Why do you think this a more “real world” example? This is messaging coming from a teacher organization? Which one? Have you heard this in the real world personally? Or can you point us to where this conversation actually occurred, if it’s a real world example? Or is this something that just happens on Twitter?

What makes this conversation more real than the other one, which you claimed happens often. Does that one not happen often after all?

I’m just looking for the real world basis of this model conversation you have written for us here. What has given you this perception? Facebook? Twitter? Your personal experience with teachers associations (which ones)? Your friends and family?

It is "more real world", not "real world". The example is exaggerated to make a point.

But your point is that this exaggerated thing is happening. We all understand the caricature you're trying to paint. I'm trying to get at the real world thing underneath of that. Get rid of the exaggeration. What's really happening?
