SOOOO I was at the park across the street from my condo-walking my dog. News crew stopped me

[demtenjeep]

and asked me if I had a child in the school system-I told them no, I am a teacher.

Well I talked to them about 30 minutes and I guess will be on the local 6 pm news.

I ended with My Job Shouldn't Kill Me

10. You have a union

right?

[demtenjeep]

16. of course

I have always been in the union-even when I student taught

[BGBD]

18. Sweet

Might be worth giving your rep a heads up on the news segment though. Better to be ready if they do raise a fit about it.

[LizBeth]

13. Too many teachers speaking out. They are not going to win this one. 3 in summer school got it

in AZ one is dead. Literally putting oneself in harms way and death.

[Beakybird]

17. You should have said, "I have no problem dying ...

...so that parents can go back to work and die as well.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Very cool, my dear demtenjeep!

May it only bring good things to you.

[FirstLight]

6. nice!

definitely share the link!

[Alliepoo]

7. Yay!! That's pretty cool!

And they’re getting info from a knowledgeable, level headed source!!

[dweller]

8. pls repost with the news clip

as you're not local to many of us 🤔

✌🏼

[demtenjeep]

54. thank you

[dweller]

56. nice quote !

👍🏻

[malaise]

9. Please record it and post it for us

[demtenjeep]

12. I will try

good thing I wore a bra today hehehehehehe

[malaise]

15. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[livetohike]

27. Thanks for the laugh demtenjeep! n/t

[femmedem]

29. I don't think you should repost here because people could scrutinize everything you posted on DU.

If you posted the video, anyone could identify you and scrutinize your posts for anything that could be deemed inappropriate for a teacher.

I mean, it would be like changing your screen name to your real name.

[progressoid]

36. this

[moonscape]

39. Stamp! n/t

[diva77]

42. THIS +1,000,000 There is a whole cottage industry devoted to tracking

corporate employees and others online to gather info to potentially use against them.

[demtenjeep]

53. Those fucks at the cave already know my name

and I live rent free in their minds.

They look up my salary, they copied pictures of my home when we sold it. My attorney is watching.

[diva77]

65. what is "the cave?"

[Sogo]

66. I'm concerned about that, too.

But couldn't she just start an entirely new DU account and let the current one fade into the far past?

[marlakay]

40. That's funny, something I would say

I tend to wear one on my walks so I don't get the look!

[3catwoman3]

41. Oh, that is too funny.

[Rhiannon12866]

70. She did a really good job, especially considering she was just approached on the street.

[malaise]

71. Oh yes!

[demmiblue]

11. Well, this will prove interesting (on several different levels). n/t

[FM123]

14. Oh I am so glad you got interviewed for the news!

I think it is so important for the viewing public to hear what real teachers have to say!

[tblue37]

19. I bet that line gets emphasized in the clip! nt

[Dem2]

20. Nice!

I shy away from cameras, always wonder how people are so brave.

[Solomon]

21. Be careful. I was interviewed by the news years ago and they spliced and diced it to say what they

wanted to say and not what I actually said!

[soothsayer]

35. Yeah, you can feel slimed after any media interaction

Some reporters are awesome though.

[onecaliberal]

22. Good for you!

[niyad]

23. Excellent. The crew certainly picked the correct person! Looking forward to

your report.

[Alex4Martinez]

24. Will you share a link if/when it comes out?

I know it would violate any anonymity you wish to enjoy but would love to see it!

I've been on the news a few times as a teacher, it's remarkable how quickly they turn around raw interview into a story.

[demtenjeep]

25. I will share if I can

I'm pretty technology challenged from one source to another.

Maybe the station will post the story-I hope so

[cwydro]

28. If they do, then all you have to do is link to the story.

We look forward to it.

[demtenjeep]

55. yes

[Alex4Martinez]

30. Sweet! I can help offline.

I'm good with digging into a webpage code to find a video link.

If you send their website when it airs, I should be able to isolate the specific code for a permanent link or even extract the video for you to keep, so that it doesn't depend on their website.

[demtenjeep]

33. cool

thank you

[livetohike]

31. Great! It's time people heard the truth and concerns of

teachers. I’m glad that you were interviewed .

[DFW]

32. That turned out better than my one "ask the man on the street" interview.

It was in January, 2008, and I was in New York City for work. I was stopped on 7th Avenue by a TV crew looking for "man-in-the-street" comments about the primary race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. It was a GERMAN TV crew. I told them that these were both people I had met, and admired--IN GERMAN. They were rendered speechless that the first American they stopped on the street in Manhattan not only spoke fluent German, but had met both candidates. They were very appreciative of my time, but said I was totally useless to them, as the German public was thoroughly convinced that the average American on the street would never be fluent in German, and therefore suspect that the interview was staged.

I told them that in that case, they should go do their filming in Tennessee or some such place, because New York City was the one place in the USA where they should NEVER stop someone at random and assume he DOESN'T speak this or that language.

[cannabis_flower]

43. They should have..

just stopped you when you started speaking German and asked you to answer in English instead.

[DFW]

49. They didn't seem prepared for the situation

They might not have been in New York long. I‘m sure it‘s a plum assignment for a TV crew from München. The senior correspondent can stay for years if he is deemed to do a good job, but the anonymous crews behind the cameras probably rotate regularly.

[hurple]

34. With that closing line

You will definitely be used in the story. That's a "going viral" soundbite if there ever was one.

[spanone]

37. ⭐️⭐️⭐️K&R ⭐️⭐️⭐️

THANK YOU

[WyattKansas]

38. The Republican response would be...

'It is your duty to die for your country and get the president re-elected. Only someone that hated America would say no. The benefit of this disaster is that there will be a lot of opportunity to capture more income from others and capitalize on their losses.'

Yes, they are that fucked up.

[mcar]

44. I'd love to see the clip when it airs

[demtenjeep]

62. yes

https://www.kake.com/story/42363720/states-plan-for-schools-coming-wednesday-wichita-school-district-decision-one-week-away

[barbtries]

45. how cool is that?

if you're comfortable doing so, I'd love to watch the clip!

[aggiesal]

46. What station? ...

Maybe someone could record it and post it here.

[warmfeet]

47. With you 100%.

If jobs kill, why would anyone do them?

[demtenjeep]

48. Well-they used 3 good soundbites and I have nothing to be ashamed of except my fat face

and they ended with Jobs shouldn't kill us

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

52. Good for you! You had the presence of mind to make that very important point.

More shame to Pissolini that such a fact has to be pointed out.

[Joinfortmill]

50. Way to go!

[Sucha NastyWoman]

51. Perfect!

I don’t want your job to kill you,either.

And I worry what it will do the psyche of a child whose parents are willing to risk their life?

[Tipperary]

64. Are you the same as demtenjeep or is this a different interview?

I think I missed something.

[Rhiannon12866]

68. This is the followup thread posted by demtenjeep which includes her interview

She's the teacher they interviewed while she was walking her dog.

[Tipperary]

72. Thanks, I was up way past my bedtime lol.

[Rhiannon12866]

73. This thread got more attention than the followup thread, so I didn't want you to miss the interview

[Tipperary]

74. Thanks, it makes sense to me now lol.

I think I got lost in links!

[Rhiannon12866]

75. That happens to me all the time!

[MustLoveBeagles]

60. I've seen it

You did great.
