"School choice" is retarded as hell.

People understood this in the 1800s and successfully fought against school choice. What will happen is that papists, mormons, every religious group, and crooked capitalists will abuse the school choice system, eventually creating loads of new corruption, as well as civic erosion, and conflicts not seen in centuries.

There should be one public school option for everyone, and people should have the freedom to private school or homeschool, but the latter should NEVER EVER receive government funds.

School choice is like a leukemia developing in the bones of America.
This is the single most retarded thing I've read in this thread.

The "standards" that have been pushed are an absolute cancer. Look at the methods used for doing basic mathmatics or the fact that the bulk of public schools don't even teach children to write. Add to these dog shit standards the DEI bullshit being pushed, the racket that is education books/publishing, and then this cookie cutter teaching approach that fails to account for the different methods of learning and how this varies from class to class and we have the tumorous mass that is public education.

School choice is critical and it allows for things like tech schools for kids to help get them into trades instead of throwing them into the money vampire that is college when they couldn't cut it in the first place. There are schools with programs for people with disability to help and focus on their issues. There are schools with programs others lack. Denying people access to these schools and forcing them into whatever district they are trapped in does absolutely fucking nothing to assist them, improve education, or our society.
 
Oh that win reminded me of the time we beat the Soviets. So good.
I never understood the fascination with the 'miracle on ice'. The team gets buck broken by the soviets over and over, then one time win and somehow that's impressive? It's like if it were a cultural memory for decades that we beat the guatemalans at jungle-trekking or something. They have a geographical advantage in that kind of sport and it all just smells like cope to me to massage all the times we lost.
 
Imagine a world where we had full school choice and the federal funding was awarded to each student rather than to the schools directly
It was SO SWEET during covid when parents started enrolling their children in programs actually MADE to be online schools instead of skyping into a teacher's living room just to save her job, and schools started emailing parents "PLEASE! DON'T UNENROLL YOUR KIDS!!!!! Don't you know EVERY STUDENT unenrolled is LITERALLY $10,000 subtracted from the school budget?"

I can make ten meals with meat and vegetables for less than $30 using a pressure cooker. It's really not that hard if you're willing to eat the same thing every day.

and if you don't want to eat the same thing every day, you do this every week and freeze half of it, then you do it again, and then again, and then in little bit you're eating the same thing every other day, then you're eating the same thing every couple days, etc

Sad thing is, I don't have a crock pot. I need to get one though. That and an air fryer too. I just don't have a whole lot as far as cooking stuff goes. That's going to change in the next couple of months though. It just hasn't been a high priority of mine. I have pots and pans, but that's about it. Things are getting a little easier and I'm able to afford some things now, so we'll see what happens in the next month or two. I'm gonna start a little at a time and try and ween myself off of being so dependent on TV dinners and stop being a lazy fat ass and do something. Wish me luck, fellas.

get an instant pot over a crock pot.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. With that little bit of encouragement, I have a feeling this year will be the year I finally get shit done and actually lose a little weight. I've already got one of my bigger bills taken care of, so things are gonna get a lot easier from here on. It's just getting over that hurdle of having one thing paid. Things'll get better even more now. I've been looking at cooking channels on Youtube for easy recipes and I'm already getting ideas on some things to grab next month.
 
Another way in which the left moved the Overton Window so much was by pushing more egregious views. Drag queens reading to children is not only demoralizing, but it makes it seem as acceptable and cuckservatives fall for a “common ground.” For example, you have people who ten years ago opposed gay marriage now oppose only puberty blockers, not the idea of transitioning as a whole.

Trump needs to do more egregious things. If he can call for TND then we’ll be discussing how PND is a good compromise.
This is called the frame game. You have half of it -- push outrageous shit that isn't TOO outrageous on your side, so the less outrageous shit doesn't seem so nuts. Ann Coulter, that batshit insane Uniparty shill, infamously claimed to want to kill all the Muslim men in the West and put their children in Christian Orphanages. This set up the left to pity Muslims forever (fucking over the West forever) but also made the "Axis of Evil" speech and war look a whole lot less insane. And all it cost Ann was a few columns in some newspapers she wasn't getting renewed in anyway.

The other half of the game is to pretend there's no difference between anyone to the right of Mao and a 1488, asian girl dating, race war nao, /pol/tard ranting about the evils of the jews constantly. There are some things that will ALWAYS be outside the overton window, barring some form of massive, massive cultural shift that will fundamentally change everything we know. White Supremacy / White Nationalism is one of these anchor points -- barring some MASSIVE shift, the only "white" ethnostate allowed to exist will be Israel. They become "anchor points" where the overton window will always be framed by.

If you tie something else to those anchor points, like civic nationalism, by calling literally fucking everyone Nazis and Fascists.... Then a funny thing happens. Well first, the anchor is never pulled into the frame -- they're anchor points, they don't move. But the things you tie to it get dragged partially or completely out of the window -- the realm of acceptable ideas to talk about, or even think about. "We can't talk about National Populism, that's Nazi talk, the purple haired she twinks don't like it and will call us names if we do." But more importantly, because the Overton Window is a range of acceptable shit on both the right and the left, once you shove some of the stuff on the right out of the realm of even acceptable discourse, some fringe batshit on the left is pulled into the frame.

So maybe now the idiots ranting about killing whitey and openly discriminating against white men -- you know, to make up for white men doing the same thing, to make things "fair" -- slide partially into the frame. Maybe your UHURU, YA'LLs become less electoral poison to your side, and more zany fringe characters under the big tent: Not seriously getting power, but we're not shooing out the clowns just yet.

Maybe in your secret enclaves, like your USAID offices, you start approving batshit insane things, because now they're merely kinda zany instead of outright obvious electoral poison. To you, at least.

That is what the left has been doing since at least the 90s.
It's the system they lost control of when Tumblr broke containment about 15 years ago and all the unmoderated lefty midwits spread everywhere else overnight, chasing the unlimited free (child) porn they were denied. We're finally seeing the frame snap back as they lose control of the cultural engineering levers. This has other names -- the pendulum swinging back, for example.

The important thing for the right to do at this point is to ensure certain basic righty values are firmly in the center of the frame -- nationalism, civic virtue, meritocracy, free speech, et cetera. The left will eventually grab those levers again, and probably sooner than anyone thinks since they have the systems in place to set up this kind of cultural engineering operation. Once they do it'll be right back to anyone to the left of Mao suddenly being the most evil nazi that ever nazi'd.

That + “the classroom is private! Parents, please don’t pay attention to what we’re telling your kids” was one of my favorite parts of Covid. The teachers shot themselves in the foot
 
"School choice" is retarded as hell.

People understood this in the 1800s and successfully fought against school choice. What will happen is that papists, mormons, every religious group, and crooked capitalists will abuse the school choice system, eventually creating loads of new corruption, as well as civic erosion, and conflicts not seen in centuries.

There should be one public school option for everyone, and people should have the freedom to private school or homeschool, but the latter should NEVER EVER receive government funds.

School choice is like a leukemia developing in the bones of America.
I received an alternative education, and many have regarded me as far smarter than my peers. Since I avoided the plight of public schools, I didn’t contract a myriad of mental health issues, develop political brainrot, or foster a disdain for education. I’m thriving, while many from public schools can barely function as adults.

Freedom of educational choice is integral to American freedom, and saying otherwise is antithetical to our nation’s founding principles.

On behalf of all those who attended private schools or homeschools, I say this: Please, kill yourself.

So. How many kids have you raped and gotten away with it?

I might be overly optimistic, but much like the NPC meme, I believe only certain people are susceptible to the public school indoctrination.

Not only did I attend public school, I attended it in southern California of all places. During the Bush and Obama eras. And never one did I fall for any of their bullshit.
 
closing schools was the biggest self-own the teacher's unions ever made
I've thought for a long time that a 10 year old could literally teach a High School chemistry class just as well as a teacher in today's public school system.

The 10 year old wouldn't need to have any actual knowledge of the subject, he'd just read whatever the preprepared lesson plan is that's read to all classes of that grade level on that day everywhere in the country, tell them to read the assigned pages of the textbook, tell them to pass down the preprepared assignment sheet that's the same every year on that day in that class, and when the High school seniors turn in their completed work sheets to their 10 year old teacher, luckily for him, he doesn't even need to KNOW the answers to grade either, he has an answer key that tells him what all the correct answers are, so he can just check every sheet against the answer key and grade them just as accurately as any 48 year old with a Masters Degree.

At no point in this automated process is the teacher ever required to have any grasp of the subject, hence how teachers with wildly different degrees can easily fill in for each other, like an English teacher taking over math class. Why do you think we have so many retarded teachers? And the system is made this way on purpose BECAUSE the teachers are retarded and would grade the papers wrong if they didn't have all the thinking already done for them.

Then they're surprised that it's easier and more efficient to just send kids to a website that dispenses reading and work sheets and grades automatically, rather than skyping into the kitchen of a bluehaired retard with a nose ring and a fag flag behind her, probably still in her bath robe, tattoo on her fat thigh showing, so she can bitch about "intersectional feminism" or whatever for an hour to a bunch of 3rd graders ostensibly tuning in to math class!

Chicken breasts are a fairly good budget meat to get. I think you can even air fry them. Get some frozen vegetables too and maybe some eggs, and you’re golden. (Rice is good for filler too, although brown rice has more nutritional value)

You sound like this:

We need to punish parents when their kids act like little niggers in class. District wide expulsion should be on the table.

Had a coworker's kid get expelled for selling vapes and he's back in a different high school a week later. If your child is expelled his options should be either GED or be forced to move.
