Did
well, that's depressing, thanks for clearing it up.
The department head shit was also extremely frustrating. I wanted the position, had been flow out to a leadership conference by the district the summer before, presented a spreadsheet documenting some of my plans for improvement over five years (detailed, worked with some of the best minds in science education.)
But the anti vaxxer applied too. His great plan was “we should focus on more reading.”
I’m sure the fact that I was 🏳️🌈 had zero impact on the principals decision lol. (Anti vaxxer guy did limp wrist impressions of me too. But who the fuck cared.)
Like it’s amazing. Oklahoma just actively does not want capable teachers.
Damn I'm sorry you lost the position to human trash, I'm sad for the kids of your state
The kids are not OK
Such incredibly sore losers...
There’s a reason Oklahoma is 49th for education.
During COVID, the biology teacher at the high school I worked (and later, the fucking department head) was a creationist with a Bible college degree that would compliment students for forgoing masks and explicitly taught anti-vaxx shit.
Climate change is fun too - I put on a PD once and a teacher was really fucking pissed that I was showing data on how Milanokovich cycles do not explain modern climate patterns… literally thought she was going to fight me.
That has to be the dumbest excuse for anti-climate change arguments I've heard in a while.
Do people really think that every single climate scientist who has dedicated their lives to studying shit that affects the climate, is unaware of and didn't account for, natural variations in solar energy the Earth receives, which I learned about in elementary school?
