Via coturnix, the tremendously depressing resignation letter of a public school teacher in North Carolina. It’s a rotten note on which to discover what looks like a pretty good blog.
The racist comments and inappropriate sexual remarks desribed in the letter are really pretty disturbing. I wish I could say it was surprising, but sadly, it’s not.
Anyway, if you want to know some of the reasons why they have a hard time getting good people to go into teaching, take a look. No school pays well enough to put up with that sort of crap.
This is, of course, as opposed to other jobs where you never run into bad bosses, creepy coworkers, and institutional dysfunction.
