Ensuring schools are 'inclusive' can backfire in the classroom



The teachers I’m still in touch with say it’s more even more ****ed up now than ever before.

School is not for everybody.

The good thing about this is that it’s part of a movement that is destroying public schools. The bad part is so many people have to suffer. Kids shouldn’t be forced to spend time with other kids they don’t like. It’s fascist as **** and drives people crazy. Teachers need discretion as to who they let stay in their classrooms. If they can’t be trusted with that authority they shouldn’t be around children anyway. I saw it over and over again where kids with weird ****ed up problems terrorized others and made the environment untenable for everyone. It may not be the kids fault but still it’s stupid to let one kid destroy everything for everybody. There’s no pleasant solution. Life is like that.



Hypocritical ****. She wouldn’t expose herself to these psycho kids (that’s why she quit after one year) and she damn sure wouldn’t have let her own kids be subjected to this ****ing torture.
At my old school system they'd throw the kids with problems in with the retards and just write them off. They didn't even have to be psychos. Just weird. **** teachers.

Yeah I’ve seen my share of that.

I might just forget about education issues since I’m a goddamn cook now anyway

BAGHDAD — Protesters broke into the heavily guarded compound of the United States Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday and set fires inside in anger over American airstrikes that killed 24 members of an Iranian-backed militia over the weekend.
The men did not enter the main embassy buildings and later withdrew from the compound, joining thousands of protesters and militia fighters outside chanting “Death to America,” throwing rocks, covering the walls with graffiti and demanding that the United States withdraw its forces from Iraq.
FLARLY I offer support and solidarity.

Will we, won't we, will we, won't we... I mean we know we will so can we just invade Iran already and stop with the tedious foreplay?

Gotta get the idiocracy reved up for the Super Bowl. I mean the election. I mean the war.

I don't think Trump wants a war. If he was more Machiavellian he might figure out how such a war could work to his benefit. But I don't think he's smart enough to make that kind of calculation.

The Batlord 01-01-2020 03:53 PM
Do you think he's smart enough to keep us out?

jwb 01-01-2020 04:12 PM
I think he scurred.

We got too many wars to fight.

jwb 01-01-2020 04:14 PM
He wants to seem tough but not get into an actual fight. Everything's a "negotiation" to him.

The Batlord 01-01-2020 04:25 PM
It's hard to look tough while looking like you're ducking a war. Obama looked like a bitch for trying to duck Syria. Clinton looked like a bitch for trying to duck Kosovo. There was a whole lot going on that made those wars something the public didn't want but Obama and Clinton still looked like bitches.

OccultHawk 01-01-2020 04:29 PM
No modern American president has ever been afraid to start a war.

The Batlord 01-01-2020 04:33 PM
I just pointed out two instances. Try to keep up.

Yea he could definitely stumble into a war via posturing, also there are people around him who definitely want a war. But his inclination is not to start one but to bluff. You can tell by his answer when the cnn reporter asked him about it he said he doubts Iran really wants a war. If he wanted to hype it up he would do so. Trump isn't once to mince words for the most part.

I mean if he knew how to mince words I'm sure he would. I suspect his bluntness is largely based on him not being good at subtlety. Anyone who lies like he does who was good at subtlety would do it.

I don't think he's trying for a war though, but if he feels like the situation is getting away from him and his only option to save face is to start pounding the podium and demanding the Ayatollah's head on a plate he'd do it in a heartbeat.

Oh I don't think he's against it on principle, I think he sees it as political suicide based on the last couple of wars. He could easily find himself in a position where iran either makes him look weak or he has to put his money where his mouth is.

But as far as revving up for the election. He already has all the reason in the world to cling to this issue and hype it up in order to deflect from impeachment. The fact he would say something that deescalates the tension (that he doesn't believe iran wants war) instead of instantly going into beef mode and doubling down like trump usually does indicates clearly what his preference is. You can see the same thing with regard to NK. Trump has too many potential battles on his hands to be in war mode right now.

I still think there's a very real possibility we get a bombing campaign against Iranian military sites within the year, which will very likely lead eventually to full invasion once the public has mentally shifted from not wanting conflict with Iran to not wanting disengage without victory.

jwb 01-01-2020 05:41 PM
I'm not at all ruling war out as a possibility. I've been worried one would start for a very long time. I'm just speaking with regard to his apparent disposition.

I was just looking up a recent news article about the Baghdad thing and got the best laugh I've had in a while.

"We have issued the order for everyone to withdraw, because America should have received our message," said a spokesman for the main protest group, Kataib Hezbollah, which had been targeted by the US airstrikes.

I mean politics isn't actually the Illuminati, you doofus.

debaserr 01-01-2020 08:49 PM
If Trump wins reelection you can mark it down. There will be a new war to line the pockets of his "friends". War is not an endeavor you embark upon in good faith. It's a method to enrich military contractors and the people that lobby for them.

Smh

He's still thinking he can win the primaries while trying to appeal to independents and moderates on every other issue besides ubi

It's Bernie or nothing as far as what the Democrats have to offer

debaserr 01-03-2020 12:48 AM
Yep, I really don't see anyone else as "electable".

Trump was electable and he raped his ex wife.
