SCIENCE DUDE, I give you a lot of grief on here, (rightfully deserved) but you are probably an ok dude, just fell for the lefty propaganda.

Hope one day you open your mind and eyes, amd see what the real problems are. It ain't the religious right anymore, those nuts had their heyday in the late 80's early 90's, when everything was 'satanic' and what not.

The real problem now is woke-ism, amd the radical left. And its infiltration into ALL of our institutions. Government, corporations, education, pop culture. Everywhere. It's vile, sick, and disgusting, and pretty much racist as hell.
 
Lol, no. So I guess every country who is patriotic and displays their flags and loves their country are also "fascist". Hahahaha

Your party ideologies are actually fascist.
Just when you think the left on here cannot get any dumber, they one-up themselves.

We're supposed to believe the leader of the national socialist party wasnt a socialist??? Oh, he was a national socialist like bernie. Ok, makes sense.

Only an uneducated moron would try to claim Hitler was a socialist. When he took power he banned all trade unions and had everyone killed that tried to persuade him to use socialist policies.

“Your socialism is Marxism pure and simple. You see, the great mass of workers only wants bread and circuses. Ideas are not accessible to them and we cannot hope to win them over. We attach ourselves to the fringe, the race of lords, which did not grow through a miserabilist doctrine and knows by the virtue of its own character that it is called to rule, and rule without weakness over the masses of beings.”
“Our great heads of industry are not concerned with the accumulation of wealth and the good life, rather they are concerned with responsibility and power. They have acquired this right by natural selection: they are members of the higher race. But you would surround them with a council of incompetents, who have no notion of anything. No economic leader can accept that.”
“Of course. Do you think I’m stupid enough to destroy the economy? The state will only intervene if people do not act in the interest of the nation. There is no need for dispossession or participation in all the decisions. The state will intervene strongly when it must, pushed by superior motives, without regards to particular interests.”
Doesn't matter if they were, it's the same tune every time from you: "real socialism hasn't been tried yet" he did what yall love most tho: build muh roads

Remember when you claimed Elon musk was a socialist....lololololololololollol

As far as commie countries, everyone has folded pretty much and have atleast some sort of mixed economy the complete opposite of ole Karl's claims
 
Amd how many actual hours a day does a teacher work?

In a six hour elementary school day, I had 2 hour long planning periods and a half hour lunch. Not to mention all the days off. Summer break, winter (christmas) break, all holidays, pta days, snow days, etc, ad nauseum.

And these part time workers act like they are woefully overworked and underpaid. It's a joke, buddy. The whole profession is.
You're so FOS. Most Elementary teachers in Kentucky didn't even get a plan time guaranteed until a few years ago when they were given 24 minutes a day.
NOBODY gets 2 hour long planning periods unless you serve as an athletic director or similar position at a high school. I've never had more than an hour plan and 22-30 minute lunch in my life. That lunch time also includes walking kids to/from cafeteria and lining them up.... essentially it's 15-25 minutes most days.
It's also more like a 7 hour day by contract. Most schools require having to arrive 20-30 minutes prior to homeroom (ten minutes before students arrive) and not leave until all buses depart.
If you only logged 6 hours you musta been one of those deadbeat teachers that showed up after kids were in the building and beat the buses out the door. I worked with 4 or 5 clowns like you over my 32 years. Nobody liked them.

Another item from dod training a year or two ago, i asked, "so, we are saying certain people are racist BECAUSE of the color of their skin?"

Again, blank stares...
 
I will take one for the team in this case.

I would take two, but I am sure it would would result in death.

Screw it, send me two. If one of them succumbs, I will still be happy.
I just got confirmation the adoption of the Ukrainian Twins was approved.

I was told they are 18 and very grateful. ;)

Then things went South. Victor and Vladimir. 🤬

Not sure where you’ve worked but I can say as someone who was in the classroom 13 years before becoming a consultant that you didn’t do your job. 2 hours planning and a 30 minute lunch? I’ve never heard that in my life. You should have stayed with that much overpay for such little work. Good teachers work more unpaid time than any other profession. My wife plans, grades papers, and does other tasks at least 3 more hours per day than her required class time, not to mention weekends. She doesn’t even have time to eat because during her 20 minute lunch, she’s making copies or doing paperwork. I used to do the same when I taught l, as do many of her colleagues. As a conservative, I get it. Colleges are full of indoctrination. Public and Private schools in liberal strongholds are as well. But the majority of schools throughout the US are not like that. Just like there are no liberal states, only cities, the trend follows with education. Political ideologies don’t fly outside of liberal areas. They have much more to worry about. The Tristate area I do my consulting is overwhelming conservative and I see no such things. The only reason there aren’t more conservative teachers is the pay to required education ratio. Schools end up having to fill spots by using programs like Teach America where liberal teachers who can’t find a job try to come and get their loans paid for. They usually don’t make a second contract. If anything, we should be pushing conservatives towards the education field instead of away from it.
Spot on. I get so sick of hearing the non stop teacher bashing and repeating of right wing propaganda that all the teachers and public schools are teaching critical race theory, gay pride, and indoctrinating kids.
I've worked in public schools in Ky for 32 years and NEVER seen anything of the like. We were always too damn busy to even think about all that nonsense.
We tried to teach kids the state approved curriculum, how to treat others with respect even if they are different from you and how to be a good citizen.
We said the Pledge every morning and had Fellowship of Christian Athlete meetings once a week before the school day.
The right wing has decided over the last decade that teachers are now the enemy of the state. Sadly, this is eerily similar to other countries like modern day Afghanistan and pre WW2 Nazi Germany. If you know your history....it's a piss poor sign of the future of our nation.
When you mix the far right assault on education with the far left assault on our police you end up with a poorly educated society with a high crime rate. Think it's bad now....give it another decade at this rate. We will be a third world country with a Gucci belt.

That shouldn't be met with blank stares but more education. Since that's what you were there to supposedly receive. 'White' people aren't born any more racist than anyone else. But if you're a member of the majority in a given society things are slanted in your direction such that you both directly and indirectly benefit from just being part of the in-group and often otherize anything outside of that. It's a heck of a lot better to be Han Chinese in China than to be a Uyghur. Neither of those groups are 'white'.

Are teachers the only ppl that work more than their hours? Lol.

I'm out here every evening logging data and running reports and you're crying you had to grade papers at home or buy a pack of markers
 
So what's the over under on murders in Louisville this year? I think 220 is a good point. 188 murders in 2021 and the city seems hell bent to do nothing about it but it make it worse.

Not comparing jobs. The point is that you don't have to listen to clowns on Fox, right wing radio stations, social media and people on this message board tell you every day that you suck....all the people that do your job suck....you don't deserve what little income you get because you don't work much....you are hurting children and indoctrinating them....you are the reason kids get sexually abused (Bevin).....
and you don't need your pension even if you don't get social security.
The hatred and vitriole towards the profession is out of control. The kids don't wanna learn anymore either and discipline is out of control as well. These kids hear all this outside and inside the home. Many have lost all respect for teachers and following the rules in school. Why should they listen to those lazy, stupid, good for nothing teachers???
Same thing is happening in our society to our cops. A good chunk thinks the same about cops so why listen to them or follow the laws?? You see it every day on Tik Tok or YouTube.
You'd see the same thing in schools if we were allowed to video our classes and post it.
The right trashes our teachers....the left trashes our cops. Good luck living in that society fools.

If you're logging data and running reports on your own time your employer is stealing time from you. And if your argument is "teachers should stop complaining because everyone works more hours than they're paid for" then congratulations you just realized the entire system needs reform.

And no one should be expected to spend their personal money to do their job. If education is publicly funded teachers should not be spending one dime on the supplies they need for their classroom. Just like you shouldn't be expected to spend one dime on anything your employer requires of you to do your job.

Good lord, Dion. You constantly harp on the 'man'. What, may I ask, is your profession? You can be vague, even though no one here is into doxxing people except lefties.

Go work for yourself, make your own money, and stop worrying about every perceived societal ill that your Marxist brain sees. You can't cure the world, no matter how much you wish it to be so. And your 'cure', is WAY worse than the disease anyway.

Dude, have you ever seen the back to school lists teachers send out? Those things read like a Walmart inventory sheet. No teachers are out buying markers or pencils for their classes, that's garbage. And if they do, hopefully they are clever enough to write it all off come tax time.
I don't know, met plenty of teachers without the common sense God gave a parakeet, so maybe they don't know about this thing called the 'teacher supply closet'. If there is a shortage of supplies, generally it's because so many teachers et al steal all the supplies for their personal use. Seen it, hoss.

Well man, it wasnt an education, it is an attempted indoctrination. The point, which sounds like it blew past you, is no one is racist BECAUSE of the color of their skin. And to make such a claim, is a wholly racist comment. Yet leadership is so unaware, it would be humorous if it wasnt so dangerous.

You cannot satire this idiocy.

I think the issue is people see what’s going on in the college ranks and believe it is trickling down. I’m sure it does in some cases, but it’s not the norm, at least in Kentucky, Tennessee, and most of VA. There are between 3.5 to 4 million teachers in the US. If it was so common, we’d be blitzed with 24/7 news stories on every conservative platform. Instead, we only hear of a handful every few days and they’re all from liberal strongholds. Like you said, it’s similar to the defund the police movement. Growing up, I never knew or cared who my teachers voted for. I didn’t even know if they had spouses. Most kids still have no idea and don’t care to. Nowadays, if they thought you were cons/lib then they’d act the opposite to try and make you mad. I believe most people have no idea how a school operates or what curriculum is taught, which is why I encourage all parents to take part in being involved with the schools and attend school board meetings. There are bad teachers, just like bad doctors, nurses, or cops. But for the most part, they just want to teach state standards, have their kids succeed, And make sure the kids don’t live in an abusive home. Heck my wife’s school is a great school, and they have to watch the bathrooms all day because kids are destroying property to get likes on TikTok.

I can assure you your experiences cannot be applied across the entire country. Teachers certainly need to buy supplies for their own classrooms, especially in low income districts. I believe the tax write off for supplies is capped at $250, but it's not like writing that off gets you your money back. You're saving like $50 in taxes if you write off the full $250. You're still spending you own personal money. And if no teachers needed to spend their own money on supplies that tax deduction wouldn't exist. But it does, so that should tell you it's a common enough occurrence.

Lol some of us want to move up. If you view your work as labor I suppose...if you actually enjoy your job you're doing great at it. Go work in a factory where you punch a clock if that's your view

Nope. If you must know I'm a 34 year old self employed consultant. I just think people should be fully compensated for their work. Nobody owes their employer anything, because when the rubber meets the road they won't be looking out for you.

Some on the far left do go too far with the anti-cop rhetoric. You're seeing anti-law enforcement sentiment across the political spectrum these days though. The right wasn't all "Thin Blue Line!" on Jan 6th. It's the damn War on Drugs. Most of the country does or has smoked weed. It shouldn't be a crime. If cops were hunting down burglars and rapists the public would be behind them. We're not burglars or rapists. But our only interactions with police are negative because a large swath of the population are considered criminals just for smoking a plant.
