I'm behind, but dc2london , I'm so sorry about DS. As a fellow parent of a rule-following kindergartner, I'd be devastated and angry. Did no one witness the event? There was another child who saw it, yes. I've spoken with the principal and AP now and what I'm being told is that the boys were play fighting and the other two kids got out of hand, and are being disciplined. I really, really wish I had been told the play fighting part in the first email from the teacher.

Sometimes I regret not working in the private sector, but then health insurance discussions pop up and I realize how sweet a deal I have as a county employee. We have a $1500 per person deductible. Junie's birth last year was just over 1k OOP. Same here with a husband as a state employee, especially with how expensive his medication is. ETA: I'm so glad when he became an employee, they weren't allowed to hold his condition against him.

My Indiana teacher friends are so close to walking and this is not going to help an already tense situation. The GOP is fucking up Indiana education big time.

Everyone here is talking about this. Will one of you let me move in so my kid doesn't have to go to school here? I'm a good cook and I'll water all of your plants... I'd offer, but red state, too. Maybe we can find a blue state duplex somewhere.

I don’t know if you guys remember awhile back when I linked that twitter thread of that teacher who took field notes of her active shooting training. It was horrible. Like fear mongering proproganda from these security “experts” and absolute bullshit. I can’t believe we are treating teachers (and students) like this. I don’t want to live like this.

My husband has been bugging me to take some classes to get my teaching license renewed. I had let it lapse and have no intention of going back into the classroom, but he’s been stressed with work lately (auto industry) and wants me to have it as a back up just in case. That ISTA Twitter feed brought back so many feelings. I’ve discussed my traumatic experiences with lockdown drills in the classroom before and for my own mental health I can’t rehash it right now. I’m hoping those teachers sue. I’m also hopes ISTA gives them hell. They’ve gotten enough of my monies over the last decade or so.

This is giving me a laugh. I mean, I feel bad for the commuters but you can’t make this stuff up. A government agency is blaming a problem on a Dunkin’ Donuts employee.
