Old School Teachers Get Voted Down

We old school teachers got voted down with a shout We wanted school uniforms to continue you see. The young teachers know everything, they voted them out. Misbehaviors are as rampant as they could ever be! Why can’t they show their belly buttons? A young teacher asked. I show mine and my lovely bra straps and my thong too. This leader is open-faced, not incognito in any way or masked. Insanity is alive in elementary schools in twenty-twenty-two.

ha! one of the reasons i knew it was time to retire from teaching was when the new young teachers had no interest in hearing what any of the old-timers had to say, but came up with "new" ideas which were identical (or inferior) to ones we had used years before...

If I pipe up in a meeting this is what happens - no one HEARS or ACKNOWLEDGES me. But then.....twenty minutes later a YOUNG one will say MY SUGGESTION and it is not only HEARD but BRILLIANT. I spend most of my meeting times in silence.

...and we wonder why students have problems. Now, they are getting it at home as well as school. What is the matter with young teachers?????

That is part of it, but there are also no consequences for fear of "hurting self esteem" - what about the esteem of the others who cannot learn in this environment?
