My kids love making the cursor fill the screen.

Right?! I barely trust some of my colleagues to do their day job reliably let alone manage a firearm in a high pressure scenario.

Our school (who wasn’t actually considering it) said the insurance company would drop our coverage if we allowed armed teachers on pemesis. Honestly, I think I’d quit if I knew someone on staff was concealed carrying. We deal with a lot of shot, but the last thing I want between me and a troubled kid is a gun.

Privacy.com is literally the digital equivalent of what you were talking about. As for bank services, I don’t know that I have heard of any personally.

As a teacher who has fed kids who otherwise would have gone hungry over the summer, I’m appalled.

As an Iowan, I have no idea what more to do. Voting certainly hasn’t worked so far and reasonable arguments fall on deaf ears. Yes, I could move, but is it really any better anywhere else? I would feel like I was abandoning my family, my students, and community. It is important to show through action and compassion that there is more than just this kind of conservative nonsense in the world. Of course, she fast tracked giving our public education dollars to private schools with no change in accountability measures…

I feel guilty doing that. My kids deserve better from me.

It really is amazing how people just believe whatever outlandish story they hear. Had an elderly woman tell our state legislators at a local forum that teachers where I work were literally locking children into closets and teaching them to be gay. Legislators response: “Mumble, Mumble, yeah… we need to do something about these teachers.”

Lady, if we had the power to “indoctrinate” children, we wouldn’t have any late homework again, let alone tolerance for people different from yourself.
