Fyi... State Assessments may be predictive of future academic success, if only recent, biased studies are to be believed, but not based on 5 decades of data before now, nor are they predictive of success in life or careers.

There are many reasons they fail as a litmus test outside of narrow academic settings.

Some of the biggest reasons are that they don't teach to or measure adaptability, nor measure creativity in solving problems, or indicate any level of persistence in the face of adversity. They produce drones in other words that are meant to fit within a pegged system, rather than leaders who can solve critical problems and reason through tough situations and circumstances.

Public schools teach "to the test" and have done so for over 40 years. The narrow scope of this education is perfect for indoctrination rather than truly developing an independent, objective, and intelligent mind. It is easily manipulated by simple memorization, which takes little effort at all, but ideally suits someone just wanting a job instead of a career or entrepreneurship.

It is meant to churn out more hive minded people to make the colony grow, but once the colony becomes overcrowded there is a huge die off in terms of employable drones. That's where we are now. The system cannot sustain itself because of natural limits to production and usefulness of people who all perform the same function for too long.

Private schools do not "teach to the tests" because they are busy teaching reasoning and independent thought. Many are teaching the classical education model that gave us the enlightenment and industrial revolution, as well as the robust economy of this country before the 60s led to the destruction of education itself. The last people to be trained classically in public schools graduated in the early to mid 1980s, when several people I knew first hand began teaching. Things got much worse from there and rapidly.

Classical education values a well-rounded pursuit of knowledge that doesn't discount history, literature, and reason. It's a rigorous curriculum that isn't defined by dittos and scantron tests, but essays, reports, and papers/presentations starting in elementary school. The truth of private education is that not everyone that starts out in private schools can afford to continue through high school because of costs, location inconvenience, and extra-curricular limitations that put an economic strain on families already subsidizing public education as well.

If you exclude students who have attended private schools before the high school level, you will see a drop from the upper ranks of high school graduates and statist-preferred testing measurements. There are at least 3 schools in Lexington that I know of personally whose students take the assessments and on average perform more than 10-15% greater than the average of those one or two grades higher in public schools.

They don't need to publish the results because they don't need the marketing, and they know the classical approach is too rigorous for some to take on. It's definitely too expensive for most, but more so for those in lower income brackets without some sort of voucher system. But that's the idea behind preventing vouchers. It's to keep the lower income brackets from escaping that perpetual motion machine of poverty that has ZERO accountability.

Private school teachers that don't perform their jobs well get FIRED. Can't say that about public schools AT ALL.

Most of yall knew all of this, of course, but for those who don't, you're welcome for the cognitive dissonance disruption.

This doesn't even scratch the surface of the bullying and physical abuse allowed in public schools where discipline isn't really allowed. Kids discouraged from excelling in school and pushed towards drugs and social trends is a huge problem in public schools that is not seen in private education. Neither are kids in public schools encouraged to help their peers or lower grade students through tutoring and mentoring like they are in private schooling.

Trump was laughed at during his first term when he quipped about Greenland. The media laughed and so did his uber political liberal opponents. This video is a decent primer, regardless of the guy’s redundancies and political leanings.

The actual burden that’s being placed on them is the inflationary burden caused by government spending. You just said it yourself. Fix that, and sales taxes become manageable once again.

Yeah, I’m not so sure about that, but government spending is definitely going down. It’ll be a good litmus test to see if government bloat is the biggest problem to lower class.
 





From the article:

  • Senators were given previews of some of what they were told would be 100 executive orders, two sources who were in the room told Axios.
One big border plan: Reinstating Title 42, according to multiple sources.
  • The pandemic-era public health policy cites concerns about spreading illness to allow for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the border — preventing them from even a shot at asylum.
  • There were millions of Title 42 expulsions from early in the COVID pandemic until President Biden ended the policy in 2023.
Other executive actions and plans that Miller outlined included:

  • More aggressively using a part of the Immigration and Nationality Act — 287(g) — which allows some state and local law enforcement to assist in some of the duties of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
  • Building the border wall, constructing soft-sided facilities to hold migrants and implementing other asylum restrictions.






@SDC888

Seen you post Scott Adams a lot I think, here was his take:





Adams: "Repetition is the key variable in their brainwashing. If Trump makes them change their focus five times per day, the fake news can't cover the new stuff and also repeat the old stuff. Not enough time in the day.Trump found a way to beat the fake news: Overwhelm it."

Sorry to hear that man. Yeah, these debates can be fun... Or draining at times. It all started with the Founding Fathers. 🤣
Watching the natural disasters in NC, Cali etc. and recently seeing loved ones battle health issues... It really puts things in perspective.
Sending positive energy and good karma your way buddy.

Evil is such a bizarre take on this. Why do you care so much?
That like saying someone is evil because they chose to be straight and wear traditionally male clothes by choice.
Or you are evil because you like sports or pizza.
It's their life. It's their body. It's their choice in what to do with it. So long as they don't force any hormones or surgery on you.... Why are you so upset and crying a river over this??
Your concern with how others live is weirder than their lifestyle choice. 🤣

That’s an extreme point. If we have sales taxes on things like food, detergent, diapers, etc. those are things poor people have to buy regardless. If we cut income taxes, which many don’t pay anyways, They are going to inadvertently pay more by higher sales taxes on above items.

Good to hear from you and I hope you’re having a good 2025.

Sales taxes are paid by those that dodge income taxes, particularly illegals. You could rebate funds to the poor who file income tax returns.

Dude.... I went to public school in Jeff Co and lived near a ton of Trinity/St X kids. Many of them were the biggest pill popping/pot smoking/whiskey drinking dudes in the whole neighborhood.
Most of them had money to burn and parents handing them the $$$$ to buy whatever drugs they wanted.
Most turned out ok but some didn't. Private schools are not the stereotypical nirvana you are making them out to be.
I also know as a public school teacher that some of them get kicked out and land with the public schools who don't have the option to just give them the boot.

Yep. Can barely afford to pay the ever-escalating and (criminally so) taxes on the properties.

A friend's fiancee was set to inherit a property out there less than 1000ft from the beach and was trying to figure out how she could afford it. She grew up in the house her grandparents or parents bought for less than 20k when they got married. She'd have to take out a mortgage to pay the inheritance taxes and her siblings a portion of the value, which was over a million dollars 20 years ago.

Did the numbers for her financing.... damn.

Told her she needed to go a more time consuming route now through her parents and an attorney to set up a trust and such.

In large corporations thats gone on a while now. All compliance and hr training has materials focused on it and usually accompanied by intermittent email blasts reminding people if they make someone feel offended they are subject to immediate termination.

I hope at some point all this stuff gets flushed out. The general public really needs to see what its been like in corporate America for the last 4-6 years. This stuff, openly championing the fact they are promoting only minorities, and masks/vaccine mandates. The general public would be shocked.



It will be a miracle if trump survives this term. Between his old age and the lunatic army caused by libs and media brainwashing, i sadly see it as a low chance he'll make it 4 years.

Someone here mentioned Pearson and their role in education. A good friend's brother got fired to make way for dei hires. He had been doing 2 or 3 jobs for them as they kept adding work that their dei and nepotism hires didn't know how to do. They let him go after they found 3-4 people to take over what he had been doing, but lost a couple contracts once he left because they didn't have his experience or understanding of the clients.

What he learned about Pearson when he was there was a big factor in their decision to home school their kids, who are doing exceptionally well for themselves, all in different industries/professions now.

Anything imaginable and unimaginable is on the table...This is communism run-amuck for these final days.. The many that happen will very probably not be reported. The news thinks that somehow the communists will treat them kindly if the communist's win. That is the fake news that will be their downfall if it ever happens. The fake news will be destroyed by the very ideology they are supporting... Too stupid to realize even the RINO republican's are protecting their dumb arses...

Thats the other ugly side of dei. Not only did it rob deserving people of opportunity, but it also forced those exact same people to prop up the dei hires while also demanding they be silent about it all or be fired for racism.

Brutal.
