Families need education options now more than ever. Education Week just reported that 85 percent of the largest 20 school districts in the U.S. aren't beginning the school year with any in-person instruction. According to the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, most of the nation's 120 largest school districts intend to begin the school year without any in-person instruction.

So it's welcome news that Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) is introducing a bill to redirect federal K–12 education dollars to fund families directly. This would be a great step toward putting the needs of kids and parents before the needs of the public school monopoly.

Remote learning was a disaster for too many families this spring. A recent analysis found that only 1 in 3 school districts even required teachers to deliver instruction.

Looks like it's catching on:

We go FULL time next Monday!!! I'm fucking pumped. Light at the end of the tunnel at least in my neck of the woods.

If you're in a place that won't open regular full time next fall, move. Now. Crime is and will be going up. 13-17 year olds with no structure and shit parents are going to really start making life miserable. For the flu. I'm saying this even if you don't have kids.

The amount of car jackings and shootings on Chicago expressways and nice neighborhoods is laughable. I love Chicago, but I don't see myself going downtown for another year or two until this gets sorted out. Only the airports.

It's getting shady in the good areas now and much of that is due to no structure for young boys and even young girls. They have nothing to do and if you know inner city kids of any race, they're not doing school work from home. Idle time leads to bad things at high school ages. Hence why schools need to open to full capacity.

Damn near 20% of CPS students don't even graduate. In one of the most violent crime cities in the country. Take away school and the situation is going to get ugly. Most graduates are barely literate or able to even read as well. Hence my continued push to get out of cities.

Public schools in the large cities are turning more into daycare indoctination camps for blacks and hispanics every year.

Elementary students went back this week in the PRoB. Hats off to those who made it happen.

That wouldn’t be so bad if they were programming the kids to be good citizens. Instead they’re making them into entitled little thugs with a victimhood complex. Education? Not sure that’s even on the table.
Thing is: if those inner city kids were to receive a good education and get learned up to the best of their (somewhat limited) ability, then taught a trade, they’d be set for being good workers instead of a drain upon society and more fodder for the prison complex. Since this isn’t happening, I suspect that the intention is to create an underclass of criminals and deadbeats for the productive working class to despise instead of criticizing their oligarch masters.

Somebody has to be the one to pee in the bottle at Amazon warehouses.

They are steadily being replaced by droids.

Why do they need 'droids to pee in bottles?
