i worked at a before and after school care center in pittsburgh and feel similar to how teachers cant give individual attention to each student and their issues. another problem is, with teachers and before and after care, is the turn around rate. the lack of staff support, overworking the staff, and being understaffed brings fast turnaround rates in these jobs which makes it difficult for these kids to find trust in any adults. this brings distance from children in the classroom, thus bringing violence with them to school and elsewhere bc they cant figure out their emotions. which is no blame on them at all. its the system and capitalism

Have you tried to hire someone to fix anything lately? Did you leave the apartment in a condition that required zero upkeep or repair? If you were paying minimal increases for several years it's going to be behind market value. Rents don't and shouldn't stay tethered to what the last person paid

I’d support development of spike strips that deploy beside the bus when this happens. Everyone else is stopped so it should only damage the asshole passing a stopped school bus. A few people stranded with four flat tires whose license is now suspended and they receive a massive ticket might make folks start to think twice. Either that or a tar and feather gun that coats their car so everyone knows they’re an asshole.

Ive heard nothing but horror stories about teaching right now…. Horrible behavior problems, increase in fights, weak fragile kids and denial parents….honestly get rid of social media. I would argue its the cause of all of those issues. (Except reddit of course)
