teaching and not WHAT I would be teaching or even how. Identity politics sucked up a lot of the coursework. I couldn't make myself finish.
That said, I wouldn't mind helping kids to learn, but there's no way I would do it in a public school, especially in my city.
Open a school house for homeschoolers. Someone I know did that recently and the waiting list to get in is a mile long.
Wow!! I may have to look into it if this crap drags on.
They call them learning pods or something like that. They are the halfway house between public schools and pure homeschooling.
Well we don't call it that. We are just homeschoolers. And some choose to participate in the school house on certain days, some full time.
Imagine if 3 normal adults with skills could gather 30 kids and educate them k-12 on their own. Im betting they would be educated and well adjusted young adults. 3 people, 30 kids...we have retired people who would be great! Don't a lot of folks volunteer after they retire? Why not do something that could change the world? Better than being a candy striper for the NWO BIOMEDICAL Fascists!
This is known as "en loco parentis." Heavy emphasis on the loco.
