re: Administrative bloat in Public Schools - Mississippi numbers
Posted by ironwood on 4/11/24 at 6:43 pm
Reply to:RebelExpress38
Giving parents the power over the money allocated to the students sounds like it would be a good move but it would do two things:
1. In order to qualify, private schools would have to meet certain litmus tests (ie teach certain curriculum and testing mandates) it might not ...

re: Discussion: Is Louisiana dumb or do the other opportunities hinder it?
Posted by ironwood on 4/3/24 at 8:40 am
In general, people are lax. They live up or down depending on the norm around them. Public education is so farcically bad that it really doesn't provide a competitive contrast to private school. The main driver of private school enrollment is keeping your kids out of the public hell and cesspit opti...
re: Fed funded health clinic within daughter’s school provided prescription anti-depressants
Posted by ironwood on 3/22/24 at 2:14 pm
This is a big push. The school as community model is to place medical and psychiatric resources within schools. Currently, many schools have children undergo psychiatric surveys, so as to identify areas of concern. The tests are administered via computer and the results are used in studies to justif...

Last night my teenager said he was interested in becoming a doctor. Held my reaction just as I would for any other stupid proposal which might be a passing fad. Going to research what trajectory would still give him a fighting chance at something else. Being a doctor still pays but it looks to be th...

Whatever will they do?.... we all know, they will do exactly what is the worst of all combination of choices and they'll drag that all out with slap stick dancing and buffoonary and it will go on and on year after year with just enough teasing with false hope to keep it all greased up....

Son is almost of age. Hope this isn't the one but have felt oddly suspicious about the rising "citizenship" education being pushed in both public and private schools. Normally, I'd be all in on history and citizenship but considering the source(s), I bet it's a bit more than ESG, DEI, and marxism hi...

Finally a New Orleans failure that is not caused by the incompetence, rot, and ruin of the city leaders. Yeah she's going to make it worse, exploit the situation, and smear her nasty funk all over but isn't salt water intrusion beyond the mayor and SWB?
Still feel blind disgust. ...

This! Lawyer and document!
Also, do not agree to anything or offer anything! It's not casual now. Any time she asks about anything, it goes through the lawyer. Don't move out until you really and truly have spoken with a lawyer, it impacts the house and custody.
Just say "you've got no words and n...

He's your kid. As awkward as it is you have to maintain contact. I would go beyond the facetime or phone conversations. I'd write to him, draw lots of pictures like a comic book... keep that 100% regular, pick your schedule and never break it. I'd give him jokes and humor and stories of you and your...

MAD would require detection. A tailored weapon could induce alterations that led to cancer, degenerative brain disease, sterility, etc. Slow moving diseases which slowly eat away a country. if that's part of the modern toolkit, maybe "diversity is our strength" is more pragmatic than it appears. Unf...
