prefect posted:The dietitian might take out a small chocolate éclair and replace it with a kiwi for dessert if she thinks there's too much sugar that week. lol. basically "France doesn't treat it like an underfunded afterthought" my gf looked into getting a job as a head dietitian for the local school district. the dietary part turned out to consist of copying and pasting pre-approved meals while primarily being concerned with staying under budget. 90% of the job actually involved wrangling the minimum wage staffing of the kitchens and going from school to school to cover when someone didn't show up. certainly the sort of thing a person with the required masters in nutrition, dietitian certification, and years of paediatric experience would be jumping to do for $35k.

I love it when engineers engineer their way out of social psychology problems  EDIT: thought i got this part in my quote too but i guess not, here's my favorite part quote:A particular low moment for Miley, he wrote, happened when he asked a question at Twitter’s engineering leadership meeting about what specific steps Twitter engineering was taking to increase diversity. Twitter’s senior VP of Engineering responded, “diversity is important, but we won’t lower the bar.” "if we hire more blacks we'll have to compromise quality because they're inherently inferior!"

Luigi Thirty posted:schools here literally got fresh ingredients via a government program, sold them to Tyson below market value, and got a discount on frozen processed lunches in return because it is really expensive to prep food for thousands at dozens of locations from fresh ingredients, and the budget is usually ~$2-3 per meal including ingredients and labor. it is at the point where the real economy of scale that lets companies churn out millions of frozen meals doesn't kick in but large enough that logistics are really important in a way they aren't if you are cooking for a family. up the budget to $10-20 per and you would get pretty amazing food made from scratch. but imagine the fallout when some conservative tax avenger gets their hands on a photo of a poor minority eating that meal via the free and reduced lunch program.

What's sad about that is that, despite screwing over the teachers and shorting students, they're still delivering surprisingly good educations. It's just now the teachers and other staff get to do an already mostly thankless job for less money and appalling working conditions.

Okay I figured it out, the ranking I remember was highschool graduations, from 2004 to 2007 we were dead last in graduations by percentage but we've come up since then. One of the reasons we came up is because we lowered the standards of our standardized tests because too many people were failing them  the story I was always told as to why we were so bad at education is we have a big voting block of old people who have no kids in the state that need public schools, so our budget is constantly getting cut or hosed with (for instance, in the mid-2000's my area approved a minimum class size amendment that was supposed to also go hand-in-hand with a half-cent sales tax increase. except the sales tax increase was voted down, so we wound up with a class size mandate and nothing to fund it with). this is incidentally why we also have one of the scariest, most militarized police forces - old people are terrified of rowdy gangster blacks.

going into the toll booth on the skyway the speed limit drops from 65 to 55 and there are always cops there I get passed by people blowing through doing 70 500 feet from the toll booth and then slamming on their brakes because the transponder lane's speed limit is 25 all the time I got flipped off by someone in a giant truck because I wouldn't go 80 in pea soup fog on 275 through St Pete

a lot of states are starting to test out online charter schools because charter school companies are loving cheap as hell and who cares about funding education but it turns out online charter schools are garbage. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...an-entire-year/ compared to a 180 day school year in public school, students of online charter schools on average find themselves 72 days behind at the end of the year in reading and 180 days behind in math. i guess at least they didn't lose anything?

(maryland is #3 and massachusetts is #1)
