Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

That happens all the time.

And, the Feds never funded special education to the levels they needed to. The only thing that is "fair" for the entire country is if the Feds pay for all special education across the country and mandate that every school accommodate it.

It's the only thing that makes sense. Instead we are going backwards. I see public education being completely dead in this country in the next 20 years. We are creating, and putting in a permanent uneducated under class so they can work for the billionaire's.

And no one seems to care.

My Nephew has a rambunctious son, just turned 7, he was at a private school, they complained about his behavior. My son and his wife knew he flit from one thing or another at the drop of a hat. Drs diagnose ADHD. Private school said you would be better off putting him in Public school where they have the resources to handle him . Good luck to any kids with some kind of learning issue going to a charter/private school.

Yeah, cause they don't want to deal with it. That's why charter advocates point to them as a better education.

No. They get to pick and choose who they'll let in, so the students who struggle, or have learning disabilities, or are disruptive, are immediately culled from the student pool, leaving only dedicated, highly focused students for them to concentrate on.

The solution to falling school standards-kick out all the underperformers. Go watch Pump Up The Volume again.

I believe Linda McMahon advocated for this during her hearing...to be head of the Department of Education.

Elon Musk says after rooting through all the financials and personal data, he now needs to go to Fort Knox and "audit" the gold reserves to see if what the Government claims is actually there...

It’s the “enlightened centrists” that are the worst. How do you even try to compose a response to “yeah Republicans only help the rich but Democrats only want to help the poor!”? Like, Dump supporters you can blame programming, but those kind of takes are a whole other level of stupid.

It’s probably why South Park has fallen off a cliff the last 10 years, Matt and Trey are the kings of enlightened centrists.

I assumed it fell off the cliff when Matt and Trey started spending more time on Broadway.

When you don't know who you should be firing and who you shouldn't, then you just have to assume there is no basis for any of these people being purged other than on a whim.

It’s a common Silicon Valley/Techbro technique, slash everything and see what breaks. Which is fine when you run a tech company, not so great for a government.

Another lesson of government can not be run like a business.

Make sure she downloads / prints all performance reviews on file, all promotion letters, everything in her personnel file. Immediately.

They're claiming it's because of performance, but *anyone* who has had a promotion within the last year as well is labeled "probationary" and these dumb fucks don't understand that. They're assuming probationary means bad.

If she's also in a union (doubtful at her level?), make sure she communicates with her reps.


*edit* Also, back up and/or print all email and phone contacts. NOW. Make offline copies of email (if possible with the GOV security settings). Once they turn off that access, those items will be lost.

Not a government agency, but I had a boss twice lose his contacts because they were synced to his work email (despite being his personal cell phone) when he quit each place.

Yup...and honestly it doesnt work in Silicon Valley either. It did in the 80s/90s...
 
That strategy is what gave "Chainsaw Al" Dunlap his nickname. With any luck, Musk will meet a similar fate - exposed for major fraud and rarely heard from until his death.
