Stop drinking. Travel more. Meet new friends. |
Isn't the NMSF cut off higher in MD than FL by several points.. cough cough. https://www.compassprep.com/national-merit-semifinalist-cutoffs/ |
Nope. Sounds like Florida isn’t for you and that’s ok. |
Fake news. There are books being reviewed. |

NP. Should we allow honor killings in the name of accepting veery’s beliefs. |
WTF. You just called that poster a liar for telling you a real life encounter from inside information. Do you work in the Florida schools with inside knowledge or are you just a denier at all costs? |
Stop with the fake news BS. That Schlick is old. The Miami Herald reported that over 1400 books banned in Florida. https://amp.miamiherald.com/news/local/education/article279568719.html |
Can’t you read your own links? They define as ban as “any action taken against a book” which is pure nonsense. Teachers and librarians review and update materials all the time. “Most book bans recorded this past year are currently classified as “banned pending investigation,” meaning the book has been removed during review.“ All books are accessible for purchase by parents who want their kids to access the material during the review process. |
This is still ridiculous and terrible and you are a fool if you don't realize it. Classics like Shakespeare have been pulled from the shelves. Because one person complained. It is anti-American. |
Several PPs can't even read yet they are deeeeeeply concerned about "banned" books. It's frankly comical yet sad what a poot education they got and yet they are concerned about another state. |
My sister taught in the Hillsborough County school system for many many years. She got her degree in the university of Southern Florida in Tampa. She has since left the state and is teaching in a different state right now. And her teacher friends are one by one doing the same. it has become very difficult and disheartening to teach in Florida |

The fact is that new laws, backed by extremist rhetoric from a governor and legislature with a track record for using the office to pursue personal vendettas (Disney retaliation), provide for potential felony charges, and there isn't enough enforcement history to know what's allowed. It's a "chilling effect". |
So many people are moving down to Florida that prices are going up and some people can't keep up. Unfortunate. I can't tell you how many NY families have relocated since Covid, often blaming their poor schools back home. It's over a million people in just three years, Florida must be doing something right, best to your sister in her new state. |
Florida is not doing anything right with the schools. People have always moved to Florida for the weather. Then they move away again when hurricanes come. It will take a few years for the rot to show in the Florida schools. No Shakespeare or other classics will slash Florida education scores, as well as no sex education to speak of. It is a mess, and you must not have actual school age kids if you don't realize this. -- Floridian since 1969 |
