Evidently y’all ppl just don’t understand... that these “Bat shite Crazy Far Left Liberal Teachers” knows what’s best for your children more than you do.
I mean... how in the hell are they supposed to indoctrinate your kids into lunacy when you resist?

Nothing says quality education more then letting a drag queen dressed up like a satanic geisha girl have story time hour to kids about Charlie The Cum Drinker goes to the zoo.

All things get politicized in this country.

Still doesn't change the fact that the ice is melting, the ozone is being destroyed, the sea and waters are being filled with filthy pollution, and this generation has never seen a global pandemic like the one we are experiencing.

Seeing is believing.

You do realize who the world leader is in everything you just pointed out?

And you do realize that over 50% of the fossil fuel power plants in the United States have been shut down.

If you want to measure conviction, if you want belief and reality and truth as it's truly perceived at this moment about the severity of the pandemic, look no further than commercialism pushing countless billions of dollars away from the table, time after time after time after time.

No amount of media and political hocus pocus will ever extract that kind of revenue from big businesses greedy, insatiable appetite. Big business has made a science out of finding the "sucker born every minute." They seldom play the role themselves.

Big business believes in the reality of this pandemic.

Meaning they are free from a lot of state mandates, can set their own curriculums , discipline rules , et


Which is a main advantage for recruiting teachers. Micro managing student learning outcomes that are tied to some financial metric for funding at the state level is a major downfall in teaching. It forces public schools to teach towards, in NC's case an EOG test, a standardized goal that really has no value. It creates a curriculum that you do not need a teacher to follow but someone that can teach kids how to memorize and learn test strategy. A complete joke and why our system is rated so low internationally and why it is harder to attract teachers for the public schools outside of the charter school.

And today, Florida racked up a new national championship of an infamous kind. The state reported a 1 day case total of15,300, shattering the state record and even surpassing the worst one day total New York ever reported. The graph of daily cases is starting to resemble the proverbial hockey stick.

This is a scandal begging for press coverage:

333 FL Covid Testing labs reported 100% positive tests today in State Report for 3,528 tests.

That is 34% of today's 10,360 new cases.

Without these, today's "percent positive" would fall from 12.6% to 8.7%.

They will blame it on something. I was all the way over it the very moment that health officials started claiming that racism was more important than the virus.

Agree totally . Just pointing out the differences and why SOME charter schools ( usually 10 -15% fail) are more successful and why public school teachers don’t like them. Public school teachers teach with one hand tied behind their back

And why we see less and less want to enter the field. The ability to just teach in the charter system is more attractive vs having to be told what material is important for a metric that is used to determine financial budgeting for the next year instead of actually promoting a positive learning environment with the interest of the students first and foremost.

I’m not sure they could come up with a reasonable pay, to interest me in teaching. Teachers have an incredibly tough job.

This would be more meaningful if the chart he made spanned at least a week. The one day he chose to chart was a weekend day. I do know in some areas, positive results on the weekends are prioritized for reporting to the state health departments. If the labs were overwhelmed with tests, that could explain 100% positive results from individual labs. So I’d rather see a 7 day timeframe before jumping to any conspiracy conclusion.

I can tell you that’s either what the Spleen said or fake news. Pancare that is the 3rd entry on your list did my test last month. I was negative. Most of the people that I know that got tested there were negative. I did see a guy get a positive a few cars behind me the day I was tested. Pancare isn’t faking numbers. Especially since the highest 1 day total here in Bay County is nowhere near 323 and that is where Pancare is doing the majority of their testing.

The politicization of this disease is so disheartening. One side is trying to make it out to be the Black Death of the middle ages and the other is trying to pass it off as a cold that the guvmint is using to entrench the Deep State. Not personally aimed at you BobbyJohnson, but more aimed at the idiot you quoted going off half-cocked. Misinformation is our worst enemy right now or maybe second worst behind everyone trying to score political points with half truths and outright lies. My faith in humanity has taken a serious hit due to COVID.

I guess it is a crash course in human nature for lots of people, but at the end of the day, everyone still has very serious decisions to make for themselves and their family. If I'm erring, it's on the side of caution. Even if the president can't figure out this whole, why should I wear a mask thing, I've learned to have a gameplan that I can "live" with. And if it comes to it, being the minority, ain't no big thing.
