1. This applies to Governor Kevin Stitt

As comedian Jerry Clower once said "Some folks are educated beyond their intelligence."

2. Wow, amazing. Or maybe not so amazing. The home schooling, haters of public education have never pushed higher.....

......quality education as their goal, but instead just their "choice" to decide who teaches their precious spawn, and who might be sitting next to them in the classroom. DCM - thanks for posting this. Interesting.

3. The GOP/conservative billionaire donors who buy them want to privatize education, 'cause each child means money.

Public, quality education represents lost dollars to privatizers. Plus, they can control curriculum.

4. I would think that even people like Gov. Stitt know they are destroying this country.

A bit of a mouth-barf while trying to speak the lies. Going home and having a stiff drink. Not worrying about 10-20 year down the road.

6. Not everyone is an academic

I would vastly prefer the system many European countries have, the general diploma followed by up to two years of trade school. AI and robotics might start to run industry, but we're going to need skilled people to tell them what to do and fix them when they screw up. We're going to need skilled service workers and skilled techs.

Having them sit through 2-3 extra years of high school, bored out of their minds and completely uninterested in the subject matter, is not going to produce them. We also don't need to keep labeling kids who quit at 16 as "dropouts." Give them an alternative, they won't drop.
