I love your posts breh, but that shh was hot garbage. I didn't feel like picking it apart and going back and forth. I'm digging everyone's political beliefs in here though.

I'm a registered Indy. Voted Bush in 04, sat out in 08. Probably going 3rd party this one.

Breh, I was talking about the term swag. I don't for the life of be get how this guy thought swag = accomplishments and now he's done EXACTLY what I didn't want to happen. He's veered the discussion off.

With all that said, I gave a 30 second post about starting points and success in light of that. Obviously that's not the most nuanced post I've written, I felt that it got the point across. When I write too much, cats won't read it.

It also didn't mean that just because someone was affluent that their accomplishments should be diminished or that they can't be the right person for a job. The point was simple, in light of the circumstances, some people reaching where they are is much more impressive than other people doing it. Kyrie Irving's success is not as impressive as Jalen Rose's for example. Obviously all these guys get watched over and pampered at certain point so it's not a perfect example.

I already explained this. If I'm in a discussion, especially a friendly one, dapping is just a sign of respect that we are talking. I may not agree with your opinion but I respect your right to voice it. At the end of the day it's all love breh.

Getting rid of teacher unions will not drive new college grads towards the inner-cities in fact it will hinder that by weakening one of the only incentives graduates have to go teach in the inner-city which is higher pay.Breaking up teaching unions perpetuates the myth that somehow unions are the reason our country is in fiscal peril.Teachers are an easy target because the majority of people do not respect teaching as a profession or teachers as professionals.People believe teachers are nothing more than glorified baby-sitters who get two months off every summer to kick it in Jamaica.The vast majority of kids who decide to go into teaching do it for real genuine reasons.Most foolishly believe they can change kids lives and other bullshyt,but when they get into the profession and have to deal with the politics and bullshyt that come along with it some do say "fukk it" and leave.People do that in every profession though. People aren't going into teaching to strictly get paid.How many rich teachers do you know?Yes,unions do protect some bad teachers that's just the nature of the beast but getting rid of Unions won't do shyt to improve quality of education overall.

If you want to improve education you have to start by changing the way teachers are being mandated to teach.Get rid of the standardized testing that pushes teachers to teach for memorization rather than true understanding.Get rid of the whole "inch deep,mile wide" curriculum that forces teachers to move on from concepts regardless if his/her students have mastered it.How many times have you been in a classroom and your teacher moved on from a topic even though half of the damn class didn't get it? It's not because she's an evil bytch that doesn't give a fukk,the state mandates that certain things get covered in the classroom regardless of mastery.What good does it do to complete 21 chapters/concepts in Algebra II if only 4 kids truly understand that shyt?

i can agree with most of the bolded. but at the same time it kinda proves my whole point, the fact that unions are more concerned with teachers givin the point rather than actually gettin the point across. and so like i said earlier, bum ass teachers skate by like "hey i did my part " i really don't know how else to say it that havin unions doesn't mean we have the same value in education as these other countries. it just means we have unions. and for right now at least, i think they need to be taken away so we can see who's actually committed to this

Finland banned private schools. Teacher turnover is not a "big problem" despite what Forbes says. Turnover of teachers is not related to the quality of education I'm sorry I do not see the reasoning behind that.

breh you still aint gave me shyt. at least i dropped somethin. nearly 50% of people in the teaching profession leave after 5 years and newcomers outnumber the vets by 2 times in inner city schools... how can you possibly say you don't see the reasoning??? aside from experience (and barely at that) school districts pay these teachers the same across the board. there's no reward in actually making a change where its really needed and all the risk in losin your income when students fall away. real shyt, if you had the option of bustin your ass and possibly facin the choppin block vs half assin it for the exact same amount because you CAN without any of the same risk, what would you choose???

Interesting, I feel much more different about him after reading Decision Points. He's very underrated. Problem is, the responses are coming from avid Michael Moore and Bill Maher fans.

Thats why Obama is going hard at Romney and them n!ggas keep crying about Obama being negative.

They want him to lay low and take the Kerry treatment. Obama is too smart for that

Cant wait for the debates between Biden and Ryan.

People think Biden is a gaff master...which he is.

But he is a phenomenal debater.

He had Sarah Palin for lunch and help win Obama the election in 2008.

He will eat Ryan alive.

Any Republican candidate could have taken down Obama BUT Romney....

Republicans have blown it again.
