    Lol kids should give each other nicknames that are classroom objects and terms from the text. Or names of historical figures. “oh, now we can’t say Abraham Lincoln because it’s a nickname”

      It’s only the teachers that can’t use nicknames without parent permission, not the kids.

          Sure it does.

          It makes teachers wonder why, yet again, they’re being forced to bear the brunt of the culture war, and they’re going to eventually quit.

          Then the schools won’t be able to find good teachers, the education system will be further deteriorated, and private schools will become the only schools worth attending, further eroding the future prospects of working-class Floridian children and America as a whole.

          I don’t think that’s the grand strategy at play, I just think the people in charge don’t care if it happens, as long as they get enough praise from their voters.
