Do you think the "free gaming console" crowd is going to be a bunch of mature adults behaving rationally? Clearly, we see that this is NOT the case. ?????
Huh? What does FDR have to do with what I said? Do you think some of the stuff being shown to very young children is appropriate? Do you think parents should NOT know about this stuff? Do you have kids?
Real deal? Have you heard what comes out of her trap? We are down to I think 10 years until we’re all dead due to climate "issues". Unemployment was down a few years ago due to people having two jobs. I could go on and on. But, Okee dokee.
Didn’t the unions already cause massive problems for the automakers once? Yeah, I think so. Needs to be a balance here so the auto companies can have some healthy profits and workers can get fairly compensated. Last time, auto workers had it a little too easy, hence the bankruptcies and bailouts.
If our Govt. Would just stop spending and wasting money on nonsense then we wouldn’t have this problem. Good luck getting any politician to "live within their means" as we are asked to do.
Youre the one mis-using your left wing buzz word all wrong. Keep at it though, this is funny stuff. :). Im a happy capitalist. Must drive you lazy communists crazy.
Are you OK? Whats wrong? You need to get some help for yourself. Things are clearly not going right for you. Please Google what fascist means and stop using it incorrectly. Bounce back when you get your life sorted out. Delusional? Yeah - Get educated or learn a valuable skill + get decent paying job and live well = be happy. You got a better idea?
Every great nation has blood on its hands. The Japanese aren’t exactly Mother Theresa’s themselves. Oh and they shouldn’t have attacked us if they didn’t want to deal with the consequences. They had no problem killing or injuring thousands of our service men and women. Oh…..THAT. Give it a rest.
Jesus is already banned in public schools, LOL. Can’t do Christmas anymore. Honestly, ALL religion should be kept out of public schools so I guess I agree with you here. Socrates? Not sure how to respond to that. FDR would be part of a standard US history curriculum I’d think.
Not sure about that. Our country doesn’t do communism, thank goodness, so there is little relevancy in spending time on teaching it. Wouldn’t the students be better served to learn about how our economic system works so they can take advantage of its positives and better manage the negatives? Either way, there is no need to for a deep dive into economic systems. That’s for further study or post K-12 learning. Kids should be taught how to manage money, balance a checkbook, use credit wisely and things that will actually help them in Their day to day lives.
Sure, all economic systems can be touched on in like a social studies class or something like that. But ultimately, there is no benefit to going overboard on such a topic, IMO. Most of the class time should be spent on the system we use. Sort of like we teach English first and foremost because that’s what we speak here. If one wishes to pursue other languages or enter a career in translating then by all means, do what ya gotta do but that’s outside the scope of basic K-12 learning.
They have zero place in any public school whatsoever under any circumstances. Whats next? Foot fetish day in 2nd grade? The point is that trying to shove this useless crap into schools at all is just a horrible idea. Try again.
I dont disagree with you here, at least not with most of it. And thanks for being polite unlike some replies that are clearly coming from people with severe "issues".
No, I dont like the idea of fully private schools getting public money either. However, the current system of ALL money being diverted into the public school pot isnt working either. I like the idea of some choice and competition. It facilitates quality improvements, no question. Its not a money problem, it seems to be more of a "how the money is being used" problem. As for having the money for private schools and sending kids there - doesnt that butt heads with more education equality though? The rich kids go to nice schools and the poorer ones dont. No choice, no options. Charter schools were supposed to try and help with that, I thought. I still think there is a way to do this where standards and outcomes go up for ALL students.
Teachers are pretty well compensated overall as they should be. But, the post retirement benefits are a tad too good and very expensive for the state. Public pensions are a huge cost drain as most people will suck a ton of money out of the system that they didnt put in. Id rather they all get 401Ks and some % match like most people do now. Handle your own retirement like the rest of us have to. I also hate the tenure system and various things but you seem to somewhat agree on the union problems.
Fascist because I want schools to be politically neutral and cut the crap? I found people who dont know what the word fascist means but they read it on some left wing blog and now attach that word to everything they disagree with. LOL. Well played.
A wealth limit would be nice but hard to get through. What has to happen is term limits. Period. Two terms and you’re done. That’s it. I believe that right there will help quite a bit. Maybe not though, then The next rich guy or gal just gets elected, right? :(
