  1. I’ve done two tours at inner-city middle schools; one was 96% Hispanic and 2/3rds ELL, and the other was 75% Black. In both cases it was the curriculum that got to me. I also taught at a school that went from grade 6 to grade 12.
  2. I know lots of teachers whom absolutely despise working with middle schoolers! My mom taught 1st grade for 34 years, but she refused to work with kids older than 4th grade.
  3. I do that; I had a transgender student last semester and I usually used “Mr. X” to refer to him. Calling your students by their last name is more of a high school thing, though. I’ve never had it go over well with middle schoolers.
  4. If it’s anything like where I work, it shows on the roster if a student is transgender; it has the new name in parentheses. Roncali fired a teacher in a manner inconsistent with Indiana law.
  5. Big difference between an employer breaking the law and a teacher being uppity.
  6. If the music teacher doesn’t like Brownsburg’s policies, he can teach somewhere else.
  7. What does the Indiana Code list as grounds for non-renewal? Insubordination is a cause in Nevada.
  8. If the board says “call the student by the chosen first name”, then the teacher shall obey.
  9. Lol he’d gotten fired where I work, and probably shot by a P.O.’ed parent or kid.
  10. Death washes away sins. Indy schools were kept segregated by Lugar.
  11. The burden of proof is on he who accuses, not he who denies. Not exactly in the same category as Baltimore.
  12. They are good examples of Tory governments and their outcomes- 3rd rate education systems, crumbling roads, poor social services...
