I don't lionize mostly useless segments of society.  Most people get out of babysitting by the time they hit twenty.  Grow up and get a real job if you want more money.

😂 people don’t go into teaching for the money.  But you did call them overpaid, and now saying they cry because they don’t make enough.  That’s a fast 180

I feel bad for them too.... Private school teachers tend to make even less, as they aren't required to be certified. 

And zero job security. No tenure. No benefits in a lot of cases.

Wasn't there a private school that just threatened teacher's jobs if they got the COVID vaccine?

They don’t really get 3 months off.  With teacher work days they get about 8 week off over summer.  

ok.  2 months.  Get a real round the calendar job if you want more money.

So do film loggers at NFL films since they have, get this, jobs that don't go year round.  Thank you for bolstering my point.

It could have been my head, luckily I self taught myself in high school (and continued in college) most of the skills (technology, finance) I use today.  So I got out unharmed

Yes. There are reasons to choose a private school. That's one. Or if you want a religious education.  I find the teachers aren't any better... Unless you can afford some ultra-wealthy prep school or something like that.

A lot of nfl films guys are freelance and only contracted for particular jobs aich as hard knocks then they take a contract for another project.  They aren’t technically employed by the nfl.  I have friends that do this so I know how it works.

The whole family-son, daughter, wife-tested positive today.  The wife’s laid up in bed but the kids are fine.  I haven’t tested yet but I’m not sick at all. Granted, I have the blood and BMI of a Greek God so no surprise there.

Hoping they all recover quickly. Tell the kids take it easy with sports / physical activity for a few days.

St. Mark's High School. Wilmington, DE

I was specifically talking about film loggers since I actually know how they operate that section of NFL films.  My roommate was a film logger for them from 2001-2004.  In the offseason he worked at Red Lobster.

 

The happy ending to that story is this: Unlike teachers, he was a motivated person.  Packed up and moved to Cali.  Had some lean times (had to sell his camera to make rent) but he's doing well and is now a producer.  (But he won't float my Weekend At Bernies reboot pitch to anyone  )

I always felt like religion was always a huge driver to private education. No thanks. I'd rather not waste my child's time with more fantasies when they should be educated.

That’s true. But I know people that spend 30k a year on it and their kids can’t pass a basic math test.  It’s scary.  That being said if I was living in Florida I would certainly go public or charter because the school systems there are trash.  Any kid can go to any school they want even if they don’t live in the district.  So the "good” schools are over crowded and that leads to a lot of issues.  I don’t necessarily have an issue with private or charter schools but it really depends on the particular school and what the public system is like.

The school schmoopie worked for assumed that we were sending baby girl there.  So they were surprised when she told them she was leaving

Are you saying if I send baby girl to private school she is destined to become a public school teacher

I went to public school until the 5th grade. Then to Independence -- a private K-8 school in Newark (on Paper Mill Road). Then St. Mark's. 

Archmere was a great school as well, at least back then. Sanford/Tatnall/Tower Hill -- all overpriced and bunch of spoiled rich kids.

Went to Catholic HS as a Hindu. At the HS level, it was actually interesting to read the Bible more as a piece of literature. Classes on things like morality and social justice were the "religion" classed. I actually liked them.

Plus - it was fun when the teachers mocked the Catholic kids for getting lower grades than me.

My brother is in the movie film industry. He’s unionized now.  Makes a crap ton of money.  He started as a freelance type and was working on sets parking cars and worked his way up.  He’s done some really cool stuff that I’m sure everyone here has seen.

They probably told other private school kids to be less poor.
