Everything is designed for the government and businesses to make money. Again everything from school, (including college because of unnecessary debt) the credit system, the roads, traffic laws and lights. The ROAD is a huge one a lot of us miss as money grab. For example it is very dangerous for cars on opposite sides of the road to be allowed to turn left and the other straight, roundabouts, traffic can continue on the side of you, WHILE you're allowed to turn left into a lane. These traffic laws and lights are designed to increase accidents which would result in more money for the city, government, and businesses. EVERYTHING is designed to get more money for them. EVERYTHING.

I don't live in the area but I share their sentiments about the unjustified firing of a principal, by all accounts, who had an outstanding performance, and a great relationship with parents and students. I appreciate the men for advocating and shining a light on injustice.

These gentlemen are very well spoken with great information. I applaud their support to the school, children & principal. Go get ‘‘em sirs!!

[@Kangaruworld1]

When a principal like Yates develops plans and processes that gets things done right. You know somebody gonna be coming after someone like her. Therefore is it always best to make plans to continue those same examples and process just incase that person does get removed. And create a plan to detect the methods and actions used against people like her. Be prepared at all cost always. Stay focused. This is just an opinion.

I'm sure it was a stupid reason..maybe something as simple as a joke. Teachers and principals are fired for no damn reason. School districts have been big bullies especially to staff who are genuinely supportive of kids. They don't give resources yet have ridiculous expectations. All they care about is damn numbers and not the kids. They don't care if the kids are suicidal or falling into drugs or whatever is a happening at home. All they care about is their money and protecting their legal butts (also for money). They want attendance and grades also for money. All this while teachers quit in high numbers. They will power trip their own districts to the ground.

[@zkart8038]

Btw I was a teacher who was made to resign because one of my senior make students made a joke about "almost dying trying a pole dancing stunt in his sister's garage". We all laughed and I went back to teaching. Of course teens have teenage humor and kids joked about it every now and then. I left because I didn't like the job anyway . But the very disconnected admins who don't know how kids socialize, decided to question the kids after I left and asked if I was flirty or touchy with them..yes over a joke I didn't make. I normalized the reality of teenage humor and didn't punish the child because it was a self deprecating joke not targeted at anyone. Worse is that they didn't let me say goodbye. Some kids and their parents called me to dismiss all the crazy rumors that ensued. It was awful. This, after I was the first support system for one kid at that same school whose friend committed suicide by hanging himself (also make student at the same school) and I had a long discussion about mortality and grieving with him and his other friend who also lost her step dad within the same two months.

I thought the purpose of high school was to prepare you to graduate high school. Whether or not high school students are college bound should be left up to students and parents. What's wrong with trade school or the service (Army, Airforce, Marines, Navy)?

[@dyates6380]

Excellent point. There is NOTING wrong with trade schools, and frankly, these days I'd advocate for it. There is a big shortage of trades people and they have the capacity to make a VERY good living, and in a lot of cases more than many people with even Masters degrees.

[@lajonelliott7155]

As someone who went to college and also joined the military, it isn’t for everyone either. No the purpose of high school is to give you the basics and fundamentals skills of education to be able to critically think. Not to just simply graduate. There is absolutely nothing wrong with preparing students to be prepared for college should they choose to go. FYI, it’s better to go to college because when you do and have a degree 📜 you automatically start off at a higher rank that just going straight into the military after hight school. Stop ✋🏾 trying to force people to go into the military to be controlled and used by a system. PS, I’m a 21 years of service veteran who knows what I’m talking about.

[@spiceoflife1242]

1.The plan is the ones who go to prison are free labor and government pays to keep them there and they are a product! Make money on commissary and them being slaves work for free! 2.

[@kelj4517]

@La'Jon Elliott I’m a military veteran also! I agree with most of your comment. I went to community college for one year before I joined the military. The having a degree before joining the military does not really matter unless you are going to make a career out of the military. I did 6 years and got our when I was 26. Now I’m 30 and 100% P&T and don’t have to work another day of my life unless I want to! Not many people can say they are retired at 30 with full benefits. I did get my associates degree using my G.I. Bill but I really don’t need it because I’m retired!

It’s all about more funding for the district. Not schools, districts.

I agree! I grew up in Detroit, MI and I will say the majority of us living in Detroit went from High School to a manufacturing job. At 19 I was making over 100k at Chrysler putting the speakers in vehicles on the assembly line. College wasn't pushed at the time. Every student wanted to work in the plants. I've put my kids through college, bought land and property. Blue Collar workers can have a better life than most. College is good. But the debt can have an impact once you graduate college. Texas wages are lower than most states. Yet the cost of living is higher now. So it's important to have an education so a person can have more choices and mobility to move elsewhere where wages are higher.

It has always been about investments. During my undergraduate years, early 90's, I told others that student loans were packaged and sold on the secondary market as an extremely safe investment (guaranteed government interest payments, while in school and while students were not able to immediately repay), steady interest income, without threat of bankruptcy erasing the obligation. It was never about higher education for the masses.
