He's supposed to be teaching only English, but they rope him into teaching other things and hide the fact so they don't lose their credentials.

Well, he can explain he's got a curriculum to follow. Right or wrong, whether they agree or not, when the students answer in accordance with the curriculum, they get good grades, and pass. When they don't answer in accordance with the curriculum, they get low, to failing grades, and don't pass.

My younger son got back onto FB and here is his latest:

Imagine the nerve it takes for the mother of 7yo twin girls in my class to say it's okay for her daughters to tell me I'm wrong and that they don't have to listen to me, and in the same conversation, complain her daughters aren't progressing in my class. Now I see where these manipulative little psychopaths got their attitude.

Things were so much simpler 40/50 years ago. If you weren't behaving, NO one was on your side.

Yep that's how it was all right. My parents NEVER got their panties in a knot over us being unfairly accused of something. We were just generally guilty until proven innocent (which they did give us a fair chance to prove. But usually we were guilty as charged).

Oh, interesting here, though Brahma related. My 4H lady in SC who has bought quite a few of Bash's progeny had one of his sons she named Romeo. One of Romeo's sons came out solid black. I wonder if whatever causes Bailey to lose more of her pattern every time she molts (she's partridge, now just barely, almost completely brown) is the same thing that caused that guy to come out with no pattern at all. Here he is:

You're a mod, Lisa! I was trying to figure what you were being congratulated for and finally just noticed, duh! Congrats, I think. I did that for about 5 years, but I really burned out at that point. I hope you love it. I'm modding a private group on Facebook so back in the game, but some days, I'm not sure how long I'll do it. I refused the position for months before I finally gave in.
