I really don't need another thing to do but I think I might run for a school board position or at the very least start lobbying for a complete restructuring and reimagination of the education system. It is OBVIOUS that the system doesn't work because the past 50 years of my adult like I have heard nothing but issues that no amount of money could ever fix. I propose a 12 month school year for teachers working 8 hours a day with 5 of those hours in instruction/student time and the other 3 hours for prep time EVERY DAY, that should solve the issue with not enough time for prep and marking tests. Of course they would get holidays just like the rest of the working population according to the labor standards guidelines. Change the curriculum so elementary is only getting the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic and some sciences as well as skill labs, I am going to go through the curriculum and see what can be optimized and changed. NO homework for elementary kids and ONLY homework a parent can assist with. For Jr and Senior high which would be practice of the concepts learned that day with a key for parents to check the work and not more than 30 minutes per day. As far as the special needs kids in mainstream classrooms I will have to think about that a little more because it serves no one to have them in the classroom screaming and having tantrums, interrupting education.
I am PRETTY fecking sick of all the public purse employees demands on MY tax dollars and it's about time they worked for the salary and benefits they get currently, if they want more they have to do more.
I am dead serious and it's going to be my winter project, I spent 25 years in education and I KNOW it can be done, just ask home school parents how long it actually takes in a day to educate the kids.

This from Coffee & Covid today. It’s a perfect fit for what’s going on in Canada…moreso than in the U.S.
I bet you never thought mild-mannered House Speaker Mike Johnson had it in him. Yesterday, at a Republican Leadership press conference, the Speaker delivered a passionate, historically literate, and persuasive argument against the Democrats and their far-left allies, i.e., the Democratic Socialists of America.
“Our rights come from our Creator, God; they do not come from the government,” Johnson explained, warming up. “The communist believes the opposite. They believe that government of the state is god, and that the state gives you all your rights. And you know what? The state can also take those rights away. And that’s exactly what happens. It’s inevitable in communism.”
All our beloved, muscular, anti-communist Cold Warriors from the last millennium have either retired or died off. The battle-worn GOP relaxed its battle against communism after the fall of the Soviet Union,...
