I am not sure why I would be anointed as the person who chooses which schools survive. Odd question to be honest... Oh, and well done with the Trump mention.🤡
We,as a family have been able to help send many inner city underprivileged kids to private high school. That’s known as putting the money where the mouth is and making a difference. You,like to stir crap about our President on line and are progressive enough to embrace socialism. Keep up the good work.
You are showing signs of mental fatigue, rest is coming soon.👍🏿

All 5 of my kids are employed, all went to college, 3 graduated, 2 bagged it and did other things. The oldest who traditional school was not a fit for is one of the more “successful” of them, he’s in the trades and has a number of licenses. Had to take classes, but not from the typical education professional. I spent a number of years employed at a college, now among the deceased, and have a little idea of how they work. Even though as a never Trumper you identify me as a socialist or liberal, I was told to not publicize that I was a Republican.
Actually I never worried about it, of course it was decades before the Trumplican administration and things were not nearly as polarized.
I did find there was a total lack of honesty and don’t blame it on any political party, since for the most part administration and alumni relations is on the right side of the spectrum, professors tend to range to the left depending on how artsy there subject is.
We as a society need to change the way we approach higher ed, saying we did whatever, while it worked in your circumstance, doesn’t help move this society in a beneficial direction.
Apparently that labels me as a socialist, if so I’ll gladly take that label as opposed to a Trumplican who seems to be driven by fear of almost everything.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
