That’s a dumb argument. People are going to commit all types of crime, big or small. We don’t legalize literally everything because of that.

They're not. They're pretty open about them. But it's the same reason people of all political walks hide their face when they aren't popular. It's not like anyone here would ask why protestors and/or Antifa hide their face.

That's the worst. Meeting about how to do something instead of giving people time to do something. I'm convinced that's the most vicious, real form of bureaucracy there is. So many meetings about so many things that don't matter - probably to keep teachers from just preparing better so that they're better at their jobs.

That's the big thing at my previous school. We had advisory, like every other school I know of, but it was always better used for just giving kids time to do work. Projects and other bullshit occupied time, but the mundane, lay-of-the-land solution was "give people time to do what they need". Always bothered me.

Good fucking luck. Three grades means three different preps. So teachers are evaluated randomly on our ability to teach wildly different courses. Prepare a good geometry lesson but not give enough attention to your pre-Calc? Precisely when admin walks in to evaluate you and tell you what your lessons lack.

This is why teachers are leaving. The only people who'd take that are teachers who want a foot in the door and think they'll be appreciated (they won't be) and those who know it'll at least get them up a grade on the payscale when they leave. If they even keep teaching.

I'd say good luck, but good luck for Leominster here will ruin a teacher. I don't want that.

Correct. Very few are walkable, though I've seemingly lived in all of them in Europe then. The test for me is whether or not my mother could walk to the store on her own and get what she needs. In Boston, she cannot. If she has to rely on the T then that's less walkable than not relying on the T, but in decades past, grocers' have shut down and businesses turned into chains. I wish she didn't need a car, but she does.

>"Here’s what I see all across this great city – people working together to make Boston a better place to live and to raise children, to grow and pursue dreams.”

I guess the people failed, given how fewer people will have kids in the city, stay here, and probably are getting priced out because they pursued their dreams.

Some parts are. Most parts aren't. Anyone who says the city is walkable is coming from bumfuck nowhere and trying to aggrandize the city. I'm both from the city and I travel a lot. Boston has more in common with European suburbs than the cities themselves, but plenty of parts are cut off.

Keep in mind that some people say "walkable" includes transit, while others don't. I can see either point. Regardless, those who have cars are at a huge advantage. Only when it's mainly a disadvantage for the city does "walkable" start to shift in balance.

One teacher for all three? Or one teacher for each grade?

Many math teachers I work with came from those careers because they were bored out their gourd.

On one hand, people want companies like TikTok to be stopped. On the other, they would fight off any attempt to regulate the internet. What is it people would actually want, let alone support?

Making it a utility would "normalize" having, using, and needing the internet, but the government should work against that. Especially since it can't contain what's on there at the moment, and can't really even help people. It barely regulates anything, and then it doesn't really enforce what it has on paper. Get to that point, then maybe it should consider it a utility.

We used to be like 6th or something. We’ve actually reduced taxes.

Nothing else. Keep it the same.

We all know it reflects poorly on my neighbor. I don't think anyone questioned that. The problem is one of lines. Does it reflect poorly on her husband, whom I haven't witnessed do that - and can't imagine, because he's very sweet? Does it reflect poorly on her kids who talk gruff like her, but whom I still haven't heard say anything like that? Does it reflect on the politician?

Now, if that politician takes a photo with my neighbor, do I call the politician a racist? I think we all know it doesn't transmit like COVID.

>If Healey was buddies

For one, friendship is a lot broader than that, and runs a lot deeper. I don't stop being friends with someone just because of a handful of, granted, major flaws. If anything, they're my responsibility.

Two, I'm not talking buddies though, am I? I'm talking photos with random supporters who come up to you and ask for one.

>it's almost silent support.

Why is it on Diehl to address it? Because it would please you? That's a great point to make if you run PR and it's your job to obsess about these things, but we're talking about normal, rational people. Not people who use conspiracy-adjacent lines of thinking.

They don't support fascism. That's misconstrued from a lack of perspective. A lot of non-Christians, non-denominational people, and your basic, city liberal often focus on management instead of deep, underlying concerns that come to governing, running, or even having a society. There then ends up being a mistranslation of philosophy.

Unfortunately, the left has been absolutely gutted since post WWII, and especially since they lost again and again before the 1980s, which then got us Reagan (Carter was very complicit as well but skates by because he builds homes, apparently). It's now become one of managing others and eking out small victories that are spun as massive ones.

A lot of right-wingers hate fascism. They just see it from another position. That's why it's a cliché that's not worth anyone's time. The obvious highlights were when people criticized Trump for implementing policies that were mainly started during Obama's administration, but which people thought originated from Trump. You can go on like that - this city, and this sub in particular epitomize that sort of basic outlook. It's just not going to lead to much difference.

Diehl is a tool and won't win, thankfully, but what is a politician realistically supposed to do? Vet everyone before taking a photo using a team of experts working at lightning speed? I had a Facebook feed of some of the most insufferable people I know who epitomized bitter, toxic culture about 7 years ago taking pictures with Bernie and Clinton. Plenty of unliked celebrities - usually minor - came out for Sanders too. What's supposed to happen? My neighbor has casually dropped the n-word before but she had a Healey sign. How does that reflect on Healey?

And it isn't a rhetorical question. What are you real expectations there?

You're really big on both quoting Hitler and calling Christians Nazis lmao. Quotes aren't a substitute for a real opinion though.

Ah. I just did it all through my master's.

Do you need a BA?

You can take the MTEL or you can take a class. That class is usually part of your master's now anyway, so there's no point in trying to beat it (my experience).

I don't think you need some preliminary teaching license though. You start with an initial and move up to a professional.

I've heard of it happening on Reddit but not in real life. The people I know renting in real life have some great deals. I wonder if people who are will be more likely to fill this out.
