Yes, exactly. Talk of the town.
Of course I can. So can you.
That we do agree on, but I say most are definitely not.
You made the claim.
In Chicagoā¦that liberal strongholdā¦the school board just voted to keep Chicago cops in Chicago Public Schoolsā¦So thereās that. Not so much defunding going on there huh?
Youāre probably right. Many probably canāt, products of the self-licking ice cream cone.
I donāt have to cast blame in order to acknowledge a failure. Itāll be alright though, there are still parents out there stepping in to mitigate those failures. New ways of private education will pop up as a result, similar to how house calls for hair stylists is becoming so popular.
This will give the more dedicated parents afforable opportunities to get their kids a better edge in life.

Well, whatever this is all about, it doesnāt apply to us. So, whatever.
Of course they did. They mean in the streets, not their police. Why would anybody vote to give up their own free bodyguards?

The talk of this one townā¦L.A. doesnāt speak for all of us do they?
Nice Try thoughā¦
Many are working full-time during the hours in which school occurs. Conflict of schedules. They depend on these schools and pay taxes accorindgly. Hopefully they work enough to be able to afford private options.
Iām excited to see this new normal.

Donāt they?
It was all the rage a few weeks agoā¦Chicago was going to defund police in Public school buildings. When it came down to it. These schools are safer with cops in them than without.
Noā¦Are they speaking for your schools in Texas? They are not speaking for mine in Indianaā¦thatās for sure.
Itās not teachersā faults many kids donāt have access to internet/tech to get them connected for e-learning.
Itās not teachersā faults schools were shut down.
Itās not teachersā faults when they arenāt provided the tools or training by their districts BEFORE a pandemic hits to be able to teach electronically.
But teachers are expected to work around all of this anyway, for the same pay, and are blamed when things donāt go perfectly. This isnāt a new thing. Thereās always been a target on the backs of those who work in education. It escalated during the Tea Party years, during the big push for charter schools and the documentary Waiting for Superman.

Subjective. Social workers would be better.
Things were going peaches before the epidemic.

Tutoring has always been profitable around the university. It could be just as, if not more so in the form of house calls for parents wanting to home school after work. There could even be group tutoring sessions.
There are many, more efficient, less socially traumatizing ways for kids to get a decent education while also getting social interaction.
Let the dinosaur institutions and their tenured corral workers go the way that dinosaurs should.
