there are some teachers that get it, and some that dont.
i got a shitty email today because i gave a student a pass. she was working on her project to pass 8th grade, but apparently her decision to figure that shit out got her and me in trouble. honestly?
i dont even have confidence in a job year after year, yet alone the hubris to claim my subject is more important than another, so when someone says that keeping a kid for 5 minutes is a problem, i say, "fuck you". this will never contribute to faculty popularity, but honestly, i give less than a shit.
i will remain acquiescent, but only so that this person in question can feel in order and control. but fuck that. MY student needs help and you know what? it doesnt come from some bullshit schedule.
obtuse, ignorant, but perhaps just plain and ignorantly selfish. all that equals is ego and an inability to see whats really fucking happening. to me, its not our kids, sometimes, its our teachers.
just dont replace me and keep these assholes.

I came up on this blog on some random internet dickery. As an uncle and someone who has been around kids since I was a shorty myself, thank you man. You sound like someone out here trying to help his student, not punch a time card and keep it moving. Keep it up, someone appreciates what you do.
living with a teacher, i completely understand this sentiment.
the pressures that good teachers put on themselves to make their kids succeed is so commendable, and my heart goes out to you.
keep plugging away. trust your gut.
the kids are alright... sorta.
