I guess at that age I might forget myself

But i could be an idiot at that age

well, yeah

teenagers

I am trying to gently coax my anxiety-riddled perfectionists to just TURN IT IN

Well, it's not just me...every department sent home grade-level packets, and there's a link to digital version online, and there have been robocalls home to tell parents that the kids have to do the work....but even the parents haven't wanted to hear it, apparently.

yeah

my hometown just furloughed 30 teachers

like... really?

blink Seriously?

That's...insane.

Thirty? Teachers?

Geez o pete

Oh, the school board never fails to be full of assholes

obviously, the teachers are doing LESS work now, so that load can be distributed

and it doesn't harm the kids to pull them from the instructors they've had all year

Honestly, if the remaining teachers striked I would not blame them

They don't understand that these kids need personal contact, even at a distance, now more than ever?

they're idiots

also, micromanaging assholes who are convinced that teachers are lazy, greedy & overpaid

hey, D

you'll see it

I wondered

Sorry, not sure the teachers can allow the precedent that 'online teaching' allows you to triple up classes and work load under the false pretense that it is 'easier' when calls are still required, communication a bit more limited, and so on.

Oh, teacher unions are going to be ALL OVER this.

oh it's BS

Good!

but the local's resentment towards teachers is super high

a lot of the population is impoverished - so those 30k salaries are HIGH for the area

and the "lazy" teachers only work 9 months

Maybe a few less members on the school board would cut costs?

heh

The cat is going to poop on her?

Read 8:18 again

AH. Unfortunate typo

I was giggling

and the poop emoji is SO HAPPY

The little stinker

Making biscuits? now THAT sounds like he's shitting on the bed

biscuits

Oh. I always thought they were slaying an imaginary corpse

heh

whatever, it is the best thing. Sleepy happy purring kitty, kneading away

You, a cat lover, might just be biased.
