This guy needed a study to tell him absenteeism is directly connected to student’s struggling. THIS IS GOVERNMENT! We’re talking about it. We are having conferences. But your not DOING ANYTHING!! The government should have NO CONTROL over education
It's, "YOU'RE not doing anything," not YOUR. It's a contraction for the words, "YOU ARE not doing anything."
@@DonnaBrooks I KNOW THIS!! Lol. I keep doing this!! This is the second time I ve been called out on this in two weeks. (Full disclosure the first time was spell check).
Is he going to actually answer any of the questions ? What happened with FAFSA is not excusable. He should be fired !
27:24 I'm a progressive & have had a long-term mental illness & I do NOT agree that we need mental health services in our schools. The mental health field has been too captured by Left-wing identitarian ideologies that affirm a child's every whim, confuse them about sex & gender, convince them they are victims, sometimes cause them to see parents or people not like them as their enemies, & actually contribute to the mental illness of children. NATURE EDUCATION programs that get kids out in the REAL world, where they can learn about biodiversity, move & get exercise, sunshine, & fresh air, & learn to be good stewards of nature (NOT "activists"!) would do SO much more for student's mental & physical health than talking with pandering, enabling, trans ideology indoctrinated, catastrophizing, & agenda-driven "mental health professionals" who are too quick to medicalize children. Teaching them practical skills, from changing a car's oil to sewing on a button would also give them lifelong skills that will make them more self-reliant & improve their management of resources (including saving money, reducing pollution, & wasting less). People need to feel like they can DO things and HANDLE things. Mental health professionals are also too quick to medicalize children for normal adolescent experiences. I'm especially concerned about the overuse of prescription drugs. I realize only a psychiatrist can prescribe drugs, not school counselors or psychologists, but the latter can convince children and/or parents that the child NEEDS drugs. Big Pharma & cosmetic surgeons do not have our children's best interest at heart when there is money to be made off them!
27:39 There was a time when I supported making higher education free to deserving students. However, universities have become indoctrination centers for woke ideologies. If I had kids, I wouldn't want them to go to college today. I'd tell them to go backpack around the world & learn about other cultures & countries & languages through real world experience & travel. That would also build competence & confidence. THEN, after doing that for a year or more, they'll be more mature. Also, DEI guarantees that the most deserving students aren't necessarily going to get free education, but the students who check off artificial "diversity" boxes. It seems like colleges today are interested in every type of diversity except diversity of thought. They tell students WHAT to think rather than teaching them HOW to think critically, be cautious of biased sources, question if they are in an information bubble, etc. Last, but not least, we need more respect for people who work in the trades, which means that we shouldn't be paying for students to attend overpriced indoctrination centers (which are now proving to be anti-Semitic, too, as well as politically polarizing) when we could be providing free higher education at trade & vocational schools where people are able to become electricians, carpenters, auto mechanics, appliance repair technicians, etc. People with no interest in academia need to have options, too, to practice a trade or become self-employed.

TELL EM SENATOR MANCHIN!!!! These people are so frigging CLUELESS about the real world.
The Obiden administration says
We take this very seriously!
There is an ongoing investigation!
That's why we need more money!
Joke never gets anything done!
27:24 "Getting all students to read by 3rd grade" is a goal?? Why aren't kids reading in FIRST grade?? We had reading books when I was in 1st grade! Some kids had Dick, Jane, & Spot. We had Jimmy, Sue, & Pepper. It's wasn't _War & Peace_, but we were taught reading & if you weren't literate enough to read at 2nd grade level, YOU DIDN'T PASS!! What kind of goal is it to have kids read by THIRD grade? Read what? News articles? The encyclopedia? Or Jimmy, Sue, & Pepper? Why such low expectations?
Beginning control first, then the nonsense of real edu cation. They don't have enough mo ney for "their" curriculum 🎉and ❤teaching actual life necessities. This will con tinue until we st op all owing the garb age in put into our children. God Bless
Where'd the comments go ???
Candona talks about working together to resolve issues as it is the children need to sign a new agreement with antisemitism clause 😊
