[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet we still have the reality that teachers and other school staff are leaving in droves.  This means students who are still in public schools, whether their parents want them there or not, whether their parents wish vouchers were going to happen or not, will keep losing out.  Just like patients in hospitals are losing out due to a severe nursing shortage, which is becoming worse, because dumb ass people won't get vaccinated, won't vaccinate their children, refuse to wear masks and generally let their own stupidity wreak havoc on other people like they don't have a care in the world.

I know that most people feel like the needs of their own children come before our collective responsibility to the greater social good.  I personally don't hold that worldview.  But you do you.  I guess as long as your family gets what it believes it is entitled to, that's all that matters.  [/quote]

How exactly have you personally put the greater social good above the needs of your own children? This is empty virtue signaling at the highest degree. Of course talk is cheap in reality you’ve done absolutely nothing, but feel entitled to shame other parents. As if you should just send your kid to a school where 20% of kids achieve grade level proficiency, otherwise you’re selfish.

Oh, the greater social good, it’s funny how it lines up with the political agenda and talking points of the party you sympathize with! Nobody is checking if the greater social good is actually greater bs, we just have to take your word for it. How about the greater social good is the sum of goods of all individuals and we let them decide on their own what that is.[/quote]

Yes, I sent my own children to a low income, low performing K-8 and high school.  They both are in college on full ride scholarships.  One had an SAT of 1550 and the other 1580.  Low performing schools do not harm smart, hard working students.  I also put the greater social good above my own needs.  I teach in one of those schools instead of all the other offers I had in public schools in wealthy areas.  I also spend a few thousand dollars out of my own pocket to ensure other people's children get what they need in my classroom, including tutoring any student of mine who wants it over the summer for free.  What are you doing to ensure our society succeeds?[/quote]

Mic drop.

I really feel you on this, PP.[/quote]

It’s so lame when people sock puppet post to congratulate their own posts.

Also cringey, embarrassing and awkward.[/quote]
