The future of public schools

Looking in my rearview mirror…I’m glad Biden won. That gave Trump 4 more years to be educated about the DC establishment swamp. He’s much sharper about it today, than he was in 2020.

That said @biggestal99 …you couldn’t even discern Biden’s declining mental state which simply supports again why, Brandonites’ opinions have little to no credibility.

The majority of funding for schools is by the states. Feds help support special needs programs and rural areas that do not have the tax revenue to help sustain schools.

They do get involved in some curriculum, which may not apply to all states.

I knooooooow…rite. Let’s take FEMA for example. They abandoned the mountains of NC all while telling their staff to avoid the homes of Trump supporters. Once again…you’re wrong.

“they” did…or was it one individual, who was disciplined for being an ass?

Be honest…was that a FEMA policy, or one rogue jerk?

TDS is rampant.

Seriously, you cannot answer that question?

You made a statement, I asked for simple clarification. Was that too difficult?

Uh, huh…answer Smyrna…how deep is the corruption in our government agencies? Keep your eyes open because DOGE is helping answer that question.

Have they posted any actual evidence of fraud and abuse?

Not that you’d agree with because that’s your mindset. It’s closed. Here…let me prove it.

Do you believe our government should have spent tax payer money promoting Sesame Street in Iraq? Is this “abuse” or “evidence of fraud” in your world?

Anyone who spent 2023 and 2024 proclaiming the superb mental and physical condition of Biden has no credibility left. The day before the debate that showed the emperor had no clothes, they were nodding yes to the “deep fake” pretense.

Well, that is a judgement call…if it is for entertainment, and teaches basic life skills and helps kids effected in areas with a lot of conflict. I do not see the harm. Is it a wise way to spend the money? That is subjective. It does fall under the “Soft power” category.

What would you call it?

Observing my local middle schools:

They have students who range from the children of professionals (engineers, doctors etc.) to the children of illegals. Although not bound by their background or dna, there is a comparable variation in learning capacity. It would be impossible to teach all of these in one classroom. You would be over the heads of some and bore others. So they are divided into standard, advanced and gifted tiers based on choice and demonstrated ability.
You can take courses that (sometimes unsuccessfully) try to get the basics across to those who could care less to college level courses.
I have not run across any teachers pushing their particular social or political ideologies, and are generally of a good quality.
So basically, there is a good education to those with the ability and will to get it, but you can also just bide your legally required time.

We’re 36 trillion in debt, do not have the money and you label this “subjective”. I rest my case.

Amazingly stupid post.

I have no problem cutting Sesame Street for Iraq, but it will do virtually nothing to tackle the debt, even when added to all the other little cuts. Everything we’ve seen so far is performative. The debt won’t improve until we make drastic cuts to social security, the military, and Medicare/Medicaid.

lol. you certainly were not saying that when it happen.

…and doing the same thing expecting different results is the perfect description of your mindset.

Really dumb response to my post. I’m suggesting actually addressing the problem, you’re supporting more of the same.
