What an awful liar. His weird facial gestures while the question is being asked, followed by stuttering. And finally deny and deflect.

Thatโ€™s awful. Iโ€™ve always wondered what it old be like to teach in a blue state. Congratulations on your retirement!

Indiana has increased options for graduation as well, but none have to do with improving education. High school students who are not college bound are directed into work/study situations. Thatโ€™s not improving education, thatโ€™s providing local businesses with minimum wage help during the school day.

โ€œMDE attributes the increased rates overall to โ€œquality instructional support from dedicated teachers across the state, increased options for meeting graduation requirements, and an increase of students completing Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs.โ€

Iโ€™m a skeptic. Iโ€™m also a teacher in a red state, and I donโ€™t believe the quality of education has changed or improved. Legislators do everything else to fudge the numbers. The following quote from the article is tellingโ€ฆ

I just read the comment โ€œreligion is the backbone of the patriarchy โ€œ on another thread, and that made a lot of sense to me.

The Newsweek article describes her as his 26 y.o. longtime executive assistant. Longtime? Sheโ€™s only been a legal adult for 8 yearsโ€ฆBut they do like their female subordinates young.

An interesting piece of driftwood featuring curves and knobs. The background shows white cap waves on Lake Michigan and the mid ground shows sand, with darker lines caused by the waves.
