Sorry to say I'm going to be off-line for a while. Moving to a new home and then a little surgery, nothing to worry about, just inconvenient. Back soon and Thank You to everyone who found my ramblings worth reading.

This whole thread is exhausting. The questions vary between insulting to teachers’ professionalism, trivial, and irrelevant (but requiring a particular set of beliefs). Nothing about actual teacher qualification.

Think New Mexico isn’t fighting for patients, they’re fighting for private equity. There’s a doctor shortage because Wall Street buys up community hospitals, guts staff, and turns ERs into cash cows. Patients wait 16 hours for care while profits soar. Private equity is strip-mining hospitals.
