Education is a complicated issue that neither side of the aisle can fix by themselves.  

What you do in a wealthy suburban school may not work in the inner city.

Get the freaking Politians as far away as freaking possible and let educators make decisions.

Parents need to support their kids in education and allow them to grow and learn.  Don't protect them from the consequences of their actions or their learning.  They need to learn from them.

Realize that in certain situations, schools need to be the central part of the community and that might be expensive.  Meaning there might have to be medical and social services available at the school.  There may need to be plenty of after school activities to support the education of kids where families fail to provide the support.  Again, this may be expressive, but not needed everywhere.

Bring back and expand vocational education.

Kids that are capable of college, move them on.

There is not a one solution fix for education.

Fund what works, cut what doesn't.

Can we add a facepalm emoji to the list of reactions at the bottom right hand corner.  I seem to need it a lot.

Just for fun...If Trump basically can't run anymore, does JB bow out and all of a sudden we have 2 new people running in 24??

I was listening to some talking heads a few months ago about this, the Dem pollster said if Trump ever dropped out they would bring someone new in, because Biden does not poll well with the independents against basically anyone else.  

The thing that freaks me out is the country is so divided we could have chaos no matter who wins.

People are like if Trump wins I am leaving the US.

Others, if Biden wins I am leaving the US.

I am like because these 2 dudes and going run again, I am out!

But seriously, how long until one of them falls and breaks a hip!

Hell to the no!

LeBron trains at the WWE performance center in the off season.

Last summer he got student of the month.

First step of telling the NCAA to screw themselves.

Everything he said is 100% true.  NCAA is a limp d!(k organization that only has themselves to blame.  Quit chasing problems and start leading.  I think that the B1G and the SEC (only ones that have the balls) should vote to leave the NCAA or sue them for negligence and failure to lead.  (not a lawyer, I am sure this makes zero sense, but I at least feel better having said it)

Hillary didn't take issues with the union workers in Michigan seriously and it cost her.

Biden has issues in Michigan with Muslims and Arabs.   What will Biden do?

I will take not what to say entering the B1G for $100

This comes up a lot.

 

I think she is wildly popular (except for that stupid school lunch program) but has she ever really even hinted about running for office?

I don't think so, but is she waiting for the Senile Insanity to be over before plotting?  2028?

Dang, modern warfare.

Western Money spent to deplete Russia's money, which will eventually deplete China's money.

In a hypothetical they both die in the next few months...

Who would the nominees be??  I guess from the R side either Haley or Desantis?  From the D side?  My guess is Michelle Obama.

I think my the people in my circle are depressed that it is Biden-Trump again.  My guess is people around me are about 50/50 Biden-Trump.  I will vote for neither.

Very good article here by The Atlantic on why our politics are so polarized. Really, read it.

Couldn't get all of it, but, yes.  All people do is work to scare the crap out of people.  You longer are voting for anything, just against it.  God forbid we apply the third option in the country.  That is, let's start with things we all agree on.

Babylon Bee is doing a parody on the GOP Taylor Swift conspiracy.  

The GOP is now a parody target of the Babylon Bee.  Doesn't happen too often.

I think it happens quite a bit.  I’d say at least once a year my middle school gets a tip that law enforcement looks into.  Thankfully none have been found to be serious threats.

I believe this is true

Fun haters.  This makes no sense.

 

 

They don't want them to have a reason to look up from their phone.'

They announced this a few weeks ago in Ohio.  Dumb.

Why do they hate her? Is it because she has a song about not hating gay people?

I really think it is because she is a pop superstar that has entered their realm.  I think they would just like it to be focused on the game.  For the NFL, it means $$$.  New fans.  Same for networks.  I just don't get the hate.

I am a dad, an uncle and a brother to mega Swift fans.  I honestly stopped going gaga for celebrities a while ago.  I understand it though, and don't care.

agreed.  He clearly doesn't believe in Pro-life issue as demonstrated by quotes attributed to hm by administration members and behind close doors he mocks evangelicals. He does & says whatever it takes to put him on top.  If those were Democratic issues - he'd be a Dem today. 

He's an opportunist  and a Statist and a nutjob .  

Trump-Clinton 2016 made me look at where I fall on the political spectrum.  I took several quizzes.  It came back that I am a right leaning Libertarian.  Trump was a Right leaning Statist.  Clinton was a left leaning statist.  The difference between them policy wise was actually not that big.  Or Bigly.
