I agree with you if you were to qualify this with "up until puberty." I had really strong opinions on what it took to get a kid to be a good student and get them to perform well in school and then my middle son turned 14 and everything I thought I knew was tossed out the window.TurdBomber said:
It's quite simple, actually. When the parents are involved, take education seriously, and make their kids prioritize school and homework, the kids will do well.NorthwestFresh said:Lift students up? Nah, let’s drag them all down because too many whites and Asians are in AP courses. The lack of real teaching by the retarded fat woman in my OP leads to these type of decisions.
Classes at my kids' schools where kids performed poorly never had more than 3 or 4 parents out of a class of 30 kids showing up for parent-teacher conferences. You could see that those kids were fucked over by their own families by 2nd grade.
Equity means tearing down all systems that reward hard work, achievement and excellence.
Public schools are predominantly run by overpaid ignorant thugs today. And Charter chains will continue to eat their lunch as a result.
Of my 3 boys he was my star student. Kind of kid who came home and did his homework without being asked to do it. Devoured books, I used to have to take his flashlight away from him during the school week because he'd be up until 1:00am reading under the covers. Straight A student that I used to brag about and then everything changed. As of right now he isn't even going to graduate high school.
34 on her ACT, 4.0 and taking PCC college courses now, and a $30,000 a year academic scholarship from the University of Arizona for STEM. I feel fortunate she’s a stubborn kid who kept studying and will graduate.
One thing she did do was get a part-time job at a Tilly’s clothing store for 12 hours a week last summer that she’s kept and it gets her out of the house socializing and making some money. She did that all on her own.
My sophomore daughter is a different story and may get a D in a class this year unless she cares enough to turn it around. Smart kid, was in TAG too, but has to be forced to do her on-line work where before lockdown she’d come home from school and go to her desk in her bedroom to get her homework done.
This is crushing kids.
Land grant school! I’d prefer she go to Tempe because we have friends and family there but Tucson isn’t too far away.
She just wants out of Portland to live in sunshine and I can’t blame her at all. -
Mainstream media partisanship leads to lies without consequence. That then spreads to social media, where lies are rarely countered til days later after the damage has already been done.NorthwestFresh said:

If you were a kid, would you trust anyone or anything from any "official source?" I sure as fuck wouldn't, and it would destroy my confidence that whatever my future plans are, they won't be ripped out from under me by lies, con artists, frauds and partisan hacks faking shit like "wokiness," race and hate crime hoaxes, widespread unfairness from "equity" policies that reward the worst of all forms of conduct, etc. Meanwhile the kids' eyes and ears are filled with bullshit from dawn til dusk. There's an epidemic of depression going on alright, and it's not just from social withdrawal. It's also because the country is run by assholes right now, and 81 million people think that's just swell. -

Both did well, but both say it's a huge party school. Little sister of STDU. -
Rarely see the U of A co eds for almost a year now. Very sad. I'm 20 years older than them now and IDGAF. They're legal.
I blame the cunt mayor and the rest of the Dimocrat brass who shamed them last fall for partying.
Yeah, I hijacked this thread a little. Oh well.
