President Joe Biden - Kamala Harris Administration

I guess I should be happy that you are sad because it is an admission that you view teaching as relevant and impactful on society.
I've always seen the irony in the many on the right who degrade the teaching profession out of one side of their mouth while bemoaning the negative effects of the educational system on society out of the other side.
I'm guessing you guys can't fully appreciate that irony.

But no need to be sad. When I had the honor and privilege of teaching kids, I followed my favorite Einstein quote:
“Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of minds to think.”
In fact, it's a poster I always encourage new teachers to place in their classroom.
I have seen many students, many adults, and a whole lot of people in the PF, who knew plenty of facts but could not think their way out of a wet paper bag.
It was never more evident than in my first venture into the 2a thread. I was amazed at the amount of factual knowledge coupled with the complete inability to think.
Einstein had a notoriously poor memory. When asked how it was that he could not know his own phone number, Einstein replied,
"Never memorize something that you can look up.”

Today it is even worse, we are now surrounded by non-thinkers who are only memorizing alternative facts.

Come down from on top junior, there are more degrees hanging in my house than yours, I would believe.

I don’t have a problem with the profession of education, I have problem with so many currently taking up space in it.
 
Nice court attire. I would have been compelled to come across the court room if she said that about my daughter. Sad thing is she will be hailed as a hero by some.

We will see. Feminists take a very hard line view of people blaming the victim for rape. Feminists tend to be a vocal demographic in media and politics.

No need to have a degree battle sparky.
And there is not much significance in the outcome anyway.
I've seen my share of highly degreed idiots and non-degreed thinkers.

Nobody degrades the teaching profession only those that have no business being in it.

Eh ... at one time, yes. As the political climate has changed, not so much and the media wouldn’t display it anyway unless it fit their agenda of the moment. I don’t recall the feminists stepping up like Mighty Casey at the bat to support and defend Amy Cohen Barrett when she was getting drug through the mud and dressed down like she was pond scum, if they were the media sure didn’t display it. Also didn’t see too many feminists in the media coming to Biden’s sexual assault accuser’s aid either. I’m sure some are out there, but it’s not like they are getting air time.

The sh!t show is an allusion,
The gas issue is just a prime example of how you guys are being played.

Good grief you are insufferably ignorant, and haven't bought groceries or anything for that matter in the last few months. Let me guess at your particular store prices are actually lower for your family

Bought both gas and groceries yesterday. Used my Kroger card - gave me .50 off per gallon. Sweet.
I would love for gas prices to go down.
But on my list of priorities, it's just not at the top.
 
I wish the Republicans would introduce a bill changing the tax code so that you could index your final 2021 taxable income to the 2021 inflation rate and deduct that amount when figuring your tax. Make the Democrats go on record opposing THAT.

Isn’t it wonderful to be comfortable enough to shrug off 15 to 20% price rises on basic economic necessities? I am sure everyone else, especially those living paycheck to paycheck also enjoys that same luxury.

I'm sure they don't.
I'm sure they never have.
I'm sure they never will.

I'm also sure it's not at the top of their priority list.

A pretty asinine statement on your part.
