So, kinda a teacher, but not really. And FWIW, I'm in awe of each and everyone of you as I could not do what you all do. The adults that I deal with are bad enough. It recently came out that our school district, Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) is in the hole for $188,000,000. And in the link above, it's reported that 64% of the kids are not proficient in reading while 72% are not in math. I feel for everyone that is showing up day by day and trying to teach to people who dont care 'cause they're all going to be Michael Jordan, or Tom Brady, or an influencer. I dont see how you all do it; massive props. submitted by /u/madcatter10007 [link] [comments]
