As much as I love red rocks, I am much happier at Mission Ballroom.

Like, look at the hell he created with Senate Bill 191 for educators. My god.

He was considered as an expert on that committee. He taught for 3 years. I was an idiot at 3 years, ok?

The positive of the day is that my cca chair is dope. Paul is great.

The shit from district today pushes me more and more towards the college route…but also like, my salary would be peanuts so uhhhhh. Ughhhh. Education is treated so shitty.

“When Gabriel smites you, you’ve been…smited? Smote?”
“Smitten, I believe. You’re being silly.”

I’m so overwhelmed, I don’t even know where to begin.

Sorry, year 12. I think it might be a shitshow.

Someone asked me today why I spend a decent amount of my break at summer institutes.

Me: *gestures to the room we’re in* This. We are not treated like professionals, they do not care about us. And we accept the abuse because we can’t strike. I need reminders that we are respected and people actually care about what we do instead of you know, changing the entire grading policy and giving us a 10 minute slide presentation with no time to process, no examples, and even the poor people leading this PD are blindsided and have no idea what’s going on.“

The district does everything you’re not supposed to do in teaching. Provided no other examples, no time to process, no real answers, not explained in any other way, no repetition, and just expect us to know what to do.

Did I love seeing all my social studies teacher friends in my building for district PD?

Oh my god, YES. One guy who used to work with me walked in and I was stupidly like, “morning…. zomgwtfbq hi!!!!!!”

Did I cry about the new grading scale, shitty district assessments, and want to set the district on fire?

ALSO YES.

Have you ever been so overwhelmed with information and no time to process it that you begin to cry?

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

My district is run by fucking idiots.

And what’s worse is that they took a good, equitable idea, added their own shit to it, and made it inequitable.

Like, how the fuck did they do that so fast?
