were they right in what they were doing or not?

Ok. What do you think it was, why did it happen, and was it justified?

this is why reasonable conversation is difficult here. blm rioters were terrible. now that's that out of the way, you think those rednecks were justified in attacking the capital?

they were good people?

i send my kids to private, so the only thing i get out of my school taxes is the bussing, but i would hope that more resources put in means a better output. the eastern suburban schools here have a great system as you know. you do down state towards the westchester area, and the schools are considered the best in the state, but the tax rate is even higher than ours.

i have no echo chamber brother. i have no side. instead i have a life. continued to be outraged by the nothings. i'll enjoy my evenings and weekends with my family and friends while you continue to post tweet after tweet so you and maybe 10 other people can scream winning or fafo!

i'm not gonna lie...i for some reason kick out of the ebt tik toks where after getting their benefits, families record themselves buying pallets of total garbage. there's usually a little dance involved too. i'll miss it.

i'll be thrilled to see when it happens. people need to get paid.

i think in general the norther schools just tend to be better than the southern schools. we have better resources because we pay for it. i just got notice that they're going to reasses our property next year, and i'm waiting to get bent over.

why doesn't maga just vote yes? i certainly don't know all the nuances involved, but it just become so easy for this administration to place blame. do you not put it past trump to drag this on? the guy threw a giant tantrum over a canadian commercial to the point where he cut off trade. that's insane.

it's never just one side. on top of that, were close to the longest shut down in history? do you know whose presidency had the longest shut down so far? it's not all a simple coincidence. i'm down for discussion, but anytime this does anything wrong or it doesn't go their way, the other side is to blame, with no questioning at all. i don't buy into that.

i was there in the mid-90s too actually.

anyone who thinks the shut down is due to only one side is completely foolish.

of course! my son will go to the same high school i went to as well depending how life works out. i'm all about treating school like a job.

my intention wasn't to turn this into a thread on education, but some of this isn't correct. you can absolutely take AP classes in ny. i'm not sure what you mean by need to qualify, but they don't want kids who are failing earth science to take AP bio. otherwise any kid can take an AP course if they want. there's no more or less availability. and canisius offers less, "college level classes"...what? you do realize canisius is a college prep school? all jesuit high schools are. i went to the jesuit school in rochester, and we absolutely had AP classes. It's in no way an apples to apples comparison. those schools have far different expectations from their students. if you're a pain in the ass or don't do your work...you're gone. the work load alone is easily double to triple our local public schools. that being said, those schools aren't for everyone, but to say the offer less college level classes is insane and wrong.
