The "less than kind " are being fired around the country and her

MissAmericanPie :
I think you can Have your opinion, and even speak it, but posting anger or hatred.on social media, depending on your job or career, not always allowed by the Contract the person signed, to Be in that job,

A business owner in Conroe is giving free Charlie Kirk stickers. He is getting death threats. He isn't letting that stop him. It's so sad to see this much hate.

MissAmericanPie : Keep your personal opinons out of the schools.

I am so relieved that my children are in their 30's and ....they are not having children of their own. While I used to love the idea of having Grands......not in this, the world now. Sad really.

It's extremely unfortunate that these attitudes exist among teachers, and also devastating that we're losing so many teachers. The education system is falling apart.

Letstalk : Glad that he continues. Sad and concerned for his personal safety.

Heathur : My DD is a teacher. We shopped and had lunch together today and discussed her job concerns this very day.

Donnawisdom : Oh they don't. Employers all over have publicly been saying for years that they will hold public posts against them if they violate employee standards. It's been out there for a long time that even if you're looking for a job, they will search your activity online as part of the vetting process.

cbear : With the crazy increase in daily school shootings, I don't blame her. That would be a genuine concern if I were in her shoes. Hopefully she's in a district like Huffman ISD where teachers are allowed to conceal carry for protection. I'm not sure about Humble.

cbear : There's still private and religious schools and home schooling but that all stings for what we pay in taxes. And to add insult to injury, the latest data regarding education in the US is very disheartening.

MissAmericanPie : We see the results of the student's failure every day,
Hiring is difficult.

Heathur : A lot of the blame falls on the parents. The fruit comes from them.

cbear :
It takes courage. I also do not yet have grandchildren. One of my sons is in his early 30s, just got engaged, and they have discussed having kids. Another is in his late 20s and will soon be engaged. The third could easily be a year behind those 2.I actually hope they all have kids around the same time so they can have each other as early life peers. Since I'm retired, I look forward to being the grandfather that engages with them, makes them laugh, and helps them make sense of this world.Since there is a drop in birth rate, these next generations will have less competition for the jobs that humans can still do. I think every generation is susceptible to developing fear of the future for the next generations because they themselves are struggling to adapt to all the new variables in life that are constantly changing and will never stop changing. Just as we experienced a lack of fear as kids, so too will the next generation, since that reality will be the only reality they have ever known. They'll be fine.This is why I intend to stay on top of as many new technologies as possible and to stay aware of all cultural change. We'll all process that change differently but I don't think it's in our best interest to fear it.

Sisyphus : These specific ones I speak of are academic. New education report card is out. No matter how much money we sink into it, it just gets worse. They are upping teacher pay, which is long in coming. But I really think it's a family issue.

donnatella : So true!!!
