Reddit post from r/SeattleWA. Post title: Bishop Blanchet vs. O'Dea. Post text: So we're probably going to pull out son out of Roosevelt at the end of the year and putting him into private school. What's the reputation of BBHS and O'Dea? Which one has the better reputation for student behavior and cracking down/low tolerance for bullying?
Reply to original post saying: What are the issues you are dealing with at Roosevelt? OP responds: The place has really gone downhill since they opened that affordable housing complex across the street.
Seattle in a nutshell:
Photograph of a man in a soccer stadium wearing a cap and suit with a blue and white tie. He is standing above a sign that says "TOTTENHAM TIL THEY KILL ME" with a Tottenham logo on the sign as well
Wish they'd try harder to not though.
A farmer and a school superintendent (who grew up on a farm).
I could cosplay middle America so hard.
Taylor Tomlinson absolutely clearing everyone who has ever been "canceled" and then turning to religion to stage a comeback - no notes.

JK the pope actually hates these guys

And yet when the president and his supporters express contempt towards me, my family members, my students, or anyone else who doesn't think or look like them I'm supposed to just what?
Didn't Norway finish with more medals than us?
Reminds me I need to finish CUBA.
Please note - this is in no way a defense of the CB.
Those guys still suck.
Also, race isn't socially constructed???
Guess I'm gonna have to go to work tomorrow and explain to my students that colonialism was actually about exploiting both people and land for capital and not...whatever I must have taught them it was about that wasn't this stuff.
Struggle is good might be the hardest lesson to deliver these days.
Keep doing what you're doing - your students are fortunate to have you!
I think this is exactly it. We will never not believe in our students ability to become better humans tomorrow than they were today. And it's going to take all of us supporting each other to keep doing what we do.
Solidarity my friend.
It's so freaking depressing out there for teachers these days. You have no idea.
But I'll go back to work tomorrow and keep trying to help kids see the wisdom in why looking at different bits of history can tell us cool shit about what we're able to do today.
We needed to push back long ago that there was value to learning things.
That knowing how to think through things and figure shit out was a skill worth having.
Hell, just that fact that you could go out, do a thing, come back and say "I did this."
I hate to say it but this is the natural endpoint of the decades of public discourse commodifying education.
Every article ranking this is the #1 school of blank. Every your major earns X amount dollars listicle. Every only jobs in STEM have a ROI worth pursuing conversation got us to this point.
"On the other hand, John Yoo," are we really doing this on a Monday?!
Haha ya we're pretty spoiled for choice when it comes to commissioners here aren't we?
Cathy Engelbert would like a word.
