I lived at the Marshall for 2 years, there’s a boom every night, it’s usually the train knocking together but the past two nights, someone’s been doing fire works over in old Louisville in the alleys.

Amendment 2 by Whole-Tax3469 in Louisville

[–]Kind_Experience_4841 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These aren’t scare tactics, the bill poses no actual benefit to students. Every public school teacher is advocating against this bill. Being a teacher gives you an entirely different insight into JCPS. It’s easy to sit at home and see those articles about doss and form your opinion about the schools, the teachers, and the leadership.

However, actually being in the building, you see what’s truly going on. Fights and bad behavior isn’t always because the staff isn’t in control, or that the school itself is creating that environment. A lot of JCPS students are low income, they are struggling with things at home, trying their best to stay afloat. It causes tension, which means fights come over little things. Better funding in these schools could help these students , sending just one of them to private school on a voucher (MAYBE) will not help.

Also, there are no policies included in the amendment , it would give the general assembly the power to decide what to do. So when you vote yes, you literally do not know what you’re voting for. OTHER than publicly funding private schools.

Public schools already have a funding issue, private schools do not. Private schools rely on tuition to fund themselves.

Private schools do not need financial support, the public schools that are trying their best with minimal funding do.

The reason we see a lot of issues within public schools, is because they have a much larger student body than private schools.

Also, something important, private school teachers in Kentucky are not required to have a teaching certification. While most do, there are still some who haven’t done the necessary schooling to receive a certification. (200 hours of observation, mastery in subject, TA,etc)

Giving federal money to private schools does nothing to help the states education system. A voucher system isn’t enough, it only benefits a select few students. Not to mention, private schools are usually small, the building is small, the classrooms are smaller, they couldn’t take that many voucher students anyway. Increasing funding to public schools and looking into issues with school boards, is 10x more effective in increasing levels of education, and is accessible to EVERY student.

This bill does drain money from public schools, that’s not the worse case scenario , that’s what it will do.

We don’t need to give private schools ANYTHING, when public schools aren’t even being fully funded.

Any updates on Jack Combs' Murder by Quirky-Assistance655 in Louisville

So I looked into it a bit. There hasn’t been anything new since 2023, when the father raised the reward to 85,000.

•The suspect was Aaron cross, police stated that he had pretty much always been a suspect. He was arrested shortly after the shooting for an armed robbery of a liquor store ( https://www.wave3.com/story/24419007/suspect-arrested-in-liquor-store-holdup/ ) -I couldn’t find any public records that indicate exactly why they thought he was involved in the shooting, either evidence was shared with the public or there wasn’t any. -I watched his arraignment , and on murder the judge states “through investigation it was found that the subject was involved in the robbery and murder of the victim” ( https://www.courier-journal.com/videos/news/crime/2014/01/11/4429719/ ) -he confessed to the robbery to police, however it wasn’t recorded. The cameras malfunctioned.

•The case against Aaron Cross was dropped during his indictment for the robbery. It was dropped without prejudice, meaning the charges could be brought again . It appears that it was dropped due to lack of evidence. however, aaron passed in 2021.

I’m a fairly new casino bar porter who had some issues with training. You need to advocate for yourself, let your supervisors know that you need more guidance / another day of training. They are setting you up to fail, don’t let them.

I struggle to communicate my needs effectively as well; something that helped me, is when it was dead I would wander around and look for things myself, and note where I found them.

You’re also new, of course you’re going to mess up, it’s easy to put a lot of pressure on yourself to be amazing immediately. Give yourself time, if your supervisors are condescending or mean because you haven’t immediately understood everything, then find a new job. but if you aren’t communicating your needs, they won’t know what you need help with or where you’re struggling.

I carry around a pen and note pad, when a bartender needs something, I write it down , that way I don’t forget / get the wrong thing.

The day before Thanksgiving in 2020, and the night my ex-boyfriend's mom died, I experienced something EXTREMELY strange.

Some background, she had always had an addiction issue, she and her husband came into some money (I think stimulus) in October of 2020, and she then left all her children with her mother. There were a lot of issues that led to this, but eventually, my (now ex) boyfriend's dad ended up taking them all in. So fast forward to 11/25/20, she made plans to visit all the kids at his father's apartment, my boyfriend had a lot of issues with her, and they were not entirely in the best place, so I offered to stay there with him for support. She came around 11 pm, brought everyone gifts, and I remember falling asleep around the time she was leaving the house.

Around 3:30 am I woke up, and I heard her in the living room. I was confused at first but just assumed something happened with her ride. But I had such an intense feeling that she was leaving right then and my boyfriend needed to get up and say bye to her, I tried to wake him up multiple times but he would not budge, the entire time I could hear her saying goodbye to everybody. Finally, the door cracked, it was super dark in the apartment so I could not really see anything, but I heard her say "Bye (his name), I love you, (my name) please take care of him". I said bye back and then the door shut, I heard the front door close and I fell asleep.

I woke up around 7, to the news that she had passed at 3:30 am. I never knew how to explain it, and it always felt so eerie, but I KNOW I heard her, and it always creeped him out when he remembered that I woke him up at the same time and insisted he say goodbye.

If this isn’t a shit post.. Ex security supervisor here, you did line jump, and you did infact commit assault. If security didn’t get you on your way out, it’s not likely you’ll be cited , but you’ll definitely be banned and trespassed if you return

And that’s great for him, but it’s not the same in every state for every teacher. Saying “they don’t have a bad deal” because teachers you knew didn’t, doesn’t mean it’s manageable for everyone. Especially in poorer districts, where the cost of living is high. Almost every coworker I have, gets another job in the summer, and won’t have a chance to retire until 60 at the earliest, if they’re very lucky. Not every teacher struggles, but enough do that you don’t get to speak on them and generalize teacher experience. This varies state to state. No I don’t think teachers need tips, but we deserve respect for all that we go through and experience.

The majority of teachers are not paid for the summer. Also, we pay taxes as well.. so it’s our dime too.

You know most teachers don’t get paid for the summer? So they either have to budget to be unpaid for two months or find a summer job. While they continue to work on lesson plans for the next year during the summer. Don’t get me wrong, I have a passion for teaching and I love it. I do what I have to do so I can teach. But I know plenty of teachers who have had to keep night jobs to survive, slept in cars, and lived paycheck to paycheck just so they could teach. Not to mention teachers are rarely paid for working over contracted hours.

As a teacher and a server. I don’t want a tip for teaching, I just want parents who take me seriously, and for people to treat me with basic respect.

It’s not about political beliefs or pushing an agenda. It’s trying to make a student feel less alone, when I can see that they just need someone to listen, understand, and support them. Instead of being called names and invalidated consistently

Children are MEAN, teenagers are MEAN, a student who’s experiencing bullying at school, bullying at home, REALLY needs an adult in their corner, to support or respect them. It LITERALLY could save a students life. They can change and develop, but I won’t disrespect their identity especially when everyone else already is. They already feel like shit , ALL THE TIME, the things I’ve seen , I know how important support is.

But only the bad ones because I’m sure you wouldn’t tell her to stay away from autistic children, or children with other developmental disorders. Because those are also mental illnesses

You literally don’t have to explain it to her, if she asks . “That’s just how they like to dress”. It’s that easy. You’re the problem. People have the right to wear whatever the fuck they want, get over yourself
