(36,335 posts)1. It's clear that Biden can only do what FDR did in a 2nd term, like FDR. So we go back to
the imperative that Nov 5, we not give Trump the "everything" the current SCOTUS will give him.
We will have to neutralize the Charles Koch oligarchic network's plan to capture the three branches government to be like an autocratic business -- the way Wm. Koch has run Trump's kid's private school.
They wanted me to come back but there was no way I was going to let my career be ruined by those people. The atmosphere felt evil and very controlling. It was one of the most disturbing places I have ever worked in under the guise of being an educational environment. It was shocking.
Other teachers praise the quality of the Oxbridge staff but say they work in constant fear for their jobs. Thats the part thats so disheartening, said one. Its a great school. I love the people I work with and they truly care and they give of themselves greatly to these students. Above and beyond doesnt even begin to explain how much they give, she said.
If Oxbridge were a Fortune 500 company with so much turnover, she said, theyd be looking at the head and saying, Whats going on? Are you incapable of making proper hires or what?
Said one teacher, Were doing great things on the educational side but the administration is just rotten....
Koch, when asked about the turnover, said he hadnt done a count but that he ascribed to the philosophy of corporate titan Jack Welch, retired chairman of General Electric, that you turn over the bottom 10 percent every year.
