Red Pilled Teacher

Looking at the board agenda, this caught my eye: state funds (01) are being used to pay a company to recruit teachers from overseas on visas. A few non-magnet schools do this - there are probably more than I know of.

@ChuckTownDaily I was told by the media that enforcement of such laws was considered racist. You mean there is data that supports the need for enforcement?!

⚠️This is the #wcpss bond headed to the ballot this year. It will be the first bond I vote no on and you should too. Why? Device spending, poor HVAC and maintenance, bad facility design that costs more later, and wasting your money. simbli.eboardsolutions.com/meetings/TempF…

@DaltonReport @MargoinWNC I wonder when the news will report the real reason he was let go. @WRAL There is a hint for you to follow.

@FixingEducation I’d love $115K, lol. I ran the numbers. A $115K teacher salary in California ends up closer to a $55K to $65K lifestyle when compared to NC after costs are factored in. So…I am not living in a mansion anytime soon! Btw, NC is where I live.

@graymccheerwine @Carowinds Dude…I’m just joking. Chill.

@BasedRedWolf @Carowinds Charlotte is not even in the top 10 highest crime rates for the state of North Carolina. When do you think you'll start trolling places in Montgomery County?

Accurate

We make our kids wash and put away their own laundry. They also do chores. There is a difference between our kids and their friends who don’t. Just saying. 👍🏼

Despite individual feelings on this war, you’ve got to admit have the greatest military in the world. 🌎

@Becky4Wake @RaleighGOP @4LifeEducator I mean, look at Baltimore Public Schools. foxbaltimore.com/news/project-b…

@4LifeEducator take a hint from your home state. More $$ does not equate to a better education. #wcpss does not need to continue to purchase curriculum fads. And ditch the laptops for each student.

@Viralfizz I don’t have the time to sit around and wait for drywall patch to dry. No thanks

Creating a perfect spot for ceiling light.

@BurgerHald @BrandonStraka That’s a great response. We’ve exchanged our “students” for “kids.” It’s not OK and has led to abuse and education overreach.

@BrandonStraka As a teacher, I disagree. They are my students. But, they are not my kids.

Idaho State Sen. Janie Ward-Engelking draws backlash after remarks about classroom authority: "When your children walk into our classroom, they become ours... those kids in that classroom, they're ours. They're ours, too."

@MikeBales LMAO. Well played.

The Artemis II crew just sent a picture from the dark side of the moon and it will amaze you!

@ABC11_WTVD Nope. The courts are playing politics. This will get overturned.

@dogwoodblooms Lmao! They blocked me too! I’m glad to be part of the club.

If I may interject here, Carolina Forward… but why are you misrepresenting yourself as a North Carolinian? Or better yet, as an expert on North Carolinians? I know I’m blocked and all… but people do send me your posts when you say something stupid (which is way more often than I’d like). But let’s clear the air here: you aren’t a North Carolinian. And you have no right to bash others about larping as a native when that’s all you do day in and day out. And to my transplant friends: Please don’t move to North Carolina and do any of the following to locals: 👉🏼 tell us how we feel 👉🏼 tell us about our past 👉🏼 tell us what to think 👉🏼 tell us what’s best for us 👉🏼 misrepresent yourself as a native North Carolinian 👉🏼 try to speak for us We don’t take kindly to that at all. Please be better neighbors than Carolina Forward. Thanks! 😘

Imagine if every high school student was given a retirement account on their first job instead of SSI. They could all see their investments and deductions over their lifetime and use financial skills (obtained from high school courses) to manage their contributions. It’s not perfect but better than what the government does with it.

School: where you learn mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell but never learn how to power your own bank account.

@ABC11_WTVD Next Steps: sulk and moan.

Plaintiffs, advocates outline next steps after Leandro ruling abc11.com/post/plaintiff…

@educator4ever36 That’s been a nightmare for counselors recently. Students don’t know how to advocate for themselves. They’ve been used to having their hands held with grades.

Dual enrollment participation should require set proficiencies in the content of the courses before being allowed to enroll. It’s really that simple.

@HattieMags @TerenceEveritt Said better than I could have. Great job!

@TerenceEveritt Leandro law suit was on life support for 20+ years because it was a money grab. With our state already in major debt...why anyone thinks there is extra money is beyond me. Plus, looks like Robb Leandro got a solid education. The "Leandro Mo Money" mantra is dead.

The Court ended Leandro, abandoning its constitutional duty to our public schools. In 2023, #ncga lawmakers boosted the retirement age for the same Court, delivering hundreds of thousands in additional pay to Chief Justice Newby. You get what you pay for. #ncpol
