Republicans are ruining American education

Yeah lol. Oh I knew I was right, and I knew he couldn't tell me I was wrong either. I'm pretty clued on when it comes to they grey areas.

 

Pretty sure thats more than the starting salary for a LEO, on one hand you can say they are protecting the MOST valuable resource on the other hand one could ask if they are paid that much why not the teachers?

 

Assuming a 40 hour workweek $43.00/hr is $1,720/week. $1,720.oo/wk x 52 (# of weeks in the year (not sure if the guard will work or be paid for school breaks (summer, Christmas, etc) comes to $89,440.00. That is a far cry from $130k.

 

LEO= Law Enforcement Officer ie cop

 

From my experience The school system pay scale runs from Sept to early June in most cases. During the summer months that you are not working some school systems ( not including teachers ) your pay stops it is your responsibility to budget your funds to last those 2 1/2 months. Of course the local school unions have a good amount of say on how the pay scale is handled. for the different classifications of school employees. A lot of school systems will base your weekly pay on a 12 month schedule others do not. . The Armed guards are kind of a gray area as far as school unions go.

 

Or are the security guards paid fairly BUT obviously teachers are NOT

 

Over half of Americans insist the government and corporations they call evil lie to them for their own protection, and are usually much too liberal about these things. You can't fix stupid, but nobody ever lost money trying, which is why we have the democratic party.

 

New education will have mandatory education until 5th grade, everything else will be optional.

Most of american education is of useless info of no practical use. In the New Education system, chemists will be taught chemistry. Randoms who don't wish to pursue a career of chemistry will not be taught chemistry. Why is that so hard for society to get?
If someone wants to learn chemistry they can go and research about it online. You can learn more in one month of online education than years of high school and middle school.

Not sure why people want to defend the useless rubbish education system. Science shows exercise and hands on learning is much more conducive to education. Yet recess is either non existent or only a short time of day. And they sit students in spinally non-ergonomic uncomfortable chairs all day, no regard to its effect on circulation or the nervous system. Drab scenery and toxic school environment and people wonder why the students are underperforming. What a farce.

 

This thread opens up talking about schooling in Oklahoma.
Around New York & New Jersey boatloads of money are thrown at our schools yielding small improvements.
Our Teachers pensions are underfunded.

Each of the 50 States controls its own school system.

 

Oregon governor signs bill ending reading and math proficiency requirements for graduation


Oregon Gov. Kate Brown privately signed a bill last month ending the requirement for high school students to prove proficiency in reading, writing, and arithmetic before graduation.

 

Republicans are ruining america,

 

That's their job!

 

Republicans are killing themselves faster, as if George Orwell were broadcasting "War of the Worlds" for the first time. You can't fix stupid, no matter how much money you have, but its quite possible to encourage the idiots to kill themselves faster. They have the highest divorce rates, which are always around money, and the highest suicide rates after a divorce, using handguns, while just watching Fox News shortens their lifespans. The democratic party strategy, should be how to encourage them to kill themselves faster.

 

It's awful. We had a 10th grade exchange student from Switzerland and our high school had nothing to offer him. We thought, well why don't you take the 12th grade classes then? He already had! The highest mathematics we had, for college prep only, was Calculus and he had already completed that. He wanted to know, if we stopped at Calculus, when did we learn higher math? We had no clue what he was talking about. We only had French as a foreign language and that was already one of the six modern languages in which he was fluent. Surely, we thought, American education would have improved since then, but no, it's much much worse. Frank Zappa said to drop out and forget the pep rallies and go to the public library if you really wanted to learn something. Now education is free for everyone on the internet, but all schools want to do is stick a cop in your face, run you through metal detectors and make you request permission to pee. Then they muddle up your brain so we have the first generation of Americans who are confused about how they should even go about that simple business. We've come a long way from our Founders who read Greek and Latin classics in the original, to their descendants who walked on the Moon, to a bunch of morons who can't figure out where to go when they have use the loo. Drop out, drop out, drop out, free your mind and be happy.
