I have said things like this before and will say it again. I love Florida, why ? Because that state is doing all it can to ensure their children do not get a good education, it insures the kids in my State will have a leg up in getting well paying jobs.
That is because it seems they are ensuring FL children are taught and live "My way or the Highway"
So, thank you Florida and other Red US States to help ensure the Children where I live will get the better jobs and know more about life.
- stcroixx 4y agoDoes your state teach special rules for how capitalization is used? I haven't seen anything like that before.
- ChainOfFools 4y agoGoogle voice typing, which is likely what OP may be using to dictate his post, has lately begun inserting Capitalizations in Strange Places that you have to manually edit out. The UX of Google Voice typing makes this extraordinarily cumbersome and inconvenient to do, especially if your other hand is not free.
- DontchaKnowit 4y agoFirst off this is a griss and unempathetic take. Second off- it has nothing ti do with florida being red. I grew up in a very democrat town that had a disgustingly corrupt school board. Bad education top to bottom. The main issues that lead to a bad school : 1) shitty parenting. Goes hand in hand with poverty. Creates awful learning environment 2) general incompetence/administrative malice : schools do not seem to be design explicitly for the pyrpose of benefitting students- this goal is abandoned in order to meet a variety of tertiary goals. 3) corruption. If the money is gettung spent on nepotism and emvezzlement, it aint getting spent on kids. Now, every single one of those points applies to communities in both red and blue states. So please, lets not make this partisan.
- jmclnx 4y ago> First off this is a griss and unempathetic take Yes it is and I am hoping people in FL sees this that way. Then maybe they will do something. Instead they are electing people to ensure the kids miss out on education that others will get. 2 or 3 parents can force who maybe a good teacher to leave and no one fights back. What FL will end up with are teachers who work just for a pay check instead of people who care for the kids. How many teachers in FL and other states are leaving ? I remember hearing there was a big teacher shortage in OK, TX and I think Kansas due to these issues. Maybe the same is true in FL. This is a good example of what FL is doing to itself: https://www.hampshire.edu/admissions/apply-hampshire/transfer-students/new-college https://www.hampshire.edu/admissions/apply-hampshire/transfe...
- DontchaKnowit 4y agothe same is true damn near everywhere. In rural Missouri (and some cities) it is awful. Teachers are underqualified, underpaid, and work in absolutely unacceptable environments. Violent children, violent parents, no support from administration, no real authority or power to discipline. It is glorified state mandated babysitting. It's disgusting.
