That's barely a step up. Let's get sold to Denmark instead.

I see this misconception all over the place and I can only assume it stems from not understanding the electoral college.

You overestimate how many people live in swing states.

Every non-voter who lives in California voted for Kamala. All of the state's EC votes went to her.

I guess slavery is more profitable than teaching kids.

Me too. Ever since I read Richard Stallman's words to avoid article. I kinda wish I hadn't read it now lmao.

If you really think the US will struggle to host the olympics, it might be time to leave the basement once in a while.

No but there are two things we should be doing; even non-teachers. Be a role model for even a single kid. Gain their respect so they want to learn your wisdom. An afternoon of doing anything with a kid who respects you can do more than months of school. Teach them how to be upstanding and how to think.

The other part is teachers need to organize a new system in which teachers are in charge of teaching. It'll never happen unless you start. Sitting around and bitching about the education system for going on decades now is just pathetic.

This is my point exactly. They don't desire that. Nor should they. And so they shouldn't do that.

We cannot keep with this horrible system that does nothing but torture kids and teachers alike. It's not working. It's clear it's not working. Change will never come from the top, because like you said, they will never voluntarily change it. So it must come from the bottom.

The article is specifically about the USA. That's what I'm talking about too.
