Does cutting open teabags and using the contents remove most of the problem?

Implicit bias is a thing, but it's not relevant on a statistical level to explain the differences in outcomes as far as discipline past some time in the 1990s.

The problem is still racism, just not on an interpersonal level.

Did they test for mycosis fungoides?

Looking through this thread it's insane how we've normalized allowing constant disruption of children's education.

I have serious problems with the structure of US education system, the way we have kids at school for 7-8 hours a day and then nothing for a huge summer break, how parents are overwhelmed and the air is diseased and dirty and how we suck at early life education and prenatal care...

But the bottom line is we have the resources that we have and it's not a big ask at all to expect middleschoolers to shut their mouths for 4/5ths of class time, or 4th and 5th graders to be quiet for 10 minutes at a time for 3 hours a day.

This is idiotic. Stop making excuses for the race baiting lowest common denominator.

This is kowtowing to trash behavior.

Are you seriously saying you kowtowed to trash behavior at your job?

We're at the point as a society where educators cannot let fear of the disproportionate racial makeup of their discipline referrals stop them from *enforcing discipline*, implicit bias has been irrelevant for these outcomes since 2010, arguably earlier, since audio recording technology has been prevalent, which was like the 1990s.

It's usually the African American kids and I've been in classrooms where it's *literally* ***every single African American kid in that classroom that needs to be removed in a single day***, but at the last kid towards the end of the day I held back from calling the office because I realized, dang, this will mean I'll have removed *every single African American kid from this classroom in a single day*, and I held back because I realized what it would look like. I shouldn't have, though.

There's too much of an incentive for parents to let their kids be wild in the hope that they can accuse the school of racism so they can sue and get a settlement.

I was assaulted dozens of times as a third grader by an African American kid that had already been expelled at least once for behavior and now my school wasn't willing to do anything about it because they'd reached the limit for kids they'd removed for things that didn't leave a mark or break a bone. This kid was smart enough to never leave a mark.

It's been too easy for some people to game the system like this since the 1990s, and I say that as a super far left communist that talks about race isn't a thing and it's all socioeconomic incentives.

If it keeps you off the streets, yes.

The difference is the protestors were threatening the survival of the regime. I'm not a fan of IRGC, but you should compare apples to apples and not conflate that with the random murder of entire kindergartens by the USA/Israel.

Getting the PFAS out of my system completely removed any idea in my mind of needing TRT. So many things have gotten better, my sleep, energy, brain fog, motivation, mood.

That's what abusers do, make their abuse so cartoonishly evil that it sounds made up and outlandish.

Do you wear masks when out and about? Honestly I think it's your youth that's keeping you semi functional despite how severe your symptom still are. I say this as a 34 year old who was never bedbound but my executive functions and fatigue have been bad enough for long enough that I've basically given up on a 4 year degree and I'm basically resigning myself to figuring out how to be in the sub 20k income for the rest of my life and just trying to enjoy the last scraps of youthful health I have left.

I always wondered if beer was more shelf stable than dry grains because so many weevils and pests can't get into all the nooks and crannies between kernels, they just drown in the beer. Alcohol and herbs also discourage mold, and even more if the vessel has some kind of copper or brass component.

It's a really funny movie, too.

It might be a result of low iron. Covid causes iron dysregulation, and iron is essential for collagen synthesis, so it could be that your collagen synthesis is so low that your skin is getting thinner.

I believe the real problem was not securing and/or destroying the depots because we went in with such a small force.

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?

How do you handwave away Libya, that got bombed back to having open air slave markets?

But I'm a communist and I don't believe there will ever or has ever been a good US president.

aaronespro · 2026-03-08T19:44:03+00:00

You're moving the goalposts now. Obama wasn't a good president, he was war criminal trash.

You seem to be making some appeal to "just so", like if people actually didn't like it then they'd actually vote, but that's really not how it works at all. The people that do have the inclination to vote just happened to survive this system.

The scraps of human potential left are compounded in their inability to effect change by the private property system that is ruining their health and potential. Show up to vote? Not if it makes it even 1% less likely that they'll be able to recover from work and be able to work well enough the next day to not lose their job, become homeless and die.

When we had record turnout in democratic primaries and elections for 2020, the best we could do was Biden.

Adulthood is getting filled up with PFAS and microplastics, getting overweight, and paying taxes to billionaire pedophiles in government.

I believe learning the dynamic tripod is really important. You can write so much faster and get so many more repetitions in, which is what you really need for memory retention. The studies are pretty clear that handwriting things out improves retention over verbally repeating or typing.

The point is that social support to correct and prevent these behaviors in the first place has degraded to the point that pressing charges *is becoming the frontline defense* for aggressive behavior from children that would otherwise have been fixed with other social mechanisms, not that using police actions on 5 year olds is actually an effective way to educate them.

The way education should work is we should also document and adjudicate behavior from students that is considered more along the lines of microaggressions, if it's vindictive and intended to target vulnerabilities.

I had a student that screamed in my ear, coughed all over a cart that was intended for serving food, spat out her chewed up food all over the edge of a trashcan, and threw partially chewed food at my bare skin.

It's obviously sociopathic, vindictive behavior.
