Class. Warfare.
The idea that a job title and skills that exist for the sole creation of a monetary system is the problem. The idea that one person deserves a better life than others because they are good at making shareholders money is absolutely bananas. It goes back to people thinking for some reason that we don’t need to pay teachers and funnel money into education. We do. And it’s okay if you think that’s a dangerous way of thinking. It’s totally fine to have differing opinions. Just know that I am a registered voter, and as much as a lot of y’all love to stay wrapped in your little safe space there are a ton of people who feel similarly.

The plight of humans is to wrestle with unwinnable problems. I’d LOVE it if every single dollar I pay in taxes went to something good. I’m FULLY aware that politicians are overwhelmingly grifters and that they’re squandering my money on bullshite. But the only thing cutting taxes is going to do is hurt people who need it the most. As I said above, I worked for years in inner city schools. Kids didn’t have textbooks weeks/months into the semester. You spent 90% of your time trying to keep the class calm because you had 40 kids a room instead of 15-20. Teachers were quitting mid-semester—just straight up not showing up because they couldn’t take it anymore. I didn’t even know that was a thing until I worked there. If you cut taxes you’d just compound the problem. This applies elsewhere in impoverished places.
I don’t know the solution, but it’s not taking things away. I understand the Right’s core belief that there is waste in government, but the solution isn’t as simple as giving less.

I'm not too far from your age, and I think that's moronic thinking. I mean, we can have differing opinions, but they aren't all created equally. Creating value for businesses and consumers is pretty much the very definition of what should determine someone's economic compensation. To think otherwise is ignorance akin to an anti-vaxxer or something along those lines. Get a better economic education.

As a society, it wouldnt be prudent to pay the mentally handicapped a wage equal to the smartest of the population.
I would expect that you would disagree, since you are obviously mentally handicapped.

My peers are my age, and we aren’t entitled little boys and girls that get everything paid by mommy and daddy and sip cappuccinos at Starbucks or whatever other dumb stereotype you perpetuate. I’m a pretty rough guy, as are a lot of people who feel the same way. The wealth will be redistributed and there are more people who agree than disagree.

I don't doubt that individual schools struggle - it's endemic here in Chicago and is all over the place in my hometown as well.
But take a look at what your district had in revenue per pupil and spending per pupil and compare it to high-performing districts near you. And, better yet, take that revenue per pupil number and compare it to other Western countries with better education systems than we have (hint: they almost all spend less per pupil than we do, even in our poorer districts).
We've gotten to a marginal cost vs. marginal benefit problem with public education, and the way public monies are allocated are horrific. Teacher pensions and healthcare, in particular, are ravenous resource consumers.

There are outliers to every statistic, but the vast majority of the people who fall into this category are going to be way behind other kids who grow up in stable households with parents that emphasize good behavior along with strong educational values.
I agree with this 100%

A lot of the things students are taught are worthless as well. I think there should be a total overhaul of the curriculum and leaders need to speak out more on how important it is to try hard in grade school to fight the stigma of it being "uncool" to make good grades.
Agree with this as well.

College is NOT meant for everyone and it is vastly overused in this country as it is. Watering it down even further with millions of more students won't help.
I agree that college is not meant for everyone and that it’s dumb to try and force everyone to go. But people should be able to go if they want without accruing crippling debt.

Disagree completely about it being a right. And I won't even get into the fantasy of paying for healthcare for a country that holds 350+ million people. Patients are admitted all of the time into hospitals even without insurance. The hospitals end up eating the costs. The system is already pretty broken, but universal healthcare would totally break this system. There are so many downsides that would negatively affect patients, doctors, and everyday citizens paying taxes.
The system is broken. Completely. I don’t know the solution either, but we have to figure it out. But people need healthcare, and I don’t think that should be controversial.
quote:
But you did make that decision knowing that teachers do not receive much compensation.
That’s true. I’ve made lots of mistakes, and I’ve tried to learn from them and help others not make them.
The problem I have is that I’ve seen enough to believe the system we’re in right now is not working. I don’t know the answers, but I feel like part of the problem is that we too often jam the opposition into neat little boxes that don’t do them justice. I’m guilty of this as well, but that’s why I come here—to fight that urge.

I'm in college now (at UT Knox) and I see a lot of this here. I'm not trying to sound arrogant, but for those who aren't in STEM, business, architecture, or pre-professional fields, I wish them luck.
I'm a year away from graduating with my engineering degree. Hopefully my job search will be much shorter than the other people in my generation who took the easy route with a bullshite major and smoked weed all through college. But I'll save my gloating for when I actually get that job- for now, I'm not making fun of anyone until I'm successful.

You are too stupid to comprehend that a free college education will devalue a college degree to the point that it will be the equivalent of having a HS diploma today. There won’t be more jobs available to place all of these people who get a “free college” degree.
These are the same folks that think immediately raising the minimum wage to $15/hr will automatically solve poverty. You can’t fix stupid.
