Eh as long as you support the arts and music we can do away with sports.

I was always amazed how in my advanced classes everyone came prepared, had studied the material, done the homework, were attention and we blew through textbooks full of advanced material. Then I'd go to normal classes where the teacher spent half the class going over material some kids didn't bother doing at home and the rest of class babysitting the kids who had no desire to be there and just wanted to act out or talk or whatever else. Got nowhere fast.
We also had a hearing impaired girl who was a smart chick but whenever we read out loud in this history class we had to pass around this microphone thing of hers. Seems like zero issue but it was enough to make that class run over about five minutes everyday. Those are things you just kind of have to with though.
"they cancelled the football program, why is the stadium still there?"
"marching band. audience attendance is mandatory"
I'm all for free birth control for all and an over abundance of sex edu starting well before puberty. My abortion comment earlier was tongue and cheek but if people would get on board with those first two items I think the third would become a rare occurrence.
Yeah but the first step is getting people to wrap their minds around the idea that improving things costs money. This was what I was getting at with "do the schools better". It takes thought and evidence-based action as well as money.

"Hey we fucked up the gov't vote for us so we can fuck it up some more." I feel your anger.
You mentioned the violence in cities earlier: I posted a really interesting article in the Butt Mustard thread recently about the correlation of leaded gas with violence that I think you would enjoy reading.
As well as if the school is equipped to deal with those issues, as brony said.
That seems like it might forgo lots of other important aspects of education and areas he(?) might be interested in? Schools shouldn't be job training.
Our schools are often also very poorly equipped to handle the highly-intelligent. Pretty much anyone outside a narrow "norm".
You clearly don't understand how a charter school works.
A charter school has a focus on a specific topic like art, dance, engineering, core, etc.
Yeah baby boomers grew up with lead poisoning because the oil companies paid scientists to lie. It's no wonder they fucked the country so hard then blame millennials for not thanking them when we're the ones paying off their childhoods.

Robert Kehoe lied. Clair Patterson risked his career and his life to expose that lie.
Today fossil fuel companies pay the smattering of scientists left willing to lie about climate change to convince conservatives coal is clean.

Have you considered that putting a 5yo on a job track might not be the best idea?

It's not a job track and I'll let you ask her in a few years when you're working for her. STEM schools are focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. It's not a trade school.
