re: #601 WindUpBird

Maybe I am. I’m cooling off. But the yukyuk I spoke of was the “wow, those kids don’t know the romans didn’t have fighter jets” I dunno, that just rubbed me the wrong way, as if a teacher was teaching kids that. “Remember kids, the greeks had teleporters and power armor.” No teacher told a kid that, there is no “disgrace”. Maybe I’m a bit sensitive about this issue and how it ties into my experiences. But agreed, it is in a strange place , and what I’m saying is really more just aimed at the conservative arguments against public education and this meme of there just being all these bad teachers and they must be the problem because they should be able to work miracles.

But yeah, apologies to alex

No worries on this end.

Have you ever thought about teaching? Your experiences and passion for kids that others may have misunderstood and given up on would serve you well in a school setting.
