Youāre going to have to explain, Iām old and clueless.
Ok. You only proved further you donāt rate your own people that highly. You call them the common man in need of hand outs.
When I was a kid, an adult said to me that Italians are just n words turned inside out. I didnāt get it, and still donāt get it, but I knew it was racist against blacks and Italians.
I donāt want this, and for you to insinuate it is pretty fucked. Feel free not to tag me.
Dude, CA is turning you into a snowflake. I wonāt tag you or respond to your posts, ever.
I think he was just joking.
So itās not just me.
At least they spoke to you in english, and not in some gibberish version of eye-talian.
Heās a very oppressed white male, please be sensitive.
I was referring to the article from Texas.
So, would you like a choice in what you (hypothetical) or your children learn, or would you like that choice removed.
I mean, I have a ton of respect for the mountains Martin Luther King jr. moved, but I also know that the time for learning essentials is limited for high school/young adults before the stakes become very real.
So Iād want my son learning hard essentials, financial literacy, etc. BEFORE he spends time on what comes down to being personal enrichment.
Should those subjects be a choice? Absolutely.
Should they be mandatory? Absolutely not.
A choice, always a choice. Iād love for my child to be exposed to a ton of information, he/she will be an academic weapon.
That does remind me though, I do like how Ron Desantis signed that financial literacy bill, but American history on all levels is pretty important too. We learn history so that we donāt make the same mistakes again.
My dad used to say that all the time! 
There were a couple kerfuffle over that one though.
If a graduate of an American high school knows nothing about MLK, the civil rights movement, womenās suffrage and other supposedly too sensitive for old white men historical facts, then they are uneducated.
A lot of them are anyways, even knowing these things.
What are our scores in the US compared to other nations? Somewhere between abysmal and atrocious?
Edit: But for the record, I agree. They should be (and are, to my knowledge) incorporated into social studies curricula.
That depends. Some countries are dishonest when it comes to the international testing. In the US, if we look at individual states, some states, like MA, are competitive with high scoring nations. Some states, like FL, are comparable to underdeveloped nations.
But how does FL compare to Ark or Ala?
Thatās certainly odd.
Once again, priority.
Kid might think general relativity has to do with which cousins are ok and which ones will make funny looking babies, but he can rob a convenience store of all its bud light with nothing more than a pack of marlboros and a small aligator.
Just cuz it aint on the test doesnāt mean he dumb. Yehaw.
I am more oppressed.
What color is your Bugatti?
Education at a young age is about parental involvement. Education as you get older is about how much you put into it.
I am a product of MS / TN schools and I turned out pretty solid.
