one was caught sending inappropriate text messages, the other four were just awful at teaching.

[Clarino]

Sounds like a cover story.

You just can't fire a teacher for being crap at teaching, they must have cut a deal to protect reputations.

[The Comrade]

well when your students continually do poorly and you aren't tenured, yeah you can be fired for being terrible.

[Clarino]

LOL, no.


Kids in some schools continually do poorly and the teachers continue in their jobs. Tenure doesn't even exist over here and at least one of my teachers in what you'd call high school failed to teach us a significant portion of the curriculum. Simply didn't include it, and when we got to the exam, we were being asked questions about subjects we'd never covered.

She is still teaching at that school. It goes on all the time.

[The Comrade]

you should tell me more about my school district, clarino. being a trucker in britain gives you special insight here.

[Clarino]

You're claiming it's easy to fire teachers. What I do for a living and where I come from doesn't make that claim any less ridiculous.

What do you do com? You a teacher? I don't believe you've ever told us how you earn a living...

[The Comrade]

i just live in a district where teachers were fired for certain reasons, that's all. you don't see me commenting on what your school did. you know why? because i don't live there and can't make a judgment call on it.

Did they serve frozen cheese at your school?

[The Comrade]

possibly, although i never ate lunch in highschool. their pizza cheese, however, i'm sure came in large, frozen bags.
