You would support withholding of federal stimulus funds for your fellow citizens unless they acquiesce to compulsory vaccination, take a $1400 designed to “stimulate” the economy and use it for self-serving purposes, and are a supporter of the student loan debt soup kitchen as well? Yes. Part of the reason we've sucked so much at Covid is because of the moron anti-maskers in our country who you can be sure are vastly also part of the anti-vaccination movement. I say this anecdotally from the people I know who are anti-maskers, but I doubt you'd disagree that they're largely (though not entirely) part of the same group. Wanna complain constantly about everything being shut down and having to wear a mask anywhere in public? Get your damn vaccination so we can crawl out of this. "take a $1400 designed to “stimulate” the economy and use it for self-serving purposes" ... I get that you're probably playing Devil's Advocate or trying to be funny with this... but on the off chance that I should take that statement seriously... As for student loan debt. The average cost of college is 31 times more than it was 50 years ago and today the average American needs to earn $22k more than the median income just to afford college. Yes, something needs to be done. 5 hours ago, leh-nerd skin-erd said: Was your income affected at all by the lockdown? I have friends here in NY who work in govt— the lockdown was really an unexpected windfall for them. Salary continued unabated, but with the shutdown, the money they saved not having to commute was substantial. Income hasn't been affected, yet. Anticipating it happens this year as we are in a contract year. And I've still had to commute to teach... even from an empty classroom at the beginning of this. 5 hours ago, leh-nerd skin-erd said: As for the student loan program, how do you feel it should be addressed? How much debt of those victimized by higher education should be “tackled” and who should be saddled with the debt? I'm not a policy-maker and so I won't pretend to be able to make these proposals, but I think the $10k of student loan debt cancellation is a good start. Republicans are such funny creatures: Deficit Hawks when Democrats are in office and massive spenders when Republicans are in office. Funny how our Deficit is consistently lower under Democratic Administrations than Republican Administrations. Glad this bill went through as it's $1.9 trillion that is actually going to help a lot of Americans that need really need the help in the lower and middle class as opposed to Trump's tax cut adding $1.9 trillion to our debt that primarily benefits the very wealthy.

It’s a daycare job supplied with state/county mandated talking points requireing no depth of knowledge or understanding while being accountable to no performance standards whatsoever. (Public school system allowed this) those who can do, those who can’t teach Might be true for some, but certainly not most. Teaching is a calling for many of us. It's the career I wanted to go into starting in 9th grade and that never changed. Been teaching for 17 years and love my job. It's challenging and rewarding in ways someone who's never done it will simply never understand. And most (though not all) of the teachers I know have dedication to their craft... because that really what it is... a craft. I have conferences with occasional idiot parents (sounds like you're one of those) who have a large number of assumptions because they're half paying attention to what their students are doing in schools while pretending they're fully paying attention. Standard Helicopter Parents. Meet with them. Talk to them. Discover they don't know their head from their a$$ because they didn't actually read the syllabus they signed permission for and are consistently being told something by their kids that just isn't true. You wanna help your kids? Put the onus of learning where it belongs first and foremost... on them. Next. Go to the Teacher. Somewhere in the middle there you might also want to examine yourself as a parent. You're clearly bitter... maybe you had a bad teacher and you're just projecting now. I think you should self-assess.
