Another Teacher In Oklahoma Showed Up At School Drunk This Week…

@NewRaven Teacher shortages and I think they are scraping the bottom of the barrel to round up enough to have a teaching staff at some of these schools.

@cherokeepatti I get that… maybe time for a new strategy to teaching our kids tho instead of scraping the bottom of the barrel

@NewRaven the legislature doesn’t want to pass a bill where parents can get tax credits for sending their children to private schools. They should be able to do that. And avoid public schools that way.

@cherokeepatti Ohio has passed such a bill, but not to get tax credits, but rather to get part of the tuition paid, which is on a sliding scale depending on parent income. I make a good living and still get a portion of tuition paid.

@NewRaven The state could easily do that, they were doing it for the private Epic schools during Covid, paying them what they pay public schools. But Epic schools was an online school and didn’t have nearly as many business expenses like public school. They didn’t have a school grounds to maintain, only had a small building they leased, didn’t have to hire a school nurse, a security guard, pay a lot of money for a/c, heating or water or toilet paper & paper towels, and didn’t have classroom spaces to clean or a school cafeteria. Basically most of their expenses were leasing the building, paying for internet, paying for the online teaching staff, and educational materials. So after Covid was over they started investigating and acted like they were being defrauded. Anyone with common sense could have figured this out before it happened.
