In local follow up:
The wind is howling outside, sky is gray, and we just got a campus email alert.
FTA: We are under ..."a flood watch, a wind advisory, and a hazardous weather outlook. . .This system has the capability to cause serious and catastrophic flooding ...".
Because there is stupid, and then there is Kentucky STUPID.

These are 4 public campuses doing it. IMHO we should be doing that sort of thing here, but no one asked my opinion.

As I said, I am not telling any of you what to do, but hey, if you want to pay for the rich kids to go to their hoity toity schools while you pay for it with your taxes and your local public school loses, I got nothing for you now.

In Kentucky #fuckery. Not that I would tell folks what to do, but if you just DGAF about public schools, have at it. Just let the elites send their kids to private schools on your tax dime.

Again, reasons why I would never go back to school teaching, and why I seriously worry about my students going into student teaching now.

More on the Pine Mountain Settlement incident, a lot more charitable than I would be, somewhat bordering on "two-sideism." The Waymakers were bullied by local thugs. It is not more complicated than that.

Because there are clusterfucks, and then there is this. Holy shit! How the fuck you still got kids on a bus at 10pm? Not even airlines managing their #FlyingCattleCars are this incompetent nor their software as awful as the PoS this school district apparently used for their buses.
