m not opposed to trade school, but do believe that something needs to be done to improve K-12 education so it can provide a better balanced curriculum to the kids. More importantly, find a way to keep the kids more engaged and WANTING to learn.
Its going to involve much more money being spent on education. While the Re-Trump-Licans will certainly balk at anything that might be helpful to others, I think the original Republicans (like those from the Lincoln Project) may change there tune somewhat on this topic. After seeing what happens when their party got hijacked by lunatics, perhaps they’ll do some soul searching? I don’t know. Maybe just more wishful thinking on my part.
I’ve never understood why sports take precedence over academia in this country. I mean, I get it - it’s about the money. Which means some people in this country, generally speaking, have (in my opinion) the wrong priorities. As a result, they ignore science class, and misinformation flourishes during a pandemic and lots of people unnecessarily die. I know I’m generalizing, but hope my point is taken.
To be clear, I am an avid soccer and hockey fan - so I also have some culpability in the aforementioned statements.
