I’m not sure if it’s just me or maybe it’s a pandemic I’m unaware of. I’m finding my tolerance level for the stupid that surrounds me, people, is waning like the Pfizer vaxx.

    I keep telling the wife I want property in TX, away from the BS. She once laughed at me. Now she’s coming around.

    So I’m not alone.

    When a democrat says they care about public education - Big Surprise, they are lying. How in the hell did we stop caring about kids and just handed over our education system to lazy ass, incompetent teachers? (I realize there are still some good teachers, but geezus, they aren't in charge.)

    Portland teachers union proposes self-taught Fridays for high schoolers, says educators need more planning time
    Updated: Nov. 30, 2021, 9:25 a.m. | Published: Nov. 30, 2021, 8:16 a.m.

    To help Portland Public Schools’ educators and students adjust to the stresses of resuming full-time in-person classes, the union representing the district’s teachers proposes cancelling in-person instruction for high schoolers one day every week after winter break.

    Under a bargaining agreement proposed by the Portland Association of Teachers Monday afternoon, teachers would spend half of that day offering some students individual or small group help online and a half-day planning future instruction.

    In elementary, K-8 and middle schools, students would arrive two hours late or be sent home two hours early one day a week to give their teachers more time to plan instruction designed to make up for lost learning.

    Union negotiators say district officials and principals could choose when those weekly virtual days, late starts and early releases take place. But they said would make the most sense for them to happen on days when high schoolers take all eight of their classes for short, 44-minute periods, rather than the four other weekdays when they take part in just half of their courses for about 90 minutes each.

    For most high schools, that’s Friday.

    And by "planning" they meant play. Burn all things run by the government into the ground.

    Kids in Idaho are mostly pretty nice. Lots of them say please, thank you and sir and mam. Way too scary here.

    Property in Texas ain’t cheap, and there are still retards, but they know to keep their opinions to themselves.

    Not enough money in the world to convince me to raise my kids in Portland, all my nieces and nephews seem mentally broken.

    I'd give the Texas kids more props if I didn't have to slow down to go through the school zone on the way to work. F those jokers

    Only white kids though. We know being polite and well behaved is a construct of whiteness and white supremacy. Blacks can’t control themselves so we shouldn’t expect them to.

    High school teacher says telling students to behave in class is 'white supremacy'

    We're a little short on other kids. I've found the same to be true in Montana, Wyoming etc. Strange ain't it?
