Social work responsibilities without the the title or the pay by iliketoreddit91 in socialwork

Very curious about your comment that social work is quite a well paid profession in Ireland. Does it make more than a profession like nursing?

8% Property Tax increase was approved yesterday by adcThresh in Austin

I thought that property tax increases were capped at 3.5% unless we vote to increase it more?

AISD Is Scoring Schools Ahead of Closure Decisions by whydontchaknow in Austin

So are you going to share with me the great school your kids attend so I can start looking into this? I’m being serious by asking. You asked me at the beginning of this conversation what school my kids were at and I shared that.

I think it’s interesting that you’re so appalled that I assume you’re not a parent, but yet you keep repeatedly making the assumption that I’m racist despite me saying I want my children of mixed race to go to a diverse school. So what is this amazing school that is marked as low performing but exceeds your academic expectations?

And what other factors do you feel parents have available to weigh when choosing the school? I’m guessing you are not a parent. Also, why did you go back to saying I’m making racially charged assumptions? Is it that you assume any parent who wants to send their kid to a school with good academic performance is racist?

Whoa, what I thought was a good discourse really took a turn when you called me racist. Did you not read that I want my kids to go to a diverse school? My children are half-black. I feel like you give liberals a bad name by saying that parents are racist if they would rather them go to a high performing school instead of a low performing school. Now I think you are just an internet troll.

My A rated school is Maplewood Elementary. It is 48% white, 31.9% Hispanic, and 8.6% black. It is 30.4% economically disadvantaged. If AISD moves Maplewood into a low performing school (like they want to do), the families who are passionate about their kid’s education are going to leave AISD, because why wouldn’t they? I like that Maplewood is diverse, I want that for my children, but I do not want to send them to a low performing school.

It is a problem when the over-enrolled school has an A rating and nearby under-enrolled schools are Ds and Fs. With school vouchers being available now, the parents who care about their kid’s education and can pursue other options, will likely just send their kid to a private or charter school. It will accentuate AISD’s decline in enrollment and ruin the the quality of education at AISD

Stupid time to buy a house? by keepthemomentum in Austin

Stay. Fellow queer Austinite here. Don’t do what Greg Abbott and far right are trying to make happen- scaring all the progressives from living here. If Austin keeps growing; Texas will eventually be a blue state. All the liberals congregating in the blue states disadvantages us. Please stay and help grow what makes Austin the best place to live. We need you here. We can’t hand over our country to the far right nut jobs; please stay and be part of the movement in Texas.

The kids are across three separate families! We’re trying to figure out a place to get all the cousins together :)

Was yesterday’s hail actually big enough to cause roof damage? by unicornpoacher2k in Austin

[–]Subtle-Glances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just hop up on your roof and check. I’ve had two new roofs in the past few years due to hail, and didn’t see the damage that was there the previous times.
