not at the district/state/federal level, unfortunately. These DoE bureacrats in DC (and lawmakers) send their kids to private schools, while over-regulate public schools with nonsense and grift. Regular public school principal has

the highest per student spend is at the most failing and underperforming school systems: Chicago, DC, Baltimore - and they haven't showed a trend to improve at all and keep demanding more and more resources

public school system is full of grift, politically appointed and allocated resources, and zero accountability. if you face inefficient system that cannot manage resources - you cannot pour more resources and expect better results. as a proo

private schools face fierce competition and immediate feedback loop from parents. public school system is not accountable at all to parents. this makes sure that interest of school and parents and kids are aligned and no political bs coming

I read the article and think that Arizona's problems are not inherent to the voucher system per se, just how they administered it. People found a loophole. Need to tie closely the money coming out with the voucher and the corresponding

bias is some normative lens that some people came up with, but it is purely subjective and is a social construct, that has roots in the area of social justice and has nothing to do with the LLM. the proof is that all critics of AI/LLM

you care confusing collecting data with persisting user data. it is easy to prove what your app collects from OS's permission model and web traffic. People are less interested in whether you store it for future use or discard it im

basic interop like fetching data from s3 bucket, formatting it and showing as a table in excel would be a good use case, but not sure serverside python is needed for that. more interesting idea could be using Excel as a jupyter-like front-e

who are you to dictate what people do with their lives and deny them their free will?

My argument is that secondary education is not about education, since standards have dropped with the introduction of common core and other improvement in the name of "education equity". If you want to send your kid to daycare, pl
