I’m really hoping it goes through for all those hardworking educators out there. It would give them options & choices. Something that we have far too little of! Doesn’t apply to me; I’m too young ( first thing in a while I’ve been too young for 🙃). However, I’m pulling for all my colleagues!

What is favorable sbout the bill?

Yo, inept California legislators, take a bong hit and wash it down with some local vodka...and then write a similar bill.

...I say this because CA's leaders would only make choices to benefit the people of the state if they were totally high.

Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
