everyone pay attention to abbott ruining public education, public universities are next and will be hit much harder 

 

UT is already turning the corner on this. I’m super disappointed in Hartzell. The BOR fundamentally wants to change the university.  Civitas Institute just the beginning.

In 2019, the Regents established a $167 million endowment at UT Austin to completely cover tuition and mandatory fees for in-state undergraduate students from families with an AGI of up to $65,000, and with support to alleviate much of tuition costs for families earning up to $125,000. In 2022, the Regents doubled down with a second endowment of almost $300 million – collectively called “Promise Plus” – to extend the program to all UT academic institutions

Cyfair ISD 6-10th grade students were given a survey this week to ask if they wanted to take a Health class. The results, which will likely be a majority of "no", will likely be used to argue to eliminate the class. Yay democracy! 

It's a shame we don't have some department that sets standards for this kind of thing at a national level to ensure basic understanding of important subjects for all high school graduates. Oh well, I'm sure the Internet will teach them.

Why do you presume it would be a “no”?  This was 30 years ago, but when I was in school everyone was pretty excited to take health because we had so little formal education on the subject matter otherwise.

Because if you ask most kids, "do you want more classes" they will generally answer no. We also have a huge issue with teen pregnancy in Texas, and a lack of sex ed is a root cause of it. 

Besides that it's idiotic to ask kids to pick their core curriculum. Heath class is a broad subject that should be taught. This isn't an art class where you can choose your favorite instrument or form of art.

Why bother listening to nurses and doctors when Google can tell you what to tell them what you need?

Yeah…..

i just wish I had that when I was in school.

I thought I was a freak due to my girthy 12” dong, penchant for choking girls during sex, and throwing 7 or 8 long ropes all over my step sisters face.

Had the internet been around I would have realized I was not a freak.
