    I don't know how you do it, Kath, as I could never be a teacher. Don't have the patience! Whether that be for the kids, or for administration and/or other teachers, and especially if it's about "new" history being introduced or history being altered somehow. Or allowing for students demands for ridiculous things. Or allowing politics to enter the classroom and then alter history and/or how work is graded, or corrected. I honestly have zero idea of how much any of that truly happens out there, but I do see it happening. And the main reason I hate it, is that it makes me wonder what our country will look like in 100-200 years in the classroom, and how much history will have changed in their text books, and how much of politics will have changed education and how things are taught.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    I told my daughter recently if I had her job I'd quit and join the Marine Corps. Less bullshit and bureaucracy.

    I survived that. I'd have already gone off on multiple idiots just this school year if I was a teacher.
