Not a teacher, but a type of specialist working in public school. The list is long but two things that come to mind are 1. an increase in unsafe behavior/extreme disruption and 2. failure to recruit and retain direct service staff (paras and interventionists) due to inadequate pay relative to the stresses of the job.

First off, when numbers Are actually compared, CO2 levels actually don't mean shit. Actual data shows temperature has remained the same. Unaltered data showed that from 1890's to the 1980's, the Earth temperature remained the same. That was actual scientific studies. Then, they altered the data to fit the narrative.

Second, ever hear of Carl Sagan's history of the planet stretched out onto a calendar year? Given the billions of years that the planet is. Mankind, in all of his existence arrives in the last couple of minutes for the year. Now, meaning Mankind shows up at December 31st at 11:59 and 45 seconds. Now, break that down to the Industrial Revolution and forward, we are just about 1.5 seconds compared to the actual age of the planet.

Now, however, Mankind can destroy the planet in mere seconds with a Nuclear War. Aside from that, one volcano eruption outputs more CO2 than what Mankind does in one year.

Want to know what scares me more? That, we are the closest we have ever been to complete annihilation do to a Nuclear War than I ever remember. We have a Corrupt Asshole sitting in the White House. Hell bent to get us into WW3 to protect himself and other politicians on both sides from everyone knowing their corrupt secrets. There are certain people on both parties that have been funneling money through Ukraine. Their families getting rich from that corrupt country. And, no one is protesting. We are virtually on the cusp of WW3 and where are the young people protesting? I turn 60 this week. Never had any kids. But, my God, anyone and everyone in their 30's and below should be in the streets protesting. Your World is About to be destroyed by our Corrupt, dementia filled of a President and yet there is no whisper of a protest? Where do you think this Ukraine thing is heading to? Just more involvement by the US, with no clear strategy laid out. As we send more equipment over, it just commits the US further in. Again, with no winning strategy or goal in mind. Then, before, anyone realizes it, we are completely in WW3. Only outcome of that war is all out Nuclear War. And with it, the end of ALL LIFE ON THIS PLANET! IF you truly believe all that false data about so climate change, how come your not out there protesting against dementia Biden?,And, corrupt and too old Sanders? They are leading you, me and everyone else to extinction. Yet, not a word. No protests. No shouting out about how you want to live. Until you shout out to the true enemies, until then, your words are meaningless. Until then and only then, they are words from fools. For they enemy is right before you. And you ignore him because your pride tells you so. Only, it will be too late by the time you realize your senseless pride was wrong. And, the true destruction of this planet was Biden and those who foolishly allowed him to be in power to do so. Need only look at yourself in the mirror as seconds count down for Mankind.

thats what im saying

Doesn't this same thing get posted on here fairly often? Always Starlink satellites.

I saw something like that once in Williston, I was pretty sure they were helicopters at the time, but I never did truly find out. It was kinda spooky honestly.

Lack of accountability for students, parents and even admin

I send out emails as well, but I don't have the power to get them picked up.

With parents who care, it works.

The Orion Mystery, Robert Bauval. “As above, so below.”

Great! It brought business into a struggling southern VT city.

Sometimes you have to inconvenience the parents for it be taken seriously. Make the parent come pick them up.

Saw it from Chelsea.

Poor pic from my phone. Best I could do. Had to look it up but came to the starlink conclusion. Never saw anything like it before.

Bingo. Hey OP, tell me what impact Vermont has on the global climate?

> Budget keeps getting cut

lol, when has a school budget even been cut in this state?

Edit: Literally every school budget I look up is up at least 20% from 2019. And that doesn't include the several million that every district received in COVID funds

Sounds like the same reasons cops have been quitting for years.

Accountability matters. The state and your school districts don’t want accountability for themselves or the students.

You reap what you sow.

Interesting. Cool little fact.

Space junk. Be prepared to see it more often.

First US edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was printed in Brattleboro.

> Given that, there is still No way that we, as Man, have affected our environment to that point ye

source please. because in my opinion, 200 years is plenty of time for the dominant species on a planet to affect that planet

While the original post is not VT related, there is a legit Vermont connection to Harry Potter in that the first US edition of the first book was printed in Brattleboro.

Um, yes we have. C02 has drastically risen in the last 100 years.

First thank you for working with young kids. But what shocks you in preschool behavior? Kids who are 3-4 are still very much learning to socialize. Lots of kids exhibit behaviors in response to the environments they are in - so, are they getting enough free play/self led time? Quiet time? Gentle coaching on social interactions?

Basically, nothing would shock me in preschool behavior. They are there to practice being part of a group several years before brain science tells us they truly understand what that means (age 6).

Not a teacher, but support staff member in a VT school here. In addition to the behavior issues mentioned by others, there are a few things that come to mind.

• Large pay discrepancies between school districts- typically districts in more populated/wealthy areas have a higher salary scale than ones in less populated areas. These gaps make it hard for rural districts/schools to maintain consistent staffing as many teachers try to move into higher paying districts after a year or two. The constant staff turnover can have a major impact on school climate and consistency of instruction provided. Teachers absolutely deserve every cent that the higher paid districts can pay- it would just be great to offer that same level of pay throughout the whole state.
• Overall, the workload seems overwhelming. Even when teachers are not "on the clock", they are often planning lessons and replying to emails from parents/admin. During the school day there are things that fill up every minute- almost no down time. Dealing with the behavior issues is a big part of it. It's turned into the kind of job that can burn you out really quick- unless you can find a school/admin who really works hard to create a work/life balance, provides appropriate staff to support teachers, and gives plenty of time for planning.
• Support staff in general are often paid dramatically less than teachers- often times some of the lowest paid folks are the paraprofessionals who are working with specific students. These folks are often working in really demanding positions that require them to be fully engaged all day- the students that they are working with really rely on their support. It's wild that they are often paid so little when they are doing such important work. The low pay makes it hard to keep those positions filled, which can mean that sometimes students who need extra support are not getting it- and that can disrupt the whole classroom.

I also want to say that there are so many things that are going WELL in VT schools- educators and support staff really stepped up to the plate during remote learning, and now have adapted to meet so many of the new needs of students as in-person learning has resumed. Teachers have found so many new ways to engage and provide opportunities for students- VTer's should be really proud of our educators.

Thank you for taking the time to work through the writing of this.
