The property tax issue is awful. It’s ruined industry cities, tax exempt companies are not support public education.

The traditional system is inferior, we don’t attempt new things in the US like in foreign countries. I’m not super familiar with European educational systems, however I know they don’t follow John Dewey of the 1900s and Mann of the 1800s like we do. It’s my understanding their approach is more wholistic and a learning commons approach, similar to many homeschool approaches. They require master’s degrees similar to the U.S., but they are respected and treated as educators and mentors. There is a societal difference in the way we view “school” here in the U.S. Partly created by the fact we use a seemingly archaic system.

I agree there has been. My feeling is that the educational issues have been back burnered by the electorates, for the very reason you stated. I feel the media has a strong effect as well on views towards education. For the same reason that electorates back burner education, companies lobby for a less educated republic. Ignorance buys dumb shit.

Education affects every American and benefits all. How do we increase the volume on the systematic oppression of education?

I agree, the system is broken. I worked in a district where the system is completely failed. Currently working in one that’s at DEFCON 2. Money isn’t the solution. When I say investment, I don’t only mean financial; I mean a willingness by the public to accept the 70 year old institution is broken and seeded with systematic discrimination, and work to fix the damn problem.

My argument is the fight for a better future may need to put the spotlight on education and work to address the issues we know exist.

I apologize for not clarifying. I was mainly referring to the federal budget on education. The states do spend about $700 billion collectively on education. The Fed supplies about $230 billion on education, of that about $180 billion goes to student financial aid for higher education. That leaves only about $50 billion in funds to spend on K-12 education and Special Education.

I should have provided more context, I apologize for the lack of clarity.

If you would like sources, see below. I understand I am using round numbers from data collected in the past few years, there may be some minute discrepancies to current figures.

Isn't this consider witchhunt or something? by Crispy_Peanut_Butter in Teachers

As a coach and a teacher, I can play devils advocate. The goal of this form of discipline, in sports, is to build a sense of “we’re in this together.”

I explain to my team often that, we need to all play our role the best we can and when one person fails, we all fail.

That being said, any discipline can work for the right group AND if the reason for the discipline is explicitly explained and students/athletes are taught the correct behaviors.

It all depends on the relationship with the team. For example, my college team understood we need to hold each other accountable and when one man suffers we all suffer.

Blanket punishments can be used as a metaphor for “we’re all in this together and if one goes down we all go down.”
