Lol!

Super cool story. Since you have literally no idea what you are talking about, I’m gonna say bye Felicia.

Yes, we care both about education and getting paid. Again, this is surprising to you? And yes, public teacher pay scale is based on experience. We have a severe teacher shortage, so you’re welcome to join up if you think it’s so well paid and easy.

And I will, thanks! What else am I gonna do? Vote for the fascists?

Yes yes teachers bad, education bad, vote red!!!!!!!! You have no idea what NEA does or why - you just lookin silly.

Nobody being sneaky about it. Of course public school teachers want a strong union and funded pensions. It’s sad and telling you view this as a gotcha.

At no point did I say my voting was altruistic. I literally said I vote for what’s best for me and mine as part of my voting strategy. As does everyone else.

Yes, that’s what progressives are all about: me me me. 😂.

Edit: And NEA leaning left surprises you? The right is in an all out war against education and is one small step from jailing teachers just like Nazi germany. It’s not exactly shocking our biggest union supports the party that isn’t using us as a pawn to distract their dumb voters.

Not wealthy - my wife and I are teachers. Don’t even know what your point is tbh. Gl!

Agreed, which is why I support the party that is better for the average American. And no, my goal is not to be taxed up the wazoo, i just understand how society works.

Thanks for sharing.

We have a two party system. When it’s time for me to vote, I sit down and look at how each party will affect the things I care about.

It’s actually pretty simple from my perspective. I don’t care what the parties are called: After all, republicans used to be a very different 170ish years ago. I vote for the party that makes my life better and aligns with my morals 🤷🏾

I really don’t care what they are called or their color. Voting for a third party does not move me closer to my goals for our country/state. Voting Democrat does. It’s not a loyalty issue, it’s a practicality issue.

If you want to argue about a third party system, you go do you. I’m well aware of the faults of our current situation.

Defend what votes? Are you implying that if I voted for republicans the gas/economy would be in better shape?

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing.

Neither. I have small kids so I save my personal days for when they can’t go to school.

Sadly not an option. We have had a million colds this winter/fall. I don’t even know if this one is contagious, because last week I felt lousy too. I’ll wear a mask and keep my distance!

Teacher in the area - it’s been hitting my school for the last two weeks. I’m gonna be bombing out the faculty rr a few times tomorrow for sure.

Lol!

Silly link, and yea I just looked into it. Not perfect, but it is what it is.

I mean, the tax revenue and licenses are just facts, not analysis. You seem like your primary objective is making sure small growers have a place in the market. My primary objectives are safety and tax dollars, followed by price, followed by seller.

🤷🏾 At least we are trying to help the smaller growers.

Great last I checked. Over 1b extra tax dollars in 2022 to spend on schools and infrastructure and voters just put in a bunch of new measures to grant more licenses. We don’t have the size to get there, but an extra 100+ million will certainly help!

Don’t think so. I lived through CA legalization and the majority of predictions on how that played out turned out to be untrue, so I’m not too worried. I’ll wait and see. Glad we finally got here though. Easy win for the state.

But the article doesn’t say that. It says that there’s issues. I don’t see where you’re coming from, so I’ll wait and see.

Not spinning anything. Calm down.

Makes no sense.

Why post this quote and not the following one? It literally follows with “and that’s fine” and then lists the benefits even if we make less than we thought and/or big buyers take over the industry.

It’s a win for CT 🤷🏾 Took too long and too much red tape, but I try not to let great get in the way of good.

Local teacher here: CT has a glut of great private schools. This is partially a reflection on how good our public schools are. My advice is twofold:

1-Decide if you’re interested in boarding. Personally, I wish I had done boarding now that I’ve seen some of what it’s like in a place like CT. Be aware boarding schools in CT are 70k+.

2-If you want a day school, just schedule tours at the 3-4 closest to you that you like the look of. Private schools love giving tours. Since we have so many good private schools, the market drives out the terrible ones for the most part. I teach public in the state, but I’ve mixed in with half a dozen private schools for coaching, PD, friends etc. I don’t really think you need a specific school rec. My advice is decide based on location, price, and campus, and then just tour a few.
