If the pendulum does indeed start swinging the other way, the real losers could be those who actually have a clinically recognized disability. 'Life is hard' isn't one of them.
too true, but it would be good to see the assisted living centres re-open the specialist schools so as to provide a better education path. The current process, at least here in Ontario, of integration doesn't help anyone.
I for one would not be condoning something along those lines.
Fully agreed. My older son has a disability and we pulled him from school after he finished grade 8 as he was by then, being shoved through and not learning a f-ing thing. As we homeschool him, giving him lots of hands on, he has gained many valuable experiences. Some of high school would have been useful but many subjects such as history, geography, french, etc he wouldn't see the purpose of and would not participate in.
The thing is we all knew pre-woke era that racist, prejudicial and bigoted slurs were socially wrong. It didn't take the woke movement for lack of a better term, to tell us that. If we follow our moral compasses, we all know what to do.
100% true about vocational schools adding solid value to society, a great path of individuals to move onto community colleges and the trade programmes that used to exist or still do today.
You know how many times I was anxious about drill and parades? Every damn time, especially as the RSM where you and the WOs are the SMEs.
Actually it is used in automotive engines where the spark has to be retarded at some point - mostly used in classic cars.
Pretty sure there was no real anxiety. He just didn’t want to do the tasking. And that had follow on consequences.
Had a parent tell me last night, how he yanked both of his sons from the Public School system into a Catholic school, because they were telling his 6 year old that he was racist, about trans and gender theory and light on the proper school stuff. For his 9 year old, he is already seeing an improvement in his math from the private school. The funny thing is that they are mixed blood from Brazil, so not much "White privilege" there.
and the majority were not racist, prejudiced or bigoted. There were only a few and those few still exist in spite of wokeness. What it has done is make everyone afraid to get into a frank discussion.
Yes - agreed. We had one who played the race card quite often, despite the fact she was incompetent, not too bright and lazy. She went to the Federales, failed the training and tried to get back on with us.
