Anyone teaching in a big suburban school is not teaching. they're coaching, they're shining up what already exists. Those teaching in Title 1 schools are the real teachers. They have to teach from the ground up, often knowing there is zero support at home, and tomorrow they'll have to do the same thing all over again.
Not all republicans are MAGA, like not all men are rapists. But MAGA are republicans and rapists are men.
I am in no way prepared for the coming shit show. I do not have a generator, let alone a hand held water purifier, any money in savings, jewels stashed in a safe deposit box, munitions stacked in my basement ,years of water standing at attention or a bunker. I don't even have enough DayQuil to make it through to the end of this eternal illness that will not stop because it never got cold enough to snap the germs but climate change is a hoax.
The democrats are no better than the republicans. They are flipping seats but people are still being kidnapped at an alarming rate and my adult children cannot afford the rising costs to continue to live reasonably without assistance from me.
Those who voted for Trump should be forced to wear a scarlet letter identifying themselves. Many took down their flags out of shame. Not fear, because we aren't attacking them or destroying their property. Like Inglorious Basterds they should be marked so we all know. They don't get to hide. Shame. SHAME.
Schools aren't failing, parenting is. You can see it in any school, regardless of the district or name on the building, it just looks different. Charters are now overcrowded just like public schools were, because parents thought it was the school that was failing. But the behaviors are now out of control in charters just like they were in publics. The common denominators are the kids and the parents. Fun fact: it wasn't the school your kid was enrolled in that was the problem, it was you and your kid.
As above, entitled schools have kids and paretns who are expected to score well on tests and go to college, even it it means fudging a grade or using Chat GPT. This is still a behavior, just not one we choose to acknowledge as such. These kids cheat instead of flipping tables. They bully instead of vape in the bathroom. Same root, different behavior.
As above, buidlings no longer have any control because parents didn't instill respect, manners or consequences in their children. So when an educator says "no" and the child acts out, there is no consequence for the child that can stick. They do not care about grades, and they know there is nothing beyond an "F" or an in school suspension that can be inflicted on them. Parents did this to their children, and then pulled their chlidren out of the school because teachers are not equipped for this situation. These are the same parents who refuse to answer the phone when the school calls, and who yell at administrators when they attempt to hold their child accountable.
Human beings are a failed experiment.
Children raised with opportunites and not taught that opportunity is to be respected will grow up to work for whatever the next Trump administration is.
Everybody acting surprised at what is happening right now ignored the central themes in every 80's movie from Karate Kid to Terminator.
Every single member of DOGE and MAGA should be tried and convicted and held to a real consequence. They should be stripped of their wealth and it should be returned to health care organizations. Real health care. Not insurance companies.
Insurance companies need to be shattered and rebuilt by and for the people, not for profit.
Cruelty is where the stupid go to hide. Give me an example of an intellectual bully. You say "Musk!" or "Zukerberg!" and I counter: I said "intellectual", which includes phisophical thought, synthesization of history and compassion. Not just memorizing facts and numbers to appear bright. I cite the brilliant A Fish Called Wanda: "Apes don't read philosophy." "Yes they do, Otto, they just don't understand it."
And now I have to watch that movie again, I'm out.
