    Not surprising that bigots have low literacy and poor spelling. The bigot wants to learn nothing new. Education risks enlightening them and destroying them (by turning them into no-a-bigot). Put your hands over your / you’re / yer ears and scream LALALALALALALA when someone starts trying to educate you. Especially the gays.

    Obv sarcasm at the end, if people aren’t able to tell.

    I had a gay teacher in highschool in a country that was super homophobic, he was one of the best teachers Ive ever had. Super kind and suportive

      I’ve had up to 9.5 hour days at school (7:50am - 5:20 pm). Only at most twice a week though, on other days school ended at 1 pm.

      This also includes 2 hours of breaks along the day by way.

      In my city the norm is 7 hours, different start times depending on grade group. Elementary is 8am-3pm, Middle is 9am-4pm, Highschool was 7am-2pm (I fucking hated waking up for HS).

      If you’re doing a club, now you’re stuck there for at least another hour, and if you have no car and no person to pick you up/drop you off from after school activities, your ass has to wait for the activity bus, which left at 5pm in HS

      So no regular schooldays being 8 hrs, but if you do extracurriculars, it’s certainly long…

        Isn’t that the truth? I’m hoping for major social changes from the current administration so we can, hopefully, change some of those ideas. Austerity must end and billionaires should not exist!

        Lots of existing dinosaurs need to take their selfishness and GTFO. I do not mind paying taxes if it helps people, not corporations, thrive, even if I or my family do not personally benefit from. That’s what a lot of our current leadership around the world does not understand or chooses to be the worst examples of humans you could imagine. We are only as good as the worst off of our people.

      it’s a problem for natives because they first learnt English by listening and reapeating what they heard, and spoken all those words sound the same. they only saw them written down years later when learning to read and write

        There’s similarities in my native language and people don’t have much trouble with it. And our grammar rules are harder to understand. So it’s more likely because of the education itself.

          I agree with your sentiment, these aren’t kids failing to nail the nuances of American English perfectly after a dozen years or something. I’ve seen directors/supervisors in business fail to know the correct usage in emails.

          Also, at least we don’t have to know what gender a dishwasher is in English, it’s just about the only thing it has going for it!

    I wouldn’t be concerned at all about a gay teacher but I’d be very worried to have priests or conservative politicians anywhere near my children.

      The conclusion of this gay teacher worry is always just banning men from being teachers because you see men as predators. Most likely because they voluntarily surround themselves with predators and encourage it.

        Men are banned because they’re predators and women are banned because they belong in the house. Very sensible “conservative” policy yet again.

      Homosexuals are overrepresented in studies on paedophiles, but in absolute numbers there would probably be more straight peaedophiles as there are far more straight people than gay people

      Edit: the most recent ratio I found was approx 1.4:1 hetero:homo pedos. Pretty wild considering only 2% of the population is homosexual

        Yeah I read some studies about that recently and many of those studies were done in the 1980s and 1990s which I feel was a more biased environment for these particular types of studies. Do you have any links to studies done in the last 15 years?

          More biased? Hall & Hall 2007 is the only I recall a date for. Have you tried searching? If so, perhaps the lack of recent studies is due to the taboo or potential career suicide of correlating homosexuals and paedophilia now

        That’s the difference between homosexual and gay. Yes, homosexual pedos are more common, but the perpetrator hardly ever lives as an openly gay man (nor is he attracted to adult men).

        Gay people and homo pedos are simply two distinct groups

          Isnt it also that in most cases “pedo” takes priority over “hetero/homo”. Basically if you are attracted to children, the genders doesnt really matter. But usually men have easier access to boys than to girls so more often, reported cases are of homosexual paedophilia.

    I only had 36 week “hours” (à 45 mins) in the last years of high school (16-18 yo). All the time before, we always had under 30 week “hours”.

    What kind of modern school has 8h (à 60 mins) of the same teacher every day?

    I’d feel that you should have had the same level of education that my child being taught by a homosexual school teacher had, but for obvious reasons, never got.
