Brickbat: REMAIN CALM!

The local school board has placed a teacher at Maine's Strong Elementary School on paid leave after she returned from a professional conference in Dallas. Some parents said they feared she may have been exposed to Ebola in the city, where two nurses contracted the disease while caring of a Liberian man who died from it. The hotel where the conference took place is 10 miles from the hospital where the nurses who contracted Ebola worked

ALL IS WELL!
Apparently it will only take a couple more cases to turn that scene from a comedy to a documentary.
As the school could clearly spare this individual to attend a "conference" during the school year, and for their leave, they are unnecessary and should be let go. It's for the children, after all.
Who dares provoke our wrath? [/union]
Tat makes a lot of sense dude.

Is there any cure for Maine? IS THERE A CURE?
Maine is terminal.
The real problem is that this teacher came back terminally infected with some exciting new and innovative conceptualizations of a proactive epistemological methodology for implementing Common Core heuristics on a forward-looking basis.
(Wanna know what the problem with Common Core is? It's the idea that we're all entitled to equal outcomes and every child should be treated the same. I went to a shitty school, but starting in junior high we had three tracks - college-bound, general, and vo-tech - so three different levels of teaching to three different levels of capability and the retards went to their own special school. Now the smartest kid in the school and the dumbest kid in the school are expected to learn the same stuff in the same way at the same pace. That's insane.)
In the schools that I attended, we had to pretend that all students had exactly the same ability. Someone must have known on some level that that wasn't true, or I'd have been a shoo-in for the football team.
Irrational Fear: Highly effective and never takes a break.
I can't wait for a real crisis. Pants will be shat. Heads will explode.
I was gonna say the entire board should be shit-canned, but it appears they just caved to their low info populace... but they should still be shit-canned
Is it time?
