10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
“I was knee-deep in it,” Gore said about the local connections to the billionaires. “I guess I was just too naive. I should have known better.”
YES, YOU SHOULD HAVE. There's only so many different ways we can spell this out for you. Now your job should be to campaign relentlessly for Democrats up and down the ballot, because they're clearly the only ones who give a shit about public education, students, and teachers.
Wait... There are people that still trust government run institutions to educate their kids?
The public school system must be worse than I thought, or people are just unwilling to accept that public schools exist to turn our children into cannon fodder for corporations.
And water isn't actually wet.
We know.
Regardless of who or what is navigating the public education system, it has gotten so bad at this current state that there's absolutely no way I'm having the public education system manage my children 6-7-8 hours a day everyday. Public education in the United States has degraded significantly. My 5 year old is more advanced than 2nd graders (7-8 year olds) in language arts, mathematics, and science (more specifically astronomy). I don't know what these kids in public education are pre-occupied with during those hours at school but it's really sad, I mean that sincerely. These children have incredibly far more capacity to learn and public education is limiting them.
Yeah I know, this will get downvoted... some how many of you really put trust in government and government programs that have done nothing but fail us as a whole. It is what it is.
