Interesting, thanks for sharing. Quite the convoluted system we've concocted for ourselves, and it doesn't appear to be helping with ensuring teachers get raises!

My memory is not failing. It is molting.

This is the part I'm most curious about. I've heard NACS is at 11%? If they truly care about teacher pay, why not 0% that? What, specifically, is that supporting?

There's no union, yet they're bound by collective bargaining agreements. No space for the best teachers to be rewarded yet essentially guaranteed to keep your job even if you're a poor performer. The system is broken, and I don't think a referendum was going to fix that.

We're fully remote, but do have a number of people in the Boston area so you wouldn't be on an island.

Why? What? Don't want to be a downer, but... What? This looks like somebody thought, "What if we make it like Harry Potter?"

Does this mean the gear I bought over the last few seasons is now vintage?

He's dead!

It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.

This feels oddly familiar to the Svelte journey.
