Almost all of my middling class coworkers (~$60k a year) waste thousands of dollars sending their kids to private schools. It blows my mind. Throwing thousands a year at poo poo schools because you really just want to keep your kids away from those BLACK PEOPLE in public schools. Even though your kids are dumb as you are and all this money could have been saved for their first semester of college when they drop out and you won't shut the gently caress up about it. In fact, most of them moved out of the state because the public schools suck and they can avoid property taxes. gently caress you.

from what i heard is they try various different methods to teach people math. I was always bad at math and my teachers at least in high school never helped me(other then one teacher) and i was in loving "alternative" math for dumbasses. so maybe it could have helped me. thankfully i am done with math in education and will probably never need it again.

As someone who scored literally nearly retarded in math during his schooling entirely because I never understood it and my teachers just repeated 'have you tried re-reading the material' when I asked for help (also because I admit I'm v. dumb in non-statistics math) I'm probably ok with the evil federal government's plot to maybe try to teach math in a different method sometimes.

The committee approved her 12 to 11, she still has to pass the senate as a whole.

Murkowski could have voted no in committee, or this morning but didn't. It's all smoke and mirrors, she was never in any danger.

Rest assured that if a republican senator dropped dead 10 minutes before the vote, Murkowski and Collins would draw straws to see who would have to vote her through.

Arguments for Betsy DeVos are supposed to go all night. The final vote is supposed to happen tomorrow. The Senate is split 50 50, so Pence will be the tie breaker. Unless a miracle happens*
