    One thing never talked about, public school enrollment has been crashing for a few years. It's not getting any better and the schools are confused. They say, "covid is over, why are they still homeschooling or choosing private schools"? Meanwhile they're too busy implementing DEI to investigate the mystery.

    • @MrDj232
      @MrDj232 6 місяців тому

      They're not surprised. The objections to school choice programs is that they'll take money away from public schools. They know people won't choose public schools if there's another affordable option. COVID just sent enough kids home that parents found a way to make these alternatives affordable.

      Late 80's I entered the electrical trade through Co-Op in High School. Tradesmen in S. Ontario would only hire guys on as labourers, never putting you on apprenticeship. This was protectionism because they held the power and didn't want new guys getting their ticket and becoming competition. Work was scarce outside the GTA and unless you bowed and scraped and did favours you could labour for years. This imo created the trades shortage we've never recovered from. I moved on and also raise my middle finger to those greedy short sighted fools.
      It worked out okay, I got into high tech by the mid 90s and something else in early 00's and I retired at 49.

Was it easy? Hell, no. Did it build my character? You bet. Did it forge friendships with those other dudes that will never be broken? You bet your ass, it did.

    Everything else aside, recording a TikTok rant and posting it to the Internet doesn’t really mean this person is spending more time doing that than attempting to improve their situation. I mean, I know you’re not being entirely serious, but the rant took a couple minutes, it’s not really an indicator of their priorities.
    As for the school boards, I’m torn. It’s been a long time since I wasn’t horrified by anything a school board did, and there are creativity questionable motives here, but at the same time, they’re right. Social media is inarguably harmful to pretty much everyone, so any blow struck to it is a positive.

      As to schools...they lamented TV on the 60s and 70 as stupifying kids, BUT TV was not being watched in class, in study hall, at lunch, in assemblies and on the bus.....tawdry social media is.
      Also TV had only a hour or so of after dinner shows interesting to kids and 3 channels. There was typically an hour after school show for rainy days, then news, then kid comedies or light juvinile dramas, before parents said do your homework and go to bed.

    I would be totally okay with the school board with banning phones in school or having to turn them in at the start of the day/class.
    We struggled to keep the kids off devices before the pandemic and pretty well folded like a house of cards when they were all stuck inside for 2 years.
    If ALL the kids at a school are forced off their phones, they might actually have a conversation with each other.

    • @aPaulingNews
      @aPaulingNews  6 місяців тому

      I think it came from companies not meant to be using minimum wage adopting it. For instance, a taxi driver, waiter were (are) traditional min wage jobs for young people and immigrants. But no strike/no union states have enabled big companies to pay min wages for formerly expensive unionized work.

    One of the things the bosses at my job like the most about me is that I'm 100% willing to admit when I make a mistake (no matter how small it is), and that I take full responsibility then apologize for it.
    Its one of the reasons why they trust me so much that they know they can leave a new hire with me to train without supervision.
    One of the first things I tell the new hires I train is: "never be afraid to admit a mistake to me or any of the supervisors/managers, as long as you acknowledge what's happened, take responsibility for it, apologize and show a willingness to learn from it you'll be forgiven".

    To teach is to manage a triage: 1/3 of students are independent; they just need check-ins. 1/3 are a loss before they step into the classroom; we just let them have their phones. It is the middle 1/3, most of whom could go either way, we focus on. I've worked in schools that allowed phones and banned phones. The triage is fairly consistent across schools, but I'd rather work in a school that has a collective effort to severely limit phones during instruction.
