It's a trifecta with the long pole in the long pole in the tent being awful teachers.HI54UNI wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 7:10 amWhile both are problems there are several studies showing that both of your items can be overcome by good teachers and good schools.

You take unions out of the equation and you have to deal with the loud parents who demand a teacher be fired because little Johnny didn't enjoy his time in that teacher's classroom. Teacher unions still serve a purpose (unlike most other unions elsewhere) - they give us a buffer between the noisy whackos in the community and the everyday operation of the school itself. You think we have a dearth of good teachers now - see who wants to stay in that job knowing that getting assigned that kid from the crazy parents means tiptoeing all year just to keep your job. That's not a recipe for attracting good teachers.kalm wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:26 amEliminating unions won’t remove shitty teachers completelyHI54UNI wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 8:50 am

And your kids have good parents which can help them overcome the shitty teacher/education. Now imagine a kid with shitty parents and a shitty teacher. That kid is screwed.

Teachers unions are like police unions. They protect bad teachers and cops, and they bargain with elected officials who have no incentives to be good stewards of public monies.GannonFan wrote:You take unions out of the equation and you have to deal with the loud parents who demand a teacher be fired because little Johnny didn't enjoy his time in that teacher's classroom.

Civil service protections provide all the protections of unions for frivolous personnel actions without the problems associated with public service unions and their ridiculous contracts.
But those unions are only as powerful as the state and local governments that enable them. And the lions share of union dues go to putting and keeping union friendly legislators and governors in office. So public sector unions in non-right to work states are here to stay. The only way you kill political/government systems is to starve them, and interstate migration is how that happens.

Re: The Official "Making America Woke Again" Thread
So we’be had multiple press conferences in the last few days where Biden has let slip ‘I’ve been instructed to’ or ‘I’ve been told to’ which clearly indicates Biden isn’t making the decisions/calling the shots. So if Biden didn’t make the decison to pull out of Afghanistan the way we did, who was it that did? Who is the one behind the curtain who made the decision? Who is the real POTUS here? Or is it a POTUS by committee calling the shots?

I would guess that plenty of Presidents have been given instructions/suggestions on whose questions they should answer. Biden's problem isn't that he was given instructions, it's that he doesn't have the cognitive sense not to admit it to the press.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 2:31 pmSo we’be had multiple press conferences in the last few days where Biden has let slip ‘I’ve been instructed to’ or ‘I’ve been told to’ which clearly indicates Biden isn’t making the decisions/calling the shots.

I'm shocked! The guy who exposed himself to women and children at the Wi Spa women's locker room is a registered sex offender. It NEVER occurred to me someone would lie about orientation.
https://nypost.com/2021/09/02/charges-f ... -incident/
https://nypost.com/2021/09/02/charges-f ... -incident/
Law-enforcement sources revealed that Merager is a tier-one registered sex offender with two prior convictions of indecent exposure stemming from incidents in 2002 and 2003 in California. She declined to comment on the convictions. In 2008, she was convicted for failing to register as a sex offender.

I think you're exaggerating that. Conversely, were they protesting the right for a woman to enter a mans locker room and flash her tits...or just use the locker room? I don't think their intent was for me to go in there and wag my penis in women's faces. Nobody was protesting for the right for sexual offenders to offend.
