For me, yes definitely. But I'm glad that you're doing fine. Maybe you can check out the new drawing I've made.
Aw. Thank you! Your drawing was very cute and expressive, too, as I said in reply to it.
Sadly, people are trying to get me fired. Parents of three of my students are saying that they don't want someone who has the same disability as their children teaching their children, out of fear that I will be a bad influence. Some other teachers in the school who don't even know me think the same. The people who hired me
love me and will not fire me. That aside, I have been getting so much grief for doing nothing wrong and it is plain tiring. I love the work itself and I love my students. I hate the toxic behavior of bigots. I hate worrying about how the parents who think my opinions are automatically awful must view their own children.
And, to two of those three parents, just because I have a different opinion does not mean I want to pick a fight. If I like MacIntoshes better than PCs, and you like PCs, that isn't an excuse to say I am a bad person who exists to teach your sons to argue. You
asked which I prefer. Are you really going to pin me into these kinds of childish traps? Why? Is this to pat yourselves on the backs while you look for any pathetic excuse to defend your prejudice?
These snobs are such a waste of my energy. . .
