What brains? :heh:

MS/AL might as well be third world mini countries with how badly run they are and how dumb their people are there. Zero value on education, just a really good college football program :pachaha:
They do love their SEC down there. It's third only to Jesus and Daddy Trump lol

You aren’t thinking out loud. This is the exact move. Cutting access to higher education to give “value” back to bachelors degree as a paper class barrier to the middle class.
Less students, less educated “liberals” coming out of college now stuck with no prospects of moving up and out the hood.

Moving "out the hood" should not not the goal.
This is why our people agreed to horrible school busing policies to send our children to Yt areas.
We want to improve our own schools and communities.

Idk if it’s been asked already. But how will states get funding for education? Will it be population based? More kids in the state = more money for education? Who is going to reign in these racist states?

My kid is going to be starting kindergarten when trumps term ends and, if these education changes actually happen, we are going to have to put him in private school.
Read an article yesterday on CNN of all places. Most states get about 10% of their funding from the federal government. Everything else is paid by state and local taxes. Population dense areas will be fine, and actually might “benefit” from school choice since you are locked into school zones wherever you live.

Rural areas that only have 1 school though? :pachaha:

Our eldest started K this year and our youngest starts in 9 months, I now regret not having them earlier like a couple friends did because both of there’s only have about 3 or 4 years left. :francis:

Bu bu bu but the trannys though

That’s all I’m saying to trump supporters and both siders while this country falls apart

They don't care. They think little Timmy in the 4th grade is saying "I'm a girl!" on a Friday and getting his dikk chopped off Monday


The troglodyte and his subtle stanning for tRump :mjlol: The fact that y’all let this inbred run rampant without consequences for over a decade kills me. Dude should have been banned since his whataboutism rhetoric for Trayvon Martin and disgusting comments about dark skin Indians.

White snake gonna white snake


See how this works? The right sabotages something for years leading to it not being as effective as it should be, which makes it easier to get right of. And people march right along with it. I hate how this country is full of people like you.

Exactly. They impede, sabotage, damage... and then complain and say "see, this shyt doesn't work!"

If you like documentaries, check out "Waiting for Superman" if you haven't seen it already.
Charter schools like KIPP in this documentary are Republican-backed.
The idea they push is "public school run privately."
Charters attract children from involved parents who care the most.
Then who's left in public school? What motivation is there to fund public schools?

Eventually GOP will have enough support to get rid of public schools altogether.
Charter school is a trojan horse to do just that.
One benefit of axing public schools is killing the teachers union as a voting bloc, which votes Democrat.
There's no push to kill off Police unions bc we know which way they vote.

That might be the move, maybe. Unions still work for private companies too (see Starbucks and Amazon). We chose a charter school because we live in a primarily white neighborhood and the public school was by and large run all by white women where the charter we chose actually has two brehs I marched in band with in college much less a more diverse teaching body.
Privatization of education is def where we are headed, so exactly what they did with prisons.

They mostly do. Problem was the DoE became useless because they were always at odds with State admins. DoE withholds funding if you don't comply with their demands. That's not usually a bad thing, but when test scores aren't improving you have to wonder why the DoE budget is so large and who is getting the money.

I don't think the DoE necessarily has to be closed, but a revamp is needed if we're going to have one. As of now, the Department of Education isn't helping to educate anyone and is just a piggybank for grifters.

Good post explaining things instead of 1 sentence doom and gloom

Yeah it is like no child left behind. The bad schools are left to rot and you have good kids who get stuck because they don't have the resources to get to the better schools
