It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

shit, i'm getting hung up on the
is he really bragging about how to fit 42 students in a classroom? or is it worse, somehow?
"Education operator"
I hate the antichrist

What's wrong with "professional educator? "
'Professional educator' isn't really a problem, although it's just a longer businessified 'professor' or ' teacher'
But 'educational operator' is another one of those signifiers of the breakdown of the world into 'consultants', 'managers', 'engineers' and 'operators'. Where consultants give ideas to managers for engineers to design which are then used by operators. Which creates a hell of a lot of distinctions where there is generally more overlap.
Hell, saying they worked on 'improvement of communication technologies for teaching' is better because it is more distinct and less technocratic.
technically, or at least historically, a "professional" has received accreditation / license from a body developed by and for those belonging to a profession, which typically has requirements of "continuing education" to maintain that license as well as some other rules and duties that, if broken, can result in the revoking of the license. doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers etc.
this resume reads like some douche with an MBA from wherever the fuck, which is basically some accounting classes and some ideological priming before being sent out to work at Kinsey or for someone's dad, where they never have to take a test ever again and are subject to nothing.
that sounds about right, yeah. I mean even when I was in school it was edging up into the 30s, at a pretty decent school.
But the bit about utilization and scheduling makes me think it's also probably about scheduling things so that they can hot-desk all the teachers around and decrease their prep time by 10% (aka "increasing utilization" because these ghouls think teachers are only doing anything when they're physically in front of children). Or it could be something about the hot-desk arrangement where they're increasing the utilization of the available classrooms by 10%.
I don't think the next letter is "s" (I think it's a small letter with a straight line on the left side like m, n, p, or r), so it isn't "42 students," and I think an "education operator" is probably a company that runs a private school (or chain of private schools) or something. 42 rooms, maybe?
