His students are smarter. And he doesn't listen.

Sometimes adults in power positions don't realize that just because they are higher up in the hierarchy doesn't mean that the peons down below will automatically eat the BS you shovel. When my nephews were in high school, they took a class trip to DC. This was early 2017 and Trump had just been inaugurated. They met with our congresswoman (Jackie Spier). I did a similar trip when I was in HS and when we met with our rep, he gave an overview of what he did, etc. Apparently, Spier did nothing but bitch about Trump according to my nephews. It was winter and it was cold; the icing on the cake was when she turned to an aide and said 'give me your jacket'. Not, 'hey I am a little chilly. Do you mind getting me a sweater?'. No. Give me YOUR jacket. More than anything she said, that was the impression that stayed with them. They were appalled at how the aide was treated. Put it this way, one ended up coming home with a MAGA hat.

She is retiring. I am thinking about sending her a little send off letter to share that story with her...
