teachercd Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 The idea of investing in things that you only 100% believe in and that 100% do everything right is very nice and very noble but for the most part is not realistic. I think those students know that they are just using it as their rally cry right now, which I get, they have no other leg to stand on. 1 1 Link to comment
Archy1221 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Going to college graduation next week for #2. Done in 3 years, no debt, worked his full time finance job (salary, 401k, benefits, etc) his entire third year. So thankful I’m experiencing this vs the above. And yes, I do think the parenting aspect plays a big part early on, then it’s up to the kid at some point. 1 Link to comment

I think she is more just upset and sad...not so much angry with the suspension. I was going to post the other day that a lot of these protesters are probably 2020 HS grads, Covid grads...What we (they) did to those kids was criminal. I think we are seeing and will see some long lasting effects from that school shutdown. 1 1 Link to comment

Then, it’s parents being good role models. Even then, kids can go astray, but at least you gave them the best chance. So, you done good. Link to comment

They had an extra couple months of summer. Seniors in 2020 were most likely in senioritis mode anyway by spring break. Quit giving kids excuses for being dumb! 1 Link to comment

I guess I don't really see it as an excuse but just a reason. Those seniors were beyond coddled because of covid. Passing kids left and right, giving grades that none of them really deserved, everyone got into college that year That Betts kid from Bell West was not even going to graduate HS let alone get into college but "covid" changed that. It was not really the kids fault it was the idiot adults. 2 1 Link to comment
nic Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/05/pro-palestinian-protests-columbia-university-funding-donors-00156135 Is politico on the right or left? I have been asking were the funding is coming from for these protests. If this was Fox I would expect this answer. If politico is on the left, I guess they are saying these protests are counter productive to Biden's reelection, so why are his backers funding them? "President Joe Biden has been dogged for months by pro-Palestinian protesters calling him “Genocide Joe” — but some of the groups behind the demonstrations receive financial backing from philanthropists pushing hard for his reelection. The donors include some of the biggest names in Democratic circles: Soros, Rockefeller and Pritzker, according to a POLITICO analysis." 2 1 Link to comment
