papa horny michael posted:acting like democrats haven't been hand in hand with destroying American education is complicity Don’t Like Betsy DeVos? Blame the Democrats. The Democratic Party paved the way for the education secretary's efforts to privatize our public schools. via Diane Ravitch at the New Republic. ravitch posted:As Democrats learned years ago, support for mandatory testing and charter schools opens fat wallets on Wall Street. Money guys love deregulation, testing and Big Data, and union-busting. In 2005, Obama served as the featured speaker at the inaugural gathering of Democrats for Education Reform, which bundles contributions to Democrats who back charter schools: Among its favorites have been those sharp DeVos critics George Miller, Michael Bennet, and Cory Booker. Conservative funders like the Walton Foundation also give generously to charter schools and liberal think tanks such as the Center for American Progress. Pretty brutal. Any advice for Dems? ravitch posted:This is what Democrats should be yelling about. And if there’s ever a moment for them to reclaim their mantle as the party of public education, it’s now. The misguided push for “reform” is currently being led not by Obama and Duncan, but by Trump and DeVos, giving Democrats an opening to shift gears on education—though they’ll lose some of that hedge-fund money. But if 2016 taught Democrats anything, it’s how unwise it was to allow the demolition of organized labor—including teachers’ unions, once a great source of money and grassroots energy. The party needs strong teachers’ unions and it needs their enthusiasm. Interesting. Are any Dems leading the charge here? ravitch posted:Follow the example of Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, who vetoed a bill to expand charters in March. ugh. anyone else? quote:Or Montana Governor Steve Bullock, who insists that charters employ certified teachers, allow them to unionize, and fall under the control of local school districts. Democrats should take their cue from Bullock when he declares, “I continue to firmly believe that our public education system is the great equalizer.”  BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK

if, this time five years ago, you were to tell me that a bot full of template and meme images would, on curation, randomly produce some of the most accurate and on-point memes, i would have laughed in your face. but who's laughing now, huh? who's laughing now?! ...it's still me, because shitpostbot5000 is great.

Remember when 3 or 4 years back, Obama went out and spoke about decreasing unemployment with community college grants/subsidies? Skills, jobs, wages is the exact same thing. It frames the debate as a "skills" problem, not a shortage of jobs - and why "jobs" and not "careers"? - and links 40 years of wage stagnation as a consequence. You would get the wage if you had the good job if you had the "skills." You don't have the skills therefore why should you expect a better job or a better wage? Of course, this is undoubtedly music to the ears of the privatized school movement and to all corporations with an interest in wage suppression.

quote:Obama also asked Congress to direct $1.1 billion to improve vocational and technical education at the secondary-school level. He proposed spending a further $1 billion on high-school "career academies" that train future workers in industries such as health care or information technology. The Democrats are going to retread an Obama era "skills" program and make it the centerpiece of their attempt to win in the next cycle. They have learned nothing.

Oh no there are plenty of jobs, but they're garbage jobs that will still get you evicted at the end of the month because you're getting little hours. There was a good report on the subject a few months ago. I made a post about it but i cant find it now

If you had better skills, a better job and better wage would naturally follow. bedpan has issued a correction as of 02:02 on Jul 22, 2017 |

Usually the Vox podcast is tolerable but they did one on basic income and it's just a one hour rant about how basic income is bad and strict means testing is good

loquacius posted:Yeah guys I dunno, "education is just a way to justify paying people less" is too much of a galaxy-brain take for me the only reason anyone gives a crap about education is because they think getting their kids a good education will put their kids in a higher economic class than they were just look at how people poo poo on the majors that aren't regarded as a ticket to high-paying knowledge work, such as art degrees or english degrees obviously, education is good for its own sake, but no politician gives a poo poo about that. the Dems aren't making it the leading item in their "Better Deal" because they believe everyone should be free to learn anything they want. they're absolutely pitching it as a tool to get better-paying jobs, and nothing else
