Florida teachers and students bored, kids raising hell
"DeSantis has left us with absolutely nothing to teach," says disgruntled teacher Betty Smith of Gainesville Elementary School.
I popped in on a Florida school to see how everybody is coping with a ‘DeSantis Education’.
"DeSantis has left us with absolutely nothing to teach," disgruntled teacher Bertha White of Gainesville Elementary School told me adding, “The kids are bored and they are wilding. It’s dangerous to be here.”
“We’re frustrated as heck, Tom. Sorry, I think ‘heck’ is on the governor’s list of banned words. Oh, boy - I’m in trouble now.”
I assured her that no one reads my column and that she doesn’t need to worry. This seemed to calm her.
“Okay then - some truth. This is the stupidest thing we’ve ever seen in Floridian politics. And it has been a real fucking shit show for decades now. I’ve tried to get out of here for years - the northern states won’t let me in to teach. I guess I could find work in the food industry.”
She paused for a second and asked me, “You’re positive nobody reads your column, right?”
I told her that I only do this column for myself. My shrink had recommended some sort of writing to ease my anxiety as I was getting addicted to benzos and writing my column was therapy. I popped another Xanax and she continued.
“Fuck DeSantis, fuck Florida. I don’t care anymore. I just can’t. I work 12 hours a day for minimum wage.
“At least I used to 12 hours a day. I have no prep work to do these days. DeSantis and the fucking GOP have banned teaching anything of any benefit to any student in this hellhole of a state. They’ve memorized the 10 commandments. DeSantis rule. The Muslim students are sure they are going to burst into flames and the atheists just ignore me.
“I’m totally useless to anyone. I guess I could run for Representative as a Republican. That seems to work for many unemployable people in Florida. Matt Gaetz comes to mind, and let’s not forget Bible Boy, Mario Rubio.
“They don’t do anything worthwhile for the country. I mean, if Jim Jordan, MTG and GED poster girl Lauren Boebert can do it, how hard can it be?
“I realize that I’ll have to be an asshole but Floridians seem to go for that.”
