Hear ye, hear ye, students of ICSD! Have you been searching for a simple way to enter the workforce? Look no further than the many occupations within our district. To fill an increasing number of open positions, the ICSD Board of Education (BoE) voted 8-0 in favor of forcing allowing students to serve as teachers, substitutes, and in a variety of other positions. According to Superintendent Luvelle Brown, “Students are the best at communicating what they are learning about because they have just learned it! So students will actually learn more from their peers than from the adults who have been doing this for most of their lives.” Dr. Brown noted that ICSD’s “Culture of Luve” will be manifested deeply when students feel connected to those teaching them. The BoE claims this new plan is “most definitely not because of a hypothetical staffing shortage. We have a few newly-available positions, and instead of hiring outsiders, we’d like to hire those already familiar with our Culture.”
While most of these open positions will be filled by IHS students, the occasional eighth-grade genius will be asked to assist in lessons, as well, so don’t be surprised when a middle schooler walks into the classroom to teach you calculus. As for school bus driver shortages, IHS Driver’s Education students will be given the responsibility of driving those long cars and will have the right to DJ however they’d like. Instead of struggling to find maintenance workers for the district, IHS’ very own Code Red Robotics students will be put in charge of fixing doors, expediting the bathroom construction process, and taking care of falling ceiling tiles.
Virtually every single student is ‘absolutely elated’ to begin their work, as found by a Google Form asking students to pick between the choices of ‘absolutely elated,’ ‘completely overjoyed,’ ‘beyond ecstatic,’ and ‘incredibly excited.’
There are three forms of compensation that the district will be offering for students’ work. Students may either receive an extra point on their marking period grade every ten weeks, a personal rainbow hall pass that allows them to walk in any hallway without repercussions (including K-Building during Intergalactic Lunch), or monthly ICSD swag bags containing anything ICSD-themed you can think of.
