Education (Not Just UT)

Frisco ISD in effort to increase enrollment in their public schools will offer open enrollment to kids living outside Frisco starting i 2025/26 school year.
 
What the system really needs, for the kids' sake, is kindness.

There's intellectual development, and then there's whole-human development.

I wonder if what is happening in Plano is happening in Frisco. Plano has been losing enrollment, and I suspect that it's because the city simply isn't very family-friendly anymore Housing is far too expensive for most families, and the push to build a crapload of apartments and condos makes the city less desireable even for those who can afford a house.
 
Mr D. one factor is geographics limits. As the Metroplex creeps north the former far north surburbs have been limited with new farther north burbs. Frisco is one. HUGE growth until that growth expanded beyond them
Plano would have been smart to do the open enrollment years ago. Plano ISD was the best. then
 
Michael Sandel.

This guy is a roughly center-left (old school Moderate Democrat type) at Harvard. He has about a few dozen of these videos where he lectures on how the classic (and modern) philosophers formed the bases for what most think about morality and ethics. Not "political" in a left-right Dem/Rep sort of sense. You can tell he doesn't like Utilitarians or Libertarians though.

An "entertaining" watch for such an academic subject. Worth a look, he has many more--this series of YouTube lectures is apparently very popular in Europe and Asia.

Is this a required class? If not, it's just an exercise in self-flagellation for the guilt brought on by brainwashing.

But still not one that ANY tax dollars, State OR federal, should be applied towards. Classes, and we use that term in the loosest way possible, like that should ONLY exist if they are wholly self-supporting, to include the costs of faculty and facility.

Hopefully no class is subsidized by the government, but I can't say they aren't. Even if tuition covered this class 100%, a Democratic President would pass it on to us when he/she/they forgive the student loan debt.

And people wonder why teachers aren't paid more. This is exactly why I favor the abolishment of the DOE. We send billions in tax dollars for them to waste it all on garbage.

I'm also in favor of elimination of a minimum of 50% of the average school districts administration. They mostly do nothing but create a reason for their jobs to exist and limit the effectiveness of what goes on in the classrooms.
 
I vaguely recall UT saying similar trips and/or efforts will be funded with private dollars.

More than likely he found out what History teachers make in Navasota and Hearn, and the Chairman of the Math Dept at aTm explained to him that a year's salary wasn't enough to make two payments on his house, he got some religion and good learnin real fast.
