[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll believe it when my kid is actually in school. So mad. I want vouchers!![/quote] You and Betsy DeVos both want vouchers! It’s clear whose side you’re on— the side of the oligarchs who want to destroy public education. Meanwhile I’m on the side of the teachers— of the union. Which came to an agreement today as was clear they would.[/quote] DP. It's US teachers who have been doing the biggest damage to public education we have ever seen with their refusal to go back into the classroom. Playing right into the hands of the De Vos types of the world. The effect is going to be felt far into the future.[/quote] So you’re doubling down on being for the same things that Betsy DeVos is for? Cool. I’m for teachers, for unions, and for parents and kids. I’m anti-DeVos You’re pro-voucher, pro-privatization, pro-salary cuts, and pro-DeVos.[/quote] Huh? I'm not doubling down on anything. I'm not the poster you responded to (that's what DP means). And since you don't know me, you have absolutely no basis to assume that I'm "pro-voucher, pro-privatization, pro-salary cuts, and pro-DeVos". In fact, I think all of those things are terrible. I have always believed teachers are underpaid in most states, although I also believe they are sometimes under-educated. I'm firmly in favor of public schools (I'm from a country where they are much stronger than in the US), and so I am very concerned about their future in America after what happened here during the pandemic due to the way public trust has been broken and kids have been let down. I fear that many people who can afford to do so will opt out, because they don't want to be in this situation again, and because the quality of the schools may go down as a result of the deficits created by DL.[/quote]
