Why Does My Union Ignore Critical Thinking?
Let me confide in you: as an English teacher in bustling Chicago, I’m supposed to be the champion of balanced arguments and credible sources. Yet, every time my union drops another one-sided infographic, I feel like I’m living in a satire! 🤦♂️
I spend my days urging students to question, research, and see both sides—then adults, TEACHERS, ignore their own advice. Isn’t it ironic? I’m proud of my profession, but I can’t stand the endless victim narrative. Every job has critics; we’re not unique!
So, am I alone in craving honest, nuanced dialogue? Or is it just easier to stir the pot? Let’s challenge each other: how can we demand credibility from our leaders and ourselves? Maybe you disagree—tell me why! Let’s bridge this gap together. 🧐💬
