  1. The VP is named to lead the Presidential initiative on A.I.?

    I gave you a topic — talk amongst yourselves.

    1. The VP is the Vice President. The Vice President is second in command to the President of the United States. The United States is a country on the planet Earth. We live on Earth. The VP also lives on Earth.

  2. It’s not just in the US. Education is a disaster in my country also – none of my kids have been a part of the system, and are the better for it!

  3. As long as schools are awarded by body count instead of effective teaching, the problem will continue. I’ve mentioned before that I dropped out of 6th grade but then passed a GED (before completing a night school class) and attended a community college with a B average. Not possible if the schools had been teaching and I had been held to that standard. This was nearly five decades ago. The problem is not new.

    1. I stayed in school because I had nothing better to do, and graduated 55 years ago, because a group of teachers decided to push me out (I was absent 44 days during my senior year). I wrote and sold my first novel less than three years later. I went to community college mainly so I could play with whatever girls were handy. I didn’t need a deferment because the draft lottery had been implemented and I got a high number. It was the girls who got me in so much trouble.

  4. 10USC246 DEFINES the United States Militia as all able bodied male US citizens 16 and older, and younger than 45. In accordance with Article I, section 8, clause 16 of the Constitution, our schools could receive federal funding for teaching our young citizens what they need to know to exercise their rights and responsibilities as militiamen by the time they’re juniors. Instead, educators resist putting armed officers in schools, to say nothing of even allowing teachers to be armed.

    To me, that means the educational establishment consists of outright saboteurs. They deliberately cripple our children, making them fit only for slavery.

    1. Like all institutions, their denizens regard same as their property rather than that of the society taxed to support them.

      It’s an age-old phenomenon, seen in pre-revolutionary France and in imperial China and countless other examples.
