I. How many PS students do you hire per year? (40+)
j. How does their performance and skills compete with alternative educated employees?
Carry on....
(Taxes paid to PSS are irrelevant (cover ears)) 40x my annal food budget, but... I have not recently noticed a benefit to the community. Provides lots of j-o-b-s / busy work, and spews thousands of tons of emissions through 24*7 facilities with ~20% utilization and empty school buses plying and destroying the community roads.
Makes sense (as long as it's filling the pockets and pride of 'our regulars').
I have a question for our regulars, and of course, nobody has to answer this...totally up to you.
I am curious if you:
a. currently have children in the public school system
b. had children in the public school system in the past
c. never had kids in the public school system
d. have or had kids in private schools
e. why are you a "regular" in this part of the forum
Again, obviously, no one is required to answer.
Child free by choice, but am interested in how kids today are being educated, I reflect on how poorly public schools served me as a top 2% intellect back in the day, and after all my tax money is being used to fund public education. It's a good question and you don't need to be apologetic about asking it!

It is no secret why USA edu has attained its current reputation and effectiveness.
Fortunately, there are many more success stories than evidenced by (ex) professionals here at C-D EDU

Room for improvement (should anyone be listening (and more importantly ACTING)
Thanks to those who are actually 'educating' TODAY.
No excuses
There is a job to be done, skills to be delivered.
First of all, keep in mind that I live in another country on the other side of the world, where things can be very different, but also at other times they are surprisingly similar.
a- Do not currently have children in the public school system.
b. Had 2 children in the public school system in the past.
c- No
d. When they finished high school, they both chose computer majors at a private institution.
e- I was always interested in learning about other cultures, languages, different schools and forms of education around the world.

I’d like your answers first, please, and then I’ll answer. That’s only fair. If you’re not willing to answer, I will still answer once you provide a few paragraphs on why you are asking a bunch of questions that you aren’t willing to answer yourself, that can be easily answered by yourself. Otherwise it appears to me that this is just stacking ammunition for future use.
The repeated stating of nobody’s obligation to reply makes no difference in regard to anything.

I realize that I'm in your crosshairs, but I'm not going to play your games.

Unlike yourself, I have no crosshairs, and, to that extent, no need for ammunition.
Posting this, under the guise of being genuinely interested in other posters, while in actuality sizing them up, and stacking ammo, has to be the most tacky thread I’ve seen in a long while.

It is good to know that you have no cross hairs... and no need for ammunition...
And it is also good to that you can keep secret the reason you are on this board.
As for me... I'm on here because of all the emotional trauma that teachers and mean 'ole principals like Phet caused me during my twelve year career as a student.
It allows me to lash out at them without the threat of getting paddled like in the old days.
