the parantheticals are referencing teacher names to tell which room to go to for that presentation – left in a couple so you could appreciate the very appropriate location for the Law Enforcement presentation

these options leave a lot to be desired and make me wonder how the fuck they recruit for them, because it doesn’t seem like there’s much effort to get a wide breadth of interests and options.

    Aren’t these usually just dependant on who volunteers to come to them? Not surprising that’s it’s a bunch of bullshit jobs and executives showing up because the people with real careers are too busy with actual work and aren’t given the time to come talk to kids about their industry.

        I’m thinking more like people who constantly come in and say they want to do this. Like parents who are so annoying that they are given this role to shut them up. Them and parents who are in industries big enough to have a plan to recruit from primary school

          from what I understand, this

          parents who are so annoying that they are given this role to shut them up

          is not a thing here, which might be because we’re in a pretty rural, pretty poor area, and there aren’t enough bored parents with enough disposable income

          parents who are in industries big enough to have a plan to recruit from primary school

          there are no big industries here anymore.

          from primary school

          this is actually secondary school – my son will graduate high school next spring
