The story I heard is that it’s real, but the buckets of cat litter are actually there for kids to go in during school shooter lockdowns.

Cat litter is also a staple for spill cleanup, particularly when it involves vomit

I’ve heard that same thing but have never seen any sort of confirmation of that being the case.

My sister’s boyfriend told me that it was happening in Scotland, according to his uncle or something. That one lie has spread so far and nobody has bothered to check if it is false

You don’t have to respect it, but you’ve got to admit they have an enormous number of armed chids with genocidal intent

Heavily armed (for a civilian population not involved in a civil war), incredibly stupid and extremely angry about their collapsing standards of living.

Getting the dog catcher to arrest my principal because he was acting human-shaped.

For context, aren’t there parts of Oklahoma that had to institute a 4-day school week because they literally couldn’t afford to pay their teachers for 5 days of work per week? Which is only making their teacher drain worse, since a lot of teachers in Oklahoma move to Texas since the pay is much higher and Costs of Living are similar.

Not quite. Teachers get paid the same, but they supposedly save money on transportation, heating/cooling, and support staff.

Based on responses from a sample of 342 districts nationwide, the most common reason cited as a main rationale for adoption (65.1% of districts) was financial savings; districts argue they are saving money by reducing costs such as transportation, heating, and support staff salaries (Thompson et al., in press). Districts acknowledge that reducing the school week by 1 day, or 20%, would not reduce spending by 20%, as teachers technically work the same number of hours, so their contracts, which comprise the greatest cost for the district, are not affected.

But the brain drain is completely real. Oklahoma pays teachers around $10-20k per year less than all of its bordering states on average. A first year teacher in Tulsa makes $43k per year. For comparison, in Dallas, a first year teacher at minimum makes $56,000. And Tulsa’s not that much cheaper to live in.
