I’m in the best public school district in St. Louis by performance and academics. Two years ago the did an $80M renovation of the high school. It is now a superior facility to when I went to college. Over the top.
1. We got a letter saying the district is all in on BLM. That set off all the alarms and we started applying and taking entrance exams. No one is teaching my kid to be a racist. Shit would get real for them.
2. The way they’ve led us on with survey after survey and lied and failed to plan for a total shutdown/virtual was unconscionable. It is absolutely clear to me they never intended to have school.
3. I don’t have grade schoolers, but last week the teachers union informed the superintendent they would not report to work. Essential? Guess not. Fuck them
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not bellyaching. I’ve been terribly comfortable and will continue to be in spite of having to buy a new Mercedes every year
$25k/per kid means sacrifices. Bye bye trips, shooting, really everything since this won’t end for me for 10 years.
I’m fooked.
Don’t GAF anyway. My priorities couldn’t be clearer, and I’m good with that. I’m mostly sad for all the families who have no choice and have to be held hostage by a terrorist teachers union. I’m my own boss and can be flixible. WTF do people do who have to go to work? Leave the kids to remote learn by themselves? That shit didn’t work for us when we were there (real boys).
I’m just sharing because I know it’s a friendly audience. God help the liberal moron who starts defending this shit, because I’m going to be a first class asshole.
Kids ask me why I’m so angry all the time, stomping around and muttering to myself. Well, now you know.
