    I can’t imagine a more contentious, biased moderator.

    You blame the state for not funding more charter schools, which is a convoluted way of saying defund public schools.

    You blame your parents for not homeschooling you, because they had to work. You yourself would rather just work. Think about it a little. Would you be able to pull your kids out of school, homeschool them if you are busy working? Or would you send your kids directly to work at the age of 10? Would you like the state to rewrite child labor laws?

    You blame the state legislators? This is the first time in our serval day long conversation that you mentioned legislators. You previously solely mentioned teachers, your school ect.

    Perhaps you should petition your legislators instead of pointlessly arguing with random internet strangers.

    I am a public school teacher. I am an educator. My job is helping young children gain life skills in the hope that they will be successful in life. I am only interested in solutions to problems. I don’t see how any of your suggestions lead towards solutions.

    Go try to make a positive contribution. You are just complaining that your experience in highschool sucked. ‘Things should be different.’ That’s all I’ve heard from you. How are you going to make things different? Will it be better for all of us or does your solution only benefit your circumstances?

      I can think of at least one, XD.

      Cause and effect doesn’t imply guilt. I am extremely privileged to have the parents I have.

      Sorry, but that’s exactly why this community exists, not necessarily only for pointless argument but for pointless discussion too. You are engaging in it just as much as me- and calling me biased for having an opinion you disagree with. Everyone is biased, including you, the issue is when bias influences decision making- check the modlogs and call it out if it does.

      I am only interested in solutions to problems.

      You and most people reject it is a problem, I am advocating it is.

      I have a lot of problems with a lot of things. I am not virtuous enough to dedicate my life to solving all of them. I can still complain about them on the internet just as you do.
