Kinda seems like a more extreme example of something that's been around for a while. Calling these places a gym is a stretch. Around here they're called "lifestyle fitness clubs" and while yeah, they have all the stuff you'd expect to see at a gym it's really just a place to network/cheat on your spouse. Most gyms don't have bars lol

what is subject matter jurisdiction

literally an entire class in law school

but fed courts can only hear cases that some statue says they can hear. so if you complain about something that isn’t within the courts statutory scope, they can’t hear it . like literally will not hear it

this does not include the Supreme Court which is not a “federal court”

Socrates posted:

I heard, then, that at Naucratis, in Egypt, was one of the ancient gods of that country, the one whose sacred bird is called the ibis, and the name of the god himself was Theuth. He it was who invented numbers and arithmetic and geometry and astronomy, also draughts and dice, and, most important of all, letters.

Now the king of all Egypt at that time was the god Thamus, who lived in the great city of the upper region, which the Greeks call the Egyptian Thebes, and they call the god himself Ammon. To him came Theuth to show his inventions, saying that they ought to be imparted to the other Egyptians. But Thamus asked what use there was in each, and as Theuth enumerated their uses, expressed praise or blame, according as he approved or disapproved.

"The story goes that Thamus said many things to Theuth in praise or blame of the various arts, which it would take too long to repeat; but when they came to the letters, “This invention, O king,” said Theuth, “will make the Egyptians wiser and will improve their memories; for it is an elixir of memory and wisdom that I have discovered.” But Thamus replied, “Most ingenious Theuth, one man has the ability to beget arts, but the ability to judge of their usefulness or harmfulness to their users belongs to another; and now you, who are the father of letters, have been led by your affection to ascribe to them a power the opposite of that which they really possess.

"For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise."

federal courts in particular can't hear most matters other than for VERY specific things (disputes concerning actual federal laws or disputes between people in different states mostly) and will kick you out to your local state court

the Supreme Court is absolutely a federal court but it has its own even more archaic rules

yeah I agree but I think we already have the technology and productive capacity to the point where inherited neurological differences don't need to matter at all for Life Outcomes, and spending lots of time and resources studying and discussing them isn't terribly useful, and if anything it has a dangerous tendency to be appropriated by Nazis

my point would be that the inherited neurological differences are actual quite detrimental to functioning normally in society and very often the kids that have them very much need help most especially the minority ones.

they also very much do not fit into our systems designed to get kids help like IEPs, and often end up jammed into the emotional disturbance category.

also when they are mishandled and not given help the results can be spectacular. when educational systems are designed for a specific progression, deviations from the progression even ones considered positive are very much a problem and tremendous pain in the rear end.

Whatever help might be offered to kids with ADHD, nonverbal learning disability or whatever is not going to be forthcoming given the ideology of education in America specifically but all of the western nations steadily breaking the social contract under neoliberalism. Identifying those kids now, with the attitudes that exist and more importantly the basic incentive structure is just going to single them out as lost causes. That's without getting into the stuff about class and race - as others have said, the solution to "why are (poor) black students struggling?" has never and will never be "spend more money on their public schooling" let alone, "increase social spending generally to improve material conditions at home", so all you get is a new iteration skull measurements proving Irish criminality or whatever.

Our current education system isn't really set up to produce outcomes any more advanced than technically giving kids somewhere to be while their parents are at work. Some like 10% of the kids will end up getting a degree in something that lets them get a professional-class job and the rest will either end up in the service/retail death spiral or get a cushy job through personal connections. Expecting anything more advanced than daycare from US schooling is borderline utopian

Eroding material circumstances are deffo loving the kids up and the teachers are the only ones positioned to even notice the behavioral shift

yeah, this

anecdotally, in the late 90s, the difference I personally experienced between a well-funded public school and the public school I had to move to in middle school meant things like:

-- no more metal or woodshop classes (did my first spot weld at age 11)
-- no more home ec classes that literally taught me how to cook
-- no more broad-topic mechanical classes (they called it "technology" but it was like, how different shapes affect structural integrity, how aerodynamics work for both air and ground vehicles, etc and all super hands on learning, like I'll never forget an assignment/class competition to make a cardboard packaging structure that could withstand the most PSI, and our projects were then put into a giant vice crusher thing that we used to see how many PSI we could apply before they crumpled)
-- no more budget for encouraging kids to get into academic competitions, nor any such competitions
-- no more focus on learning things like using word processors or spreadsheets or presentation software (which, while stupid, was one more thing that helped me remain employed during the late 00s and still further my career)

in return for those losses, I got a bunch of burnout teachers with 30+ student classrooms

since then, things have gotten so vastly worse between have and have-not school systems, especially with conservative shitlords making sure that only private christian schools/for-profit charter schools get funding at the expense of public schools, and shitlibs being the ineffectual whores-of-capital they were born and love to be

imo it's really hard to grasp just how hosed the vast majority of kids are in america if you haven't already seen the effects of wealth disparity on school systems firsthand, as a student or a teacher, in no small part thanks to rich media failkids who think they're journalists spitting out whatever capital shoves up their assholes

it's not the kids' fault, it's the fault of capital/this demon cracker nation and its awful, awful, awful capital-captured leadership
