Sad state of KCMO School District (as if you didn't already know)
My cousin took a job teaching at Central High School at the start of the current school year. He recently quit. When I asked him what happened he replied:
nothing "happened" really. i just hated it. it's the worst run place you can imagine. i worked there for almost a month and never got a contract. the first week of school, i didn't have enough desks. it was total clusterf*ck and is run by imbeciles. and the kids, while not "bad", are totally out of control. they literally will not shut up for 1 minute. there are a handful of good ones but the out-of-control ones are so unmanageable that it's miserable for everyone. my "best friend" there was this woman who's worked there for 17 years and when i told her my decision she said, "i hate to see you go, but you made the right decision. you don't want to work for these people (the district) and you don't want to have to become the kind of person/teacher that being here requires you to be..."
that pisses me off and i don't even live in KCMO.
