Trump moves to obliterate education

Just so you know, this is U blaming me for being a very small woman. I guess, rather than address the problem of violence in schools, we just need a bunch of huge men to teach 5-10 year olds.

You know in my state NO ONE can touch the kids if they're in destruction mode, but surely populating an elementary school with huge dudes would help, right?
I’m not blaming you, I’m supporting you. Violent children do not belong in regular schools. They need to be in schools with trained professionals and low student teacher ratios to deal with their problems.
 
Then why do you need a knife or a gun to protect yourself from a woman?
Because I’m now a fat seventy plus year old, not an in shape brute like I was in my twenties and thirties. In those days I feared no one, now I am aware that I am viewed as a victim by certain violent people. An armed woman can kill you as dead as an armed man.

Which we already have.
 
Even decades ago, my kids, both really bright--my daughter earned her bachelor and master's degrees with honors inside of four years--could not cover all their college costs by working for wages. We couldn't help a great deal but did help as much as we could. They both graduated college with substantial student loans that they did pay off on schedule.

My husband and I, even working for low wages, paid all our expenses in college--our parents could not or did not help at all--and had no debt when we finished our formal education. No we did not go to prestigious schools but got good education in small state universities.

I would like for people to be able to do that again.
I agree, but that ship may have sailed. And I do recognize the plight of millions of Americans saddled with six figures of school loan debt. But the right way to correct that is to DEMAND that the colleges and universities with their multi-billion dollar endowments be the means for reducing that debt NOT the Federal government.

Oh I agree.

But I'm guessing that if the federal government gets out of it altogether, the colleges and universities will have to actually compete for their students again. And without a bottomless pit of federal money, they'll have to start finding ways to make college affordable for those students via scholarships and grants. They may need to get more creative with those huge endowments to actually help educate students.

Colleges and Universities may need their own DOGE teams to figure out how to get the best value from the monies they have. The day of multi million dollar salaries for coaches and such may be over as well as it should be.

 
The U.S. Department of Education today announced it has terminated over $600 million in grants to institutions and nonprofits that were using taxpayer funds to train teachers and education agencies on divisive ideologies. Training materials included inappropriate and unnecessary topics such as Critical Race Theory; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI); social justice activism; “anti-racism”; and instruction on white privilege and white supremacy. Additionally, many of these grants included teacher and staff recruiting strategies implicitly and explicitly based on race.

The grants are awarded to teacher preparation programs that train future classroom teachers. Examples from the grant applications included:

  • Requiring practitioners to take personal and institutional responsibility for systemic inequities (e.g., racism) and critically reassess their own practices;
  • Receiving professional development workshops and equity training on topics such as “Building Cultural Competence,” “Dismantling Racial Bias” and “Centering Equity in the Classroom”;
  • Acknowledging and responding to systemic forms of oppression and inequity, including racism, ableism, “gender-based” discrimination, homophobia, and ageism;
  • Building historical and sociopolitical understandings of race and racism to interrupt racial marginalization and oppression of students in planning instruction relationship building discipline and assessment;
  • Providing “targeted practices in culturally relevant and responsive teaching abolitionist pedagogies and issues of diversity in classroom management”; and
  • Providing spaces for critical reflection to help educators confront biases and have transformative conversations about equity.




So now you may be asking yourself what did you get for your billions of dollars over the years ?



She's a PhD
She going to attack the wrong person and wind up on the ground bleeding . She'll be able to count herself lucky to just walk away afterwards
And she's more than welcome to come on up to Appalachiastan and give it a shot

Bill Clinton would so do her

They are only brave enough to try it in mobs one on one they would piss themselves and run away.

Cowards the whole lot of them.
 
How about we concentrate on reading, writing arithmetic and the sciences and leave the rest of the bullshit out of public education. You know the areas the average American student fails at miserably compared to the rest of the world.
