cnf every time we have a fight over a school levy, even if it's a renewal that costs ZERO additional dollars, I spend all my time yelling at the Olds on Nextdoor that these children are our future and we need a well educated and trained populous to take care of them. It's unfortunately probably mostly a waste of my energy Who do these olds think will be working to keep social security solvent? I really hope our generation isn't this selfish when we're old.

So…..I think this is tied to the drive to destroy public education. Where will all those poor kids go, if their parents can’t afford a private school? Put them to work. They are laying the groundwork so it’s legal.

The game seems to be to see how far they can take advantage of children to serve their economic goals. But, this is the party that said our patriotic duty was to die for the DOW during COVID-19 so...

School levy times are some of the most stressful elections. We are fortunate that most of ours pass without much fuss but we are up for one soon that I'm worried about. We have one of, if not the highest property tax rate in the state. I hope it passes! Ours is definitely not the highest, but it's pretty high. People love to bitch about how other states like CA have lower property tax rates but forget there are more factors at play. When we moved from CA to OH I got a refund on my car registration that covered literally 4 years of OH registration. Sales tax is higher and I think the income tax might be too, but there are also other sources of revenue for CA. There's just no good comparison. It's insane how clueless people are. My county has some of the highest taxes in the country. We were like top five last I checked.

Edit: FDIC shut down SVB today. It is HIGHLY unusual for the FDIC to step in during business hours.
Thankfully the first 250k of deposits are insured by the FDIC.

The SVB thing is going to be disastrous for so many startups. Many folks are going to lose their jobs. $250k just isn't that much. Dude. It’s bleak out here in tech world. I guess that’s one way to solve our housing crisis but not the way I was hoping we’d go for.

I'm intimately familiar with the dynamics of power parenting. Sending kids to public school ain't it.
Also, I'm wondering if she was referring to the AR news, ignoring completely the school discussion. That would be less ridiculous. But equally as unserious a comment.

I ate my own post because I don't want to do this all weekend. Yes thank you for your wise insights sifl. Whatever would we do without you telling us what to type into the search machine.

She already decided I churn out conformist worker bees despite having zero understanding of the nuances of my career or what work I actually do as a classroom teacher, the inner workings of a public school district, nor any education to back herself up with. Ignore my Masters degree and over 13 years as a public educator. She and Fox News are obviously more well informed. And Google. Obviously.

Ignore my Masters degree and over 13 years as an educator. She and Fox News are obviously more well informed. The really funny thing — to me — is that I am also really worried about big schools flattening my child/not being able to address my children as individuals. But I recognize the privilege I have to be able to even think about things so specifically and! I am able to understand that issue *isn’t* that “regular public schools” “are terrible for children.” 🙄🙄🙄 That's how you can tell it's disingenuous. There are major issues in education! There are whole subjects being repressed and children being told to fit in a box! The issue isn't public school, it's assholes with inferiority complexes writing laws about things they don't understand.

I actually hadn’t heard anything about the bank stuff until this morning when a company I’ve purchased from (slumberkins) posted a very honest and sad letter about how their funds were there. They’re not sure how they’re going to continue… they’re doing a huge sale to try to help them coast through this crisis Then I came here to see if people were talking about it
