Making public institutions compete with each other for funding seems like a rather inefficient use of public resources. Why not just remove the middle man and eliminate public education then?

Well you can take them there, you just need to move. Otherwise what you're suggesting is that you should be able to place your child in a school that you yourself do not pay taxes towards since you're not in that district. So othe

Apologies. I meant that point as rhetorical, which is to say that it was meant to help illustrate to the person that I was replying to that other people help pay for their child's education even if they feel that public education is ba

First, I was trying to give you suggestions that may help you in your personal situation. Secondly, I am confused as to what you think should be done. Because it appears that you do not like paying a lot of tax money but expect there to be

So perhaps raise your income so you can afford to move to a better district?

by sightbroke 2y ago
I am not sure secularism is synonymous with atheism. I am pretty sure secular policies would be avoiding advocating or prohibiting for atheism just as it would for any other form of views that fall into religious or faith beliefs.

I wonder if there is a correlation with higher priced homes and improved school districts?

by sightbroke 2y ago
I am confused. 20 mile commute to school is feasible personally for your child but moving 20 miles to be in the district suddenly makes taking care of certain individual infeasible?

by sightbroke 2y ago
You can consider moving to a better district.

Texas has both less people and lower GDP than California yet emits more. How is that not a bit of a disaster?

It is a thin client. In someways just a repackaging (or evolution) of a terminal and time-sharing system. Conceptually great for remote workers assuming no network issues.

I don't really know, the details of measuring energy consumption, emissions, and price is a fairly convoluted concept as far as I know. Asking google AI: "California emmisions rate" gave: "California has seen a decline i

I have a strange feeling teaching people how to make and inject themselves with their own semaglutide may not be a great idea. If you have a doctor on board then maybe?

Pardon my ignorance and I understand the appeal of keeping everything within one cohesive language, but are some of the these core utilities really being made "safer" by rewriting them in rust? I mean, is 'cp' really uns

How can the neutrinos travel at light speed though? Or is this saying that the neutrinos have such a lead time over the photons that the photons themselves have yet to overcome them?

I am sorry if my experimental setup was not clear. Copper is clearly a different medium than fiber optic. That is why I stipulated a single medium for the experiment.

Confused. Are you saying that, if we took a light bulb (off) and a metal rod (0 charge) beside on another. Then were somehow able to turn the light bulb on and apply a charge to the that rod at the same time. While also having a detector t

Not really, and it's not really how things work either. Private industry is charging/billing cost + margin for profit. University is saying X is allocated for research, Y is allocated to keep the lights running for the facility an
