We had a colleague last year who quit because we (as a school/org) couldn't just be normal about workload and stuff and so it just wasn't worth it. It was her first teaching job back from her mum-career-break.
Well done us, could've got another maths tchr back into classroom but we fucked it up

The heart of child free discourse if people expecting to completely delegate their responsibility as parents (in this day and age, a CHOICE they made)

It was clearly disruptive enough to make someone overcome the MASSIVE social barrier of Having a Word with the parents

There is no collective duty possible because as soon as anyone tries, the parents have a hissy fit.

You wouldn't but others do (even in this day and age) I see less of it now online because I block everyone who says it

It's ableist now to want a quiet space to enjoy things? 🙄
Where are all the neuro diverse activists with their big headphones and sensory packs now?

I've made it a rule that they can't have water bottles on desks. Endlessly swigging away while I talk. Can't stand it. Then they all want to go to the toilet!

Yes. Digital creatures are incorporeal and thus closer in resemblance to the Divine Ideas than humanity, clothed as we are in sinful flesh. More angel than ape, Clippy does not merely have a soul: he has more of a soul than you or I

The most incredibly woke and politically correct people on the planet are on this table, but then they started commenting on how some of their high school teachers were "soooo hot 🔥 " and I'm like "that's disrespectful, they didn't consent to being sexualised like that" and now I'm the bad guy
