Per-student corruption for elementary and secondary education in New York is 91 percent above the national average and between 9 percent and 170 percent higher than neighboring and competitor states

FTFY. Because New York City insisted I do.

It was the kinda offer you don’t refuse. Right from the NYC historian.

Funny how not other republican president wanted to do that, just the one that very nearly did not get a college degree because he was (and still is) too dumb for that.

Todays definition of too dumb, is turning away even a single college applicant.

Those aren’t students. They’re gullible high-valued customers still falling for it. Damn right they’ll take their money. All of it.

Conservatives believing in morals and ethics, I needed a good laugh this morning. Go back to defending the pedophile you worship.

The very definition of conservative implies you won’t find a plethora of what you’re so desperate to find in order to dismiss obvious hypocrisy. Feel free to prove me wrong on the liberal side rife with teenage OnlyFans and Diddy after-after parties. Feminists finding themselves mostly single and alone by 2030, isn’t a statistic easily dismissed with childish SIGN language. Neither is the massive decline in replenishing that ideology by abusing abortion as contraception.

Go figure the liberal Me-Me-Me ideology won’t even be alive in 100 years to debate how dead-end wrong that selfish shit was.

At this point I’d love to have a Harvard educated Civics professor explain exactly what the US Department of Education actually does. To the US Department of Education.

Gives out money for special ed, sets standards, and makes sure schools aren't discriminating against black kids (you don't think they would actually do that, do you?)

Gives out money for best grades achieved through the wasteful for-profit practice of testing for the same State-funded exam over and over and over again for 80% of the school year because best grades on THAT test are all that matter. Because follow the money.

The racist problem was “solved” when we reduced every classroom down to the lowest common denominator with No Child Left Behind. Now those grown-ass children who birthed the Victim Generation are an employers worst nightmare. Since they “passed” all the same for-profit tests in college too, where we turned an education into a political indoctrination.

Discrimination? Please. We don’t even discriminate against blatant incompetence anymore. That was obvious given what liberals put in the White House for the last four years. Reap what you sow.

Comment Re:Lack of use... (Score 1) 227

Skills atrophy with lack of use. They were taught how to read an analog clock when they were ~7 years old, and then never used the skill again.

What makes you assume they were ever taught the skill? At any age? The statement we often make regarding those who learn how to ride a bicycle tends to apply here, given the simplicity. It’s not like clocks go into hiding at age eight.

It's hard to expect a child to retain skills they haven't used. I learned how to use a sewing machine in Home Economics back in 1994 or so. Damned if I could get one started today.

It would be hard for you to recall all of the steps to set up a sewing machine after years of not laying eyes or hands on one. You forgetting how to thread a single needle is more akin to forgetting how to read a clock face. Which again are used everywhere in life, every day.

Again, I go back to those who learned how to ride a bike and never forgot. Are we going to be able to say that confidently about this generation, or do they not recall anything they’re not addicted to? After all, I’m certain I can get a doctorate-level thesis on how social media works from any 16-year old.

Oh, I do believe AI *will* replace 50% or more of today's jobs. I just don't think it's the end of the world. My point is that previous waves of technology have easily replaced that percentage of jobs, or more, and yet we humans found other things to do.

Convenient how you summed up years of suffering and death after every revolution in history with “found other things to do”. It was a bit more impactful than that dismissive shit. Makes you wonder if people are dismissive enough of a Recession to literally cause a Depression.

Human employment displacement before almost always meant targeting the uneducated and largely resource-starved. That is NOT the case with AI. At all. Therefore you must account for the increased risk of a fully capable response coming from resource-rich humans armed with actual intellect. Greed is barely waiting for Good E. Nuff AI to hit final Production. Then they’ll happily fire millions who are ONLY employed for their now-outdated brains and not think twice about the impact that is always someone else’s problem. Chaos in the streets because of rapid unemployment increase? Sounds like a problem for law enforcement or the Military. Certainly not a problem for Greed N. Corruption, CEO US Capitalism. UBI is still a mumbled afterthought because of Greed.

Current law enforcement cannot handle idiot criminals who have little. What makes you think the violence caused by the AI revolution, will be any easier to manage against a not-so-stupid capable response? Human unemployment rates creeping up to mass chaos and war, won’t be much better or different than human unemployment rates racing up to mass chaos and war.

Yeah that's because millions of liberals aren't stupid people who can only think in terms of black and white. Good and bad. With nothing in between.

Really?

Liberals are the specific group of individuals who refuse to actually have valid discourse. Actually debate and defend their often shortsighted childish stances on damn near everything. Liberals refuse to debate any sane middle ground with abortion. The end result is 40% of abortions come from repeat customers. Liberals refuse to debate any sane middle ground with gender dysmorphia. The end result is now parents fighting against State regulators who wish to destroy the entire concept of parental rights. For every parent.

Liberals, ultimately put a man suffering from dementia and a wholly unqualified minority woman who acted as an Open Border Czar in the White House. The end result, is President Trump. Again.

The department of education might not be great, but scrapping it completely is almost certainly worse. Especially for red states where it'll be all Jesus and creationism. Liberals it seems still persistently don't want red state citizens to get completely fucked over.

Hmm. The Christian conservative who still believes in the value of Father figures, intact families, morals and ethics..versus the unaccountable liberal feminist defending a 304 lifestyle under “modern” feminism abusing abortion as contraception, who will ultimately divorce and victim-blame her way into a perpetually single life numbed by boxed whine and cats.

You tell me which ideology humans will be debating 100 years from now. Because I know which ideology is far too busy eating itself to realize who’s losing. Horrifically.

Then we’ll audit the living shit out of the end result NOT with practice-till-you-can-pass-it-blindfolded State approved exams with grades directly tied to school funding, but instead with actual real-world testing. With math that reality uses. Not girl math. With logic reality uses. Not liberals.

There is a reason the end result of higher education in America has created a serious disconnect with reality. No. I don’t give a shit who’s offended by that. Because educators should be fucking embarrassed, not act “offended” when reality shows otherwise.

But perhaps we should ask the Quality Learing Center how to spell “learning” first.

Not only do many of the students not pass basic math and literacy tests, but they can't even manage basic life skills like reading a clock. The NYC school district is the largest in the country with nearly a million students and a huge budget. This is a national disgrace.

And yet, we have millions of liberals defending the Department of Education. Why? Because Trump is the one who wants to disband it.

We should stop wondering how America will end up funding programs to find a cure for long-TDS. The problem is metastasizing quite organically within the failed institution we call education.

On the other hand with less inequality globally, there'd be less poverty.

As American taxpayers are finding out rather quickly with regards to Somalian “daycare”, there is no shortage of money to correct the problem of poverty. There is a massive fucking problem with what happens to that money.

Fix the problem of anti-corruption enforcement. Make THAT the focus of equality with common laws and proper enforcement, and the problem of poverty evaporates.
