Burt Sexual posted:Your seem drunk, but what what was this degree, and at what institution? I don't know the person she's talking about, but I go to a public university in New York state and know a few people who were screwed over when the standards changed about two years ago and suddenly they'd taken classes that no longer count toward their degree or they were almost finished just to discover they had another semester or two worth of classes to take now to complete the requirements. The school refused to grandfather everyone who had started under the old requirements in. I applied to graduate this semester just to discover the math and English classes I'd taken at my old school didn't transfer and they hadn't bothered to tell me. The math class didn't transfer because even though the school offers several classes on statistics, the classes they offer apply to specific fields and mine didn't, so it doesn't count.

Crakkerjakk posted:Could any of you recommend a link to where I can read why exactly charter schools are poo poo in great detail, preferably with common pro-charter school counterarguments being debunked? 1) charters were created to cut costs, to do more with less. charters do less with less. the biggest problem in public education is under-valuing teachers, paying them little, constantly cutting their salaries and benefits, then expecting them to do more. so experienced teachers leave the field and people that otherwise would enter education decide it's not worth the stress. charters pay their teachers less and the quality of teachers reflects this. 2) charters were meant to starve public schools, and they do by siphoning students away. 3) charters are inherently less democratic in their management and oversight.

really the problem with public education is obvious to anyone who has ever taught, and the poo poo you hear in the media or from politicians reflects a complete misunderstanding of the problem. it's a deep rooted idea in our society that teaching is easy and anyone can do it. (it's not easy, and it has an incredibly steep learning curve to boot.) it's a conservative culture that has contempt for public education and public educators. "i wish i had summers off and x-weeks vacation built into my job." how many people have you heard say this bullshit before? a school's best resource is and always will be a highly qualified, experienced teacher. want good schools? pay teachers a lot more, including and especially special education and ESL teachers. give teachers more prep time. radically revamp teaching programs into paid apprenticeships and invest heavily in training teachers in best practices. magically, without the need for whatever the gently caress program or curricula pearson is hocking, you'll get well educated happy students and happy teachers.

It all comes down to investing more into public schools but everyone in a community will demand change then whine and moan when someone suggests tax increases to fund them. This has led to lots of towns trying to innovate their way out of problems by spending on a rotating clown show of new administrators. They cost double a highly qualified teacher and leave for federal or university jobs once they have enough experience for a resume in four or five years. Doesn't help charter schools siphoning funding and learning disabled kids then sending the kid back to public schools claiming "woops we don't have the resources" to provide for their special needs. Conveniently keeping the funds

part of it is that resources aren't distributed by need even when a rich people school and a poor people school have equal funding, that's not nearly enough. the poor school needs more funding because the rich school's students have access to far more out-of-school services and support, and the poor school tends to have more kids with special needs though ultimately, school funding and school quality is a distraction from the real problem, which is that poverty out of school is wrecking kids lives and disrupting their school performance as well

However, I've met several credentialed teachers who left the US for the international school circuit because they can actually afford to live and it turns out some cultures actually treat teachers with respect, so they aren't going back anytime soon! There was a goon here who used to work in Las Vegas and she busted her rear end getting troubled black students to shape up and getting accepted into college. Apparently, she left to teach in the Middle East because her admin didn't like her helping out "those" kids. Admins are loving scum.

https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1149275182487539714quote:Agency officials credited the administration’s decision to stop routinely opening systemic probes that might turn up patterns of bias. In June 2017, the acting director of the department’s Office for Civil Rights told her staff they no longer had to review three years of cases similar to the complaint that was being investigated — a process that had been used to find systemic bias. The agency said at the time the move would help shrink the backlog and more quickly resolve cases. "Child Z's complaint of being bullied has no relationship to B - Y's complaints of being bullied reported at school 123. Case closed!"

Hundreds of people lost wages or tax refunds because of the collection practice, while thousands of others were hit with negative marks on their credit reports. Some people who lost wages told attorneys that their utilities were cut off or they faced eviction. As recently as December the Education Department still tried to collect money people did not owe.
