1. RDS would have everyone’s vote here if he gets the nom. No one hates his policies.
2. It’s very unlikely that happens at this point because Trump has a secretariate lead at Belmont on the field
Trump once again sucks all the air out of the room.
And that’s ok, as long as he can win in November. I personally think either of those guys can beat Biden, even with their passion for unforced errors on the trail.
Biden is that bad
And that is really saying something, given your portfolio. -

The irony is that it takes self-discipline (the dazzler hates the word discipline for some reason) and some outside discipline to do things that are hard. Even in a "top" school districts like West Linn or Lake Oswego the only real outside discipline that was enforced at school was in athletics. Kids weren't abused, but if you were late to practice, you ran laps and might lose your next start. They would get yelled at and told to do it again. Practice makes perfect, and if the "I Promise" school isn't imposing practice on math and reading, then it's not going to happen.PurpleThrobber said:
Teacher's unions hate enforcing practice, discipline and responsibility. Anyone deviating gets the hammer.

In the early 1980s, Jaime Escalante becomes a mathematics teacher at James A. Garfield High School in East Los Angeles. The school is full of Latino students from working-class families whose academic achievement is far below their grade level. Two students, Angel and another gangster, arrive late and question Escalante's authority. Escalante demonstrates how to multiply numbers using one's fingers and appeals to the students' sense of humor. After class, some gangsters threaten Escalante. After school, he stops the gangsters from fighting. He then introduces himself as a "one-man gang" with the classroom as his domain. Escalante tells the students that he's decided to teach the students algebra.
At a meeting, Escalante learns that the school's accreditation is under threat, as test scores are not high enough. Escalante says that students will rise to the level that is expected of them. Escalante gives the students a quiz every morning and a new student joins the class. He instructs his class under the philosophy of ganas, roughly translating to "desire".
Escalante tells other faculty that he wants to teach the students calculus. He seeks to change the school culture to help the students excel in academics, as he has seen the untapped potential of his class. Other teachers ridicule him, as the students have not taken the prerequisites. Escalante states that the students can take the prerequisites over the summer. He sets a goal of having the students take Advanced Placement Calculus by their senior year.
The students sign up for the prerequisites over the summer. There is no air conditioning, but Escalante is able to teach the class, giving them oranges and telling them to focus so they can get good jobs and take vacations. In the fall, he gives the students contracts to be signed by the parents; they must come in on Saturdays, show up an hour early to school, and stay until 5pm in order to prepare for the AP Calculus exam.
Two weeks before the students' exam, Escalante is teaching an ESL class to some adults. He suddenly clutches at his torso in pain, stumbles into the hallway, and falls. A substitute teacher is found for the students while Escalante recovers in the hospital, but the substitute teacher is a music teacher. Soon after, Escalante escapes from the hospital and shows up at school to continue teaching. After taking the exam, the students head to the beach and celebrate. All 18 students who took the exam pass it. At a meeting to congratulate the students, a plaque of appreciation is presented to Escalante.
To the dismay of both Escalante and the students, the Educational Testing Service questions the students' exam scores. Escalante finds an anonymous letter of resignation in his school mail and has to walk home that evening, as his car has been stolen from the school parking lot. Dismayed, he confides in his wife that he regrets having taught the students calculus, because they did well but nothing changed for them. The boys of the class show up at Escalante's house; they have fixed up his car as a way to thank him. Escalante meets with the investigators from Educational Testing Service, argues with them, but ultimately offers to have the students retake the test. Despite having only one day to prepare, all the students pass, and Escalante demands that the original scores be resubmitted. -

You’re carrying petty grudges while supporting a sure loser in DeSantis while Harris is saying Joe’s economic policies are a disaster.46XiJCAB said: -

Liberals libertarians and conservatives cede the government interference issue to the left on abortion. That's the only right the left cares about
All this green energy bullshit is direct negative interference by the government in all of our lives
You lean into the weather during the Dog Days of Summer.
