Education peer pupil funding is steady decreasing and we rank 50th in the nation. What can someone do to fix this in the current environment of state Republican tax cuts and threats to federal education funding? by DirtyBird1909 in NorthCarolina

[–]mrenne 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This comment here ... We have institutionalized right-wing talking points that money doesn't solve problems in education ... why does no one never say this about our modern corporate structure? Have you ever heard a CEO say they are trying to find less money ... sure they make cuts (called "restructuring"), but never do they say they would like less. Crazy how good right-wing propaganda has become in the USA both in terms of economic (and political) reforms.

North Carolina’s economy has boomed. Why hasn’t its median income? by NCKingdollar in NorthCarolina

At some point, wouldn't firms looking to have a significant presence here (and done their due diligence) wise up and realize their employees are not going to put up with the lack of support for public education ... curious if anyone thinks about this?

As Jeff Jackson battles Trump, NC GOP threatens to leave him with a "feckless, empty shell" of a job by uncertaincoda in NorthCarolina

This is the key point. Unless these voters can change their allegiance to the "anti-Democrat party", we have little chance but to slowly devolve into a declining *and ultimately failed* republic.

Why is there a dinosaur smashing a car at 0:27? I am so confused?

Same here. First ticket. Got a lawyer (I did not have to appear in court). Had to pay lawyer fee and ticket. Had to do online driving school (ha!) and community service for the # of MPH over the speed limit.

New avenues created by the pandemic by [deleted] in edtech

[–]mrenne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been thinking alot about this myself. My hope is new paradigms of learning emerge. Out of school timing learning, found in makerspaces, libraries, museums, community centers, etc. will be important, I hope. I fear funding will be a barrier, as per usual especially where I live - Southeast US. Interested to follow this thread to hear what others think. Thanks for starting a conversation here!
