No Soccer - Bad / No School - Catastrophic!

1. They’re mostly non-union, so much easier to get rid of them and save legal fees making it happen. Plus, charter school teachers tend to be paid less and you get what you pay for.

2. Charter schools need to go for lots of reasons. When the racists here go ballistic about this post, well, that’s reason #1.
What is the correlation between Charter Schools and Racism?

What is your definition of “racist”?

Can you provide an itemized list of the lots of reasons Charter Schools need to go?

All the more reason to get rid of public school teachers in unions. There is a benefit to keep charter school teachers who we can fire easily for poor performance.

Charter schools need to stay. If a family is stuck in a failing school district, they need a better option to go to. Parents wouldnt go through the trouble of leaving a school in their zone if a charter school was worse than the school they are zoned in.

the fact that historically racist democrats want to keep poor underprivileged mostly people of color in failing schools when education is the best way out of poverty is a clear example of systemic racism if it even exists. Just like brown vs the board of education, republicans have always been about school choice. Racists like Joe Biden are the ones on record for saying he didnt want his white kids growing up in a racial jungle when referring busing in kids to rich white schools.

 
Hey @met61 serious question. Do you think it’s healthy that kids nowadays are essentially raised by schools and don’t spend much time with their nuclear families? With my daughters cohort, I have observed several kids get dropped off to school early and picked up late. Oftentimes it seems that the only quality time families have with their kids is transporting them to and from school.

Do you think this forced closure of schools could be beneficial in enhancing the family bond in the nuclear family and mitigating some of the psychological damage that will inevitably result from being raised by an education factory?
You mean our liberal socialist indoctrination program is too much for you?
 
I don’t have a problem with distance/online learning in general. I have no problem taking a role in my kids education/development, etc. My issue is that the way many schools implemented online/distance learning left a lot to be desired. Much of the feedback was that some of the educators had real challenges with the technology, some mailed it in, and some were just not geared for it, classes were shorter...Just like some people can’t work from home. It’s not for everyone. The teaching profession is like any other, many great, good, and ok, some not so good or bad. I’m not banging on teachers, I believe as a group they are tremendously underpaid and under appreciated. From our experience and feedback from our kids the teaching experience was 50/50...half good, half bad. Some really struggled, and it’s not like people had much time to get comfortable, learn, and get up to speed. The biggest issue I see is that the model in these large districts is not built for online learning. Plus many rely on this system for meals and yes, care/oversight of their kids so that the parents can work.

Our kids school is private and they are doing both on-site and remote classes...full-time, option for each, and the flexibility to toggle between in person and remote...They spent the time from the original lock down to now figuring out their model, technology, and delivery. I was actually pleased with what they came up with and presented. It looks to be a better product. We shall see. TBH, if they had not we would have pulled the kids, not worth the money for a redo of March/April/May.

Check it out everyone! This person makes sense. Doesn’t blame BLM and “libs” for preventing his kid from going to school. Doesn’t demand that teachers risk their lives because he’s too lazy to take responsibility for his kid’s education. Doesn’t whine about positive airflow at public schools needing to be reversed. Doesn’t accuse some of the most underpaid professionals in the country of
being selfish money hungry bastards because they aren’t willing to literally die for his kid. Doesn’t claim that black people get what they deserve because they murder too many of their unborn children. Doesn’t go full Chuck Woolery and claim there’s a nationwide conspiracy of libs, the CDC and doctors all lying to us so he can disregard what virtually every single competent health care professional is saying.

In short, I agree with you.
 
I fully agree with this and everyone should do what they feel best for their family. And nobody should project onto others, judge, or dictate what they should do.
I unfortunately have to be more careful because my son and husband have asthma (though the research on this is unclear in re to Covid). I choose to be cautious until I know more. But I would never have that expectation of anyone else.
Agree, My MIL who is a 92yo proud immigrant w/cancer lives with us. We're fortunate to have a separate suite to isolate her. My wife, who is a teacher, and I take all precautions when entering and being around her. She hasn't hugged our kids since early March and they can only talk to her from the door at a distance w/mask. We don't take her out anymore. Protecting her is our responsibility and should never involve other kids not going to school, playing sports or just being kids. We've begun to limit her watching News because recently she gets spun up and yells at the TV about how weak and cowardly Americans have become since her family immigrated and went through the depression and everything since. I can't really argue or disagree with her.

She is a tiny tough old women - yet, she speaks frequently of loneliness, isolation is takes a toll in many ways.
 
I am pretty new here and figured out soccer is not the purpose of this blog. I am just curios where EOTL is coming from? EOTL makes some bold statements and it would be interesting to see where he/she is coming from.
Welcome aboard, I was just poking fun at EOTL at your expense. Do you like fiction?

All kidding aside we used to talk about soccer when it existed, but many of us have fallen down the Covid rabbit hole and I'm one of the worst offenders.
 
Wow, could they be anymore tone deaf? Any bets on when we see, "Defund the Teachers"?
I told my wife what we all really want is to get rid of all the bad cops, bad teachers, bad attorneys, bad coaches, bad Docs, bad clubs, bad bosses, bad ac tech guy, cheaters in sports and those who pay to play and take spots from others who earned it. Let's just ask all the bad people to stop being bad and change and do good. No more bad apples!!!!
 
Sorry to hear about your brother's experience. My son's asthma is not allergy or excercise induced. Only viruses/respiratory illnesses. He's also 14, so I'm still undecided if I feel comfortable that he's protected from this virus because he's a "kid".
But, there is not much information on covid and asthma,especially in younger people. COPD is one of the top three risk factors. I'm hoping there will be more concrete information soon.
I have friend whose dd just quit soccer all together until more info come out. She has asthma too. She's super smart and will be a very good doctor.

Challenge accepted.
 
Umm, # of positive people are only people that were tested for COVID. thats why we had a 5% mortality rate at the beginning of this fear mongering. That is why it has dropped to like .2%. Unless you think this virus got weaker, the rate has decreased because more people got tested. Lets not pretend people that got killed by gunshots were listed as COVID deaths. Lets not pretend drug overdoses were not listed as COVID deaths, and yes when a doctor says a person is terminally ill with a week to live, getting COVID 3 days out was not the cause of death. It makes sense that we have a large number of "COVID deaths" when we add that label to people who dont have much longer to live. Especially when the guidlines say you dont need a positive COVID test to label a death certificate as a COVID death. These are facts. Sorry but i have a problem saying someone possibly dying WITH COVID as a COVID death when it determines whether we should shut down our economy as well as adversely effect the health of people quarantining themselves either due to mental health or delayed elective care.
Not sure why you’re fixated on the fatality ratio, but it is # of covid deaths divided by the #of confirmed covid cases. It’s a statistical fact. People who aren’t covid positive aren’t considered. Unless you have documented proof that hospitals/public health officials are falsifying covid related deaths, then you are simply peddling in conspiracy theories. What would their incentive be? Why would countries around the world also falsely label deaths as covid related when they weren’t? They shut down their economies too. Sometimes a deadly virus is really a deadly virus. This isn’t some grand global political scheme. Covid is serious, highly contagious and sometimes deadly. Not many people want to play Russian roulette with their lives or the lives of their children. This ain’t hard. Have a nice day.
 
You must be new here?

Charter schools often increase segregation in primary education, even when their stated goal is to remove the geographical attendance restrictions that cause de facto segregation. This is obviously not always the case and in many instances they do help. But they are also often used to perpetuate segregation, especially in the south.

I’m not going to give you an exhaustive list, as you can easily find reasons online. You’ll need to do your own research. It also requires looking at them from the perspective of what is good for education in the U.S. instead of what is best for me, here, right now without regard for how they impact others. I know that is not possible for MAGAts.
 
All the more reason to get rid of public school teachers in unions. There is a benefit to keep charter school teachers who we can fire easily for poor performance.

Messy, EOTL and ESPY will be the new leaders of the forum if Joe wins that's for sure. We will all have to ask for forgiveness and they will be in charge of you and your family. Think about Judge Messy and then the Executioner EOTL. ESPY will be there for us to appeal our sins but he will deny us a pardon and you will be in the hands of EOTL. Scary, but you can see how these fools talk. I will fight and speak as long as I can breath!!!!

We will go back to insulting each other about soccer when our kids can go back to playing soccer. Until then, the soccer purists are fighting a losing battle to keep everyone on topic.
