@Yuri Bezmenov찾아보세요 부탁입니다 SATs/ACTs aren't a great way to test children on their abilities. In fact, SATs/ACTs dont really serve a purpose. And children have always come home from school learning about social interactions because English classes literally teach you about the time period a piece of literature was written and how it contrasts in today's society. History class teaches you about not just wars but also the union strikes and how it affected the laws on meat production and processing. Math teaches you to conceptualize the value of the items, to know the interest rates on loans. You just think that all school subjects should be taught in a vacuum when that has literally never been the case at all

I work in politics and while I do hate it unfortunately those timing rules are what we have to do. I love the point this guy was making and think this school board sucks You'll see this no matter where you are and how progressive it is. I am not defending the school board, but parliamentary procedure is considered sacred, like a sort of rule of law. I see pros and cons to it. Still most people don't know parliamentary procedure which is common in political parties and school boards, so I hope I informed you. You can dislike it fine by me, but I do want to point it out. Because a lot of people misinterpret following parliamentary procedure as lack of care. While this school board definitely didn't, I do feel it's unfair to mischaracterize the issue. There's many worse things to blame them here for.

I was a pre school teacher and loved it, after being forced into taking shifts and longer hours I was $20 over the threshold for food stamps, I have a young special needs child at home and was only making $10/hr and couldn't afford food without them. I pleaded to HR and they basically shrugged it off, even though my son had been a beloved student 1 year prior. Afterwards I contracted covid and was sick for 5 weeks, after the 10 day covid sick leave my boss called me to tell me that I no longer had covid was therefore healthy and had to come back to work. I had to tell them that I couldn't risk my students, their families and my coworkers lives while I was still waiting to see if I would even survive. I was forced into quitting, and ended up developing chronic health issues after the fact. The American education system is appalling, they do not care for the kids or the teachers and staff.

Something like healthcare 3.0, where the clinicians and department heads actually make the decisions. A place where administrators always take a backseat, where their sole focus is to support their staff, keep the lights on, pay the bills. A board of directors would be a check and balance body, to make sure that the clinicians and department heads were staying within the guidelines of their duties and responsibilities. Additionally the board of directors being prominent members of society, would help raise money, advertise, and support the business. Each board member would be required to volunteer a certain amount of time within the organization in different departments in different capacities throughout the year.
