Really loved doing memorials and treating that day like a national holiday when teaching middle school with kids who were too young to remember and middle schoolers so didn’t care about it. The length of time we held on to that mattering was, well, very American.

I worked at Eastern Michigan as a manager in 93-95 timeframe. (NIT and NCAA years w/Ben Braun) Watching the fourth assistant come on board and this was his third stop in four years and he’d just broken up with a fiancé? I thought some about my dreams. There’s some truth here.

I get why people have the attitude of “this is what you wanted”, whats frustrating for me as someone rural who is stuck in the burbs for ~5 yrs until I can move back out; is that I wasnt like that then or now or ever. What I don’t get is why we don’t try to offer them anything at all.

I only taught traditional K-12 from 2007-2014, so caveats there. But I did find that with most things it was a “pick your battles” sort of mentality. For me it had to do with the backing from administration, then the amount of disruption it caused to other kids learning; in that order.

Good governance is so cheap and effective but the right has an ideological opposition to it and the easier position of “No” and has pulled things their way because of that. Their advantages are baked into everything in our shitty system except the actual reality we live in.
