Yes! I have a garden. Bootstraps!

While we're on this topic, since so many Americans have guns, why not get rid of the DoD as well? It accounts for a big chunk of our budget and is staffed by lots of MAGA.

I can't even type that with a serious face.

Many of the good teachers have already quit or retired because of burnout due to chaos and enforcing woke policies. Many of the newer ones can't even write competently so they have no business grading essays. Arguing for blanket pay raises makes no sense. If you say that only good teachers should get paid more because this will incentivize more competent people to also become teachers, most people will be on board.

No, they retired because the pay is sh.t and because when they tried to tell parents their brats are not behaving, the parents berated the teachers. Talk about education at home. I can tell you in public without failure who is a MAGA voter by the way they act-whiny and entitled. And they pass it onto their kids.

Your results up until now SUCK, and you're telling us to embrace more suckage? Got any other ideas.

No, according to democrats, we just have to keep going down the path of failure.

Look, I’m all for a rational proposal to turn functions back to the states and how that would work financially, consolidate agencies for cost savings or economies of scale, reducing waste etc - as in like actually make good faith proposals to save money and improve education.

But that isn’t what’s happening here. This is slash and burn, give money to our cronies, destroy public education, etc.

Where is the funding going to come from? How are the states going to be afford school? They can barely keep college affordable since they lost federal funding.

Some localities will do restaurant taxes or other sales taxes. Others will just cut teachers and have large class sizes, or cut services. Think things like Universal free lunch, cutting back bus services (schools are not required to transport your kids unless they have a qualifying disability).

It's quite possible at lot of this slash-and-burn noise about doing away with entire departments is just for show. In practice, these efforts will be opposed via lawsuits brought by states and other entities. MAGA doesn't control every single judge in the country--yet.

The top 10 best educated states are all blue states. It won’t change them. The poor states like Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, etc will be negatively affected.

Lot of it is because parents there heavily supplement

The schools in red states can’t be any worse than urban public schools.

I'm in Texas and it was ok (depending on school) before covid but now it's a lot of laptop as teacher

I guess if it means that my kids don’t have to learn what the Texas board of Ed says they should learn, then it’s a win.

T"rump's Agenda47 also anticipates an end to teacher tenure laws. These laws are described by the United Federation of Teachers as state laws that prevent a school district from dismissing a tenured teacher without due process. Most states have tenure laws in place; however, at least 10 states have zero or limited tenure laws, according to the National Education Association."

Though he'll have merit pay. Love to see that amount and what it entails with these goons.
