There’s sometimes complaints about “I thought you were dead” when the channel has been uploading regularly the entire time.

Every once in a while, if you have the “notifications” on for a creator it’ll just randomly turn it off. I have a creator that I pay $1/mth subscription to, which you would think YouTube would take as a suggestion that I like that channel and show me when they upload something new. Nope! Instead the algorithm thinks I want to watch a fucking Neo Nazi musician.

If you’d like some advice as to how to start, let me know. I’d be happy to provide you with some advice on how to start.

Do you have established communities of national board certified teachers with Google drives full of resources who are happy to provide timely advice on classroom management?

The people who use social media platforms and the content they post are sometimes enough to make you have to ignore how shit the platform is, especially when those groups are hard to find elsewhere. I’ve not seen a lot on Lemmy, piefed or mastodon that makes me feel I can confidently talk shop teaching wise.

My elected representatives, as well as representatives of government departments are also often much easier to reach via Facebook than any other platform.

But the definition of a small town in US is much bigger than most other developed places

This is the type of town that I had in mind when I was writing my comment..

Closest high school is Elk City, which you have to drive to, on the interstate. There is no public transit anywhere on this map.

It was an email address, listed in a profile. Clickable, but not copyable. Was happy to pop as a new email draft up in the IOS Mail app. Just not able to populate into the field of the drafted email I had already written and had open.

It would be nice to discard Facebook, but unfortunately activism and awareness raising requires going into the spaces people already are. It’s also where most teacher communities are, and the kind of 50 year plus classroom management wizard that I want to be getting advice from is not going to be on the fediverse.

Along those lines, I’ve noticed autocorrect has gotten somehow worse in the past ten years - it’ll sometimes try to correct words that are correctly spelled but uncommon to completely random words.

There are enough kids in nearby schools

Maybe in a big city. The district I worked the most for was big enough that most matches were within the district. But when you think about most small towns, which maybe have one or two high schools, that’s not going to be true at all.

Even with that - are the nearby schools the same division? Lots of sporting leagues have restrictions on who can play who (bigger schools playing bigger schools instead of smaller ones, an attempt to be fair usually).

Heck, even leaving sports out I drove an hour out for a FIRST tournament recently.

“Common sense” is completely and utterly irrelevant to the legal system. It is simply a matter of who can afford a better lawyer. And LA Fitness can hire a better lawyer than you can.

The thing is, for every story like your mother, there’s ten girls who were married off to their rapist and forced to drop out of school.

Marriage cannot be the solution for child abuse.

“Fun” fact! Marriage is a defense to statutory.

In rural Oklahoma, you can fuck a teenager as long as you put a ring on it.
