Teaching as a profession sucks ass in general right now… but at least a lot of the special educator-specific bullshit is not my problem anymore. But thank you.

Someone told me that if I wanted to be a history teacher I should get a degree in special Ed to “make myself more marketable.” It took 14 years to get out of special education and land a job teaching history

History teacher here. If this was turned in to me, rhe first thing I’d do is laugh, then have a conversation with the student. If s/he says they’d be ok with me emailing a copy of this to their parents (I’m assuming the parents speak Chinese), then I’d just give them an A for pure gall. If the kid isn’t from a Chinese-speaking family, I’d probably still give him/her kudos and then make them turn in whatever they put into Google translate to begin with. But really, this is the kind of malicious compliance I wish my students had the creativity to pull off.
