Worked in a low-achieving middle school in South Korea and the teachers couldn’t stop talking about how much they hated their students and their job.
Granted, kids weren’t bringing guns and drugs into school and knocking up their classmates. But yeah they were really unintererested in learning. They never physically attacked or threatened teachers but insubordination was quite common.
Australia and UK. Yes. Bad schools are really shitty.
You dont have quite the same disparity in funding though (it still exists of course) but all the same issues about troubled kids.
The report includes a previously undisclosed revelation as to the manner of Racing Louisville’s firing of Christy Holly as manager back in August 2021. The report details how Holly called a player, identified as Erin Simon, in for a film session, stating he would touch her “for every pass” she made a mistake on. (ESPN’s policy is to not publicly identify victims of abuse, but Simon, through a spokesperson, agreed to be identified.)
Holly then proceeded to put his hand “down her pants and up her shirt.” Simon would try to “tightly cross her legs and push him away, laughing to avoid angering him,” adds the report, stating that when her teammate picked her up to drive home, Simon broke down crying.
From my POV, it can actually be a good thing.
Like the school is so bad that it’s basically impossible for things to get worse. Teaching the material provided conventionally clearly doesn’t work (the lesson in that NYT article on HCM seemed like shit). So, they’d definitely be open for a more unorthodox approach to pedagogy.
That said, I’d still never teach there. Not even getting paid $40K/year and I’d have to live in a desert? Brutal.
When I taught English in China I had 60 person classrooms and the front rows were super interested in learning English, the middle rows were ambivalent and the last few rows didn’t care at all and would sometimes throw chalk at me to get a laugh. I couldn’t do anything personally as the English class wasn’t even graded, but if I could catch the chalk thrower and refer them to the principal they would shit their pants. One semester teaching in small town China was enough for me, heh.

DC Court of Appeals (not the DC Circuit) reverses lower court dismissal and allows the case to move forward as an alleged violation of DC Consumer Protection Act.
Shut down all voice calls until we figure out what the hell is happening imo.

You know what’s going to be awesome? When NASA discovers evidence of bacteria or something on some distant planet that is linked to the origins of life on earth, and like 60% of the population denies it.
I’ve always disliked astrobiological theories for the origin of life. We have all the chemicals and energy sources needed here on earth. Why push the problem back a step, including some low probability collision event?
I have no idea what I’m talking about FWIW. I’m not saying anything was necessarily delivered fully-formed, but at least some element will have come from / be linked to something found elsewhere. That seems self-evident to me.
Oh shit, this just reminded me I forgot to send my $1 to Happy Dude. Damn it.

Anyone listen to the new Tyler Childers album? Just came out a couple days ago. It’s 1 album with 3 interpretations: Hallelujah, Jubilee, and Joyful noise. Joyful noise is wild compared to everything he’s ever done.
Yes. I’m into it.
