The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Of course this has nothing to do with the education of our children, and most state and federal education regulation is intended to purchase votes -- mostly for Democrats -- or reward favored businesses like publishers or food production or construction, etc. But the big one is the teachers unions. The NEA, AFT, and the various big state teachers unions are nothing more than advocacy groups for federal and state education spending, which translates directly to increased revenue for their bloated pensions. The idea that they advocate for THE CHILDREN is a sick joke. Adding highly-paid administrators and teachers and teachers aides, and pushing for more paid time off and technology in the classroom has nothing to do with education, and everything to do with money. They sell their votes to the politicians, and the politicians pump up education spending without any link to actual success in the classroom. And because many school districts mandate membership in the union, teachers are captive, and the selection process weeds out candidates who would normally go into teaching, but choose not to because of the coerciveness of union membership. Add in a rabid leftist cant to everything they advocate for: transgender insanity, no parental notification, mandatory vaccinations (Covid anyone?), teaching their personal brand of America Hate like the 1619 Project, and plain old dumbasses tasked with teaching our kids, it's no wonder that we are rapidly falling behind much of the world! Yes...I said it. Lots and lots of teachers are barely capable of functioning in modern society. They are the dumbest of the college lot, taking ridiculously easy classes to get a Klown Kollege degree in education. And then, to pump up their salaries, they go back to schools of education for a Masters, and then a few years later get the holy grail of sub-wits: an EdD. But a cursory examination of the curricula will show that these are merely paper degrees. There is nothing remotely challenging in the course work, and the programs are designed for maximum ease rather than rigorous academics. I've known a few teachers in my day. Most of them are intellectual pygmies. Oh...wait! There is one who is quite bright! He's a high school teacher in NJ. And one hell of a shot with a pistol. Yup...he is a member of my local shooting club. Charter schools, home schooling, private religious schools, and some non-sectarian private schools provide an alternative to the catastrophic failure of most of our public schools. But until the power of the unions and the education academy is broken, too many American children will be sentenced to a miserable and pathetic education that does nothing for them, except indoctrinate them into a culture of failure. President Donald Trump understands this, and chose an outsider to lead the Department of Education. Hopefully Linda McMahon destroys the department from the inside, but even modest changes will improve the sad lot of America's youth.

Not unlike the UK, and I would assume the rest of Europe, where those who can possibly afford it will do everything in their power to get their children educated outside of the "daycare of last resort" which are government schools.

They are being hired solely in order to provide jobs to those that share the delusions of the democrat activists that have been placed in power. The people being hired would otherwise have no access to money, as they don't have any real job skills.
You can listen to any public pronouncement by these so called police chiefs, fire chiefs, and educrats. They don't talk about results for the clients, but results for diversity in their workforce, which is the only metric that is completely unimportant.

I've told this story before: my father was the Principal of a Reform School (required for those kicked out of regular High Schools) back in the 80s.
He told me about a teacher with a PhD -- an immigrant, naturally (from Greece IIRC) -- who was basically English-illiterate. It took him over a year of gathering and presenting evidence to the School District to finally get her fired, as the Teacher's Union of course put up a vigorous fight.

Yes, I know, some of them are great. I had the good fortune of going to a very small government school when I was young that had great teachers, but the system has gone off the rails. Had to homeschool my own to get some reasonable results.

This is not the case any longer, females are drawn to other fields. In too many instances the educational field draws from the bottom of the barrel now. It is undeniable. As a military veteran, for a brief period there was a push for more males in the teaching profession, and incentives.
I attended some classes. It was very clear to me that as a caucasian male I was not wanted.
The reason everything is failing is because the gatekeepers have been selecting only by politics for decades. There is absolutely no diversity in thought allowed.
Note well school “professionals” if they have any self awareness or concern do not send their own children (it they have any) to public schools.

When I was in grammar school (Kennedy and early LBJ years), I'm not sure my mother could have gotten away with homeschooling me. I think they still had truant officers, which suggests the school districts didn't allow you to keep your school-age kids out of school and teach them yourself. I guess. When I was field-promoted by my Grade One teacher to Grade Two, I had to undergo some testing that next summer to prove I was qualified to move on to Grade Three. Homeschooling me might have taken some lawyer time.

True Story: Was visiting the father of a friend who lived somewhere in L.A. County in the mid-80s; woke up early and went for a walk in the neighborhood.
Passed a high school that literally had 10-foot high chain-linked fences topped with barbed wire surrounding the grounds. My first (and last) thought was that it was a prison ...

Junior high teachers were typically excellent as I recall. 7th grade Texas history was cool. In 8th grade we read through "All's Quite on the Western Front" and stuff like that. 9th graders ruled the school.
Senior High was a blast for me. Football, cars, girls and the beach. In the summer before my senior year I decided I needed to be on my own but I never considered not going to school. I could write my own permits. 60s and 70s might have been the apex but my kids did well in the 80s and 90s.
That was all in Houston. My grands out here in the country are also doing very well. I am so glad they are not having to deal with HISD.

The “education degree” racket. Note well in even the poorest counties, there will be a huge multi-million dollar Taj majal built.
It is outrageous what leftist run communities have done. Half your taxes go to schools that don’t teach, boys are viewed simply as defective girls, and the other half goes to cops, who aren’t allowed to arrest criminals.
That which can’t go on won’t, but it is taking longer than we thought. I predict fireworks at some point, and the inevitable “nobody could have seen this coming!”. Fuck ‘em.

When our oldest son was not doing well in public school, I called Riverside Military Academy in Gainesville Ga and off he went. It changed his life for the better. He did a complete turn around. His time in the Marine Corps also helped him focus on what is important. He graduated from college and has a great job and he and daughter-in-law have four awesome children.

Best teacher I remember was a 9th grade history teacher. He taught us WW1 and 2 really in depth. Not just names and dates of battles. But the politics behind what led to both wars, the aftermath. He made that stuff come alive.

I heard a more in depth one recently, and was amazed. The people had no idea who was vice president, didn't know who their senators were, and didn't know the decade world war two occurred.
Funny thing, they went further, and those same people could name all five top ten songs, and which actors and actresses were having affairs with who.

My teacher sister retired at 55 after big pay raises her last 3 years, getting nearly full pay in retirement, plus all the health benefits. They probably spent a million on her first cancer treatments. Post Covid her and her husband have had strokes, like 2-4 between them. They were fully jabbed and boosted, so it "could have been worse" (or so the fable goes). He is Jewish and she is post Lutheran agnostic I guess, but their common church is PBS. sad.

In grade school, there were still some teachers that didn't hold teaching degrees when they began teaching. They worked so hard & had huge classes, and all for little money and many work hours.
All-in-all, they did an excellent job teaching a multitude of subjects to kids that spanned our class system even then. Seldom did a child need to be held back for grades and inability to learn; needed intermediate assistance was promptly obtained through the public school systems; reading was stressed as was science though they lacked money for computer labs, sometimes having only one or two computers for 6th, 7th, 8th grades. Volunteering for community service projects, participation in Science Fairs was also mandatory for those grades. A large majority of the kids won high school scholarships, reduced payment rates.
But all of those teachers surpassed basic requirements for teaching, and thorough reviews of their lives, and pursued degrees. (Had to be obtained within a certain number of years.)
Never regretted that decision.

The town I moved to 6 miles up the road is a more expensive town ranked 97 out of 100 nationally for low crime. Another good school system. Also lilly frigging white. The dirty secret is these shit teachers won't end up here, they'll end up in the shit areas of jersey and those "minority" kids will just get dumber and dumber and shoved through the system. I have a cousin who is a teacher, cute blonde who took a job in a shit area. I asked why, she said because those kids need it, and they aren't getting it. Even she knew the system was stacked against them. The blue areas of jersey are doomed, but screw it, they vote for it.

While it doesn't really affect me aside from ever-rising, all ready very high school taxes and lack of fiscal accountability, I'm hoping more Asian parents move to the neighborhood from Philly & then light a fire under the school administrations now very top heavy with Principals, Counselors and Teacher's Aides.

There was one time I voted yes. It was a measure to increase DMV fees. But it wasn’t just an increase, they money would have a specific use. There a few projects designated like expanding a portion of a freeway, some new bridges, things like that. Legit projects that would have alleviated traffic. Well worth the extra $75 a year in car registration fees.
And wouldn’t you know. That’s the one fucking measure people voted down lol. But giving teachers $7k raises, super easy barely an inconvenience.

It's the same thing as the "eating the cats, eating the dogs" story. They went and asked the city officials, the ones responsible for bringing in Haitians, and the city told them "No, the Haitians are not eating the dogs, eating the cats."
Meanwhile, there's video out there of people trapping geese in the ponds, someone with a knife on a cat, countless witness reports, and missing animals.
But they told us there was none, so the nooz media went with that.

In Arizona long ago there was a school for delinquent boys called Ft. Grant. When my little brother was 5 or 6 I convinced him that the brown UPS vans he would see on the streets were trucks sent out by Ft. Grant to pick up boys that had disobeyed their parents and gotten in trouble. He told me much later that he was terrorized for years by that idea, hiding in a closet whenever he saw one of those vans drive down the road.

Our schools are funded by property taxes. In fact the citizens of Austin just voted, yes voted, to increase how much we are taxed for the schools. They touted that it would be an increase of about $450 per property... mine went up over $1250 A YEAR. The worst part is Texas has recapture so about 76% of that increase doesn't stay in the district it goes to the state to distribute as it sees fit. Only 24% stays in the district 😱🤯😤
But you see, the teachers need a raise because they can't afford to live here in what they make...and we'll lose all the teachers.

Trump lives in Realsville, and only has a summer house in Fantasyland, which he is going to use as inspiration for improvement and Realsville is going to be the best and most fantastic place you will ever see.
However, the current power brokers are forcing everyone to live in workers housing, are calling it the 4 Seasons, and are charging Club Med prices for the ability to be murdered in their sleep and to live in poverty.
This isn't the definition of "brittle" this is literally immiseration, and it is intentional to bring about a new centrally planned world, it is just that Trump is getting inside that timeline and showing the rats, the garbage and telling everyone they owe it to themselves to do better.

Not just Austin. I posted upthread that bond measures where I live pass easily all the fucking time. And I live in a reddish area. My county voted for Trump all 3 times. Basically 50/50 red/blue divide with a slight red tilt. But when it comes to bind measures for “education” they pass with 60-65% every damn time.
And each time it’s ONLY an increase of $100 per home owner on average. But you start adding those $100s and eventually you get thousands.
The unions have incredible marketing teams to swindle tax payers.
And another part of it is renters think it won’t apply to them. Cuz only those evil home owners have to pay right?

Now, we don't have a sales tax (except on hotels/rental cars/prepared food), no income tax. NH has full assessed value when determining property values. My town's population is around 32k, with declining student enrollement. Yet the school system is demanding a $90 million budget for FY2026.

Don't anyone start singing the song, but imagine if we lived in a country where the banks charged interest rates based on an attempt to bring down inflation, instead of making political hay.
Where would our rates be? Somewhere around where Russia's are. Also, I bet when they say the rate of inflation was 8.9 in November, that's way closer to the truth than our phony numbers.

Someone had posted their receipt from tacobell from 10 years ago. And the prices were...25% of what they are now.
At first a bunch of lefties tried to argue that the guy posted a fake receipt, that he'd changed things, or that he had gotten some special sale, but other people found pictures of taco bell prices in his area from that time and they were right.
So of course then the next thing the leftists did was start arguing Taco Bell isn't good for you so its a good thing people can't afford it any more
