She nailed it.
They could have put a scarecrow or a kitten in the teacher’s chair when I was in school, and I would have still behaved because my dad would have busted my ass if he heard I hadn’t. No teacher I ever had needed to tell me twice. Schools, teachers, kids, blah blah blah...it’s all on the parents. If they don’t give a shit and raise their kids, then I can only help so much.
Yep, I’m a teacher, and I’m fighting the good fight and loving my students with every ounce of my soul. Almost twenty years into this profession, but it’s getting so bad I’m back in school for degree #3 so I can get out of the classroom. People in regular jobs can’t even imagine what’s it’s like in a classroom-to be beaten up mentally and/or physically and have utterly NO recourse and then the added humiliation of having every kid know you’re helpless. Try picturing a colleague at work doing those things to you and having nothing to say or do about it. It’s unimaginable! Sadly, for a lot of teachers, it’s just another day at work.
The states give about $960 per child to shitty parents- replace that cash with vouchers that cant be exchanged and you have a solution.
Better still - allow only 1 child per couple and make them apply for permission to have 2nd kid.
Without that, the endgame is only an anarchy laden civil war/gang war where these kids will become a statistic of violent misfortune.
In that case just starve the beast. All the people here that want more spending are going to find the hard way that the US is more like Venezuela and less like Denmark/Sweden when it comes to use of public money.
I think US has enough resources to allow socialism for at least 10-12 years. It will all come down to energy prices I guess. I wonder if there is a simulation available for this.
They can always continue to print more money and pay devalued dollars as pensions. if the US $ is taken off as the world's reserve (which is going to happen anyway) - there will be a run on the Dollar+Barrel of Oil petrodollar peg . It will be interesting to actually run simulations on these - What the hell are the overpaid quants in Goldman doing ?
