Federally illegal, some states make it "legal", but they actually can't do that because federal restrictions overrule states
Much like how you can't make it "OK" to smoke pot in your own house, legally You can say it is, and not enforce the government's law against pot in your house But the government can kick your door in and enforce it themselves
To be completely fair, I think there is SOMETHING to the gateway effect You're unlikely to go straight to like, crystal meth I'd think
But I dunno, I think it's mostly down to it all being illegal to begin with, meaning there's overlap in the people involved You go to get pot, the guy asks if you wanna try this other thing

>No Hungry Kids Act >The bill repeals a specified rule that established certain nutrition standards for the national school lunch and breakfast programs.

To let schools save on money by buying cheap, unhealthy food for their provided meals!
>Choices in Education Act of 2017 >This bill repeals the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 and limits the authority of the Department of Education (ED) such that ED is authorized only to award block grants to qualified states. >The bill establishes an education voucher program, through which each state shall distribute block grant funds among local educational agencies (LEAs) based on the number of eligible children within each LEA's geographical area. From these amounts, each LEA shall: (1) distribute a portion of funds to parents who elect to enroll their child in a private school or to home-school their child, and (2) do so in a manner that ensures that such payments will be used for appropriate educational expenses. >To be eligible to receive a block grant, a state must: (1) comply with education voucher program requirements, and (2) make it lawful for parents of an eligible child to elect to enroll their child in any public or private elementary or secondary school in the state or to home-school their child.
i guess devos is really doin it
Anno
Rest in pieces, the American public education system.
it was already pretty bad to be fair i guess if you get rid of everything altogether, later when someone fixes it, they can do so without having to worry about old garbage
I think this will destroy a lot of children's education, so we'll probably have a lot of uneducated people. But in maybe 8-12 years, this might pave the way to a good education system.
>>37709 You say RIP when something dies, not when it has been dead f0r 20+ years.
>>37710 The philosophy for the past few decades has been "no child left behind". Common core is similar, it concentrates on trying to help the worst students catch up to the best students.
For our education system to really thrive, we need to be more realistic and to promote the smart ones forward and teach the dumb ones life skills.
>>37712 It's been in an absolutely abhorrent state for quite some time.
Anno
It hasn't been dead yet. In pieces and full of flaws does not equate to dead. There's no flawless public education system out there.
Anno
Hell, I don't think there's ANY flawless education system out there.
But getting rid of the ESEA gets rid of all sorts of important things and protections Among them, title I, which helps poor kids go to school ESL programs Programs for autistic and special needs kids Programs that ensure disabled children are getting quality education Also it gets rid of the requirement that school curriculums needs to be evidence-based.
I think there's a lot of junk that is bogging down the education system, but I don't think that getting rid of everything without a replacement is necessarily the solution. The bill eliminates all federal oversight of education nationwide so that all education is completely state-based. I don't know if the states are prepared to handle that and what happens to the kids that are losing those programs that allow them to attempt to succeed?
>>37715 American students were a lot more competitive with other countries when education was solely handled by the states. There's no doubt that the Republicans are trying to go back to that.
Anno
>>37718 I figure it means all those Bible Belt states are skipping with joy now.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>37718 The federal government says that schools have to use evidence-based curricula to teach The bill makes it so the federal government has no power other than to give money to schools
>>37719 I honestly don't care whether it's federal or state-based. I just don't think it's a good idea to get rid of everything without anything to ease the transition. I do think that education would be better if the states had power over it, but I feel like this is going about it the wrong way.
Getting rid of all public funding for schools is a recipe for disaster in times like these.
>>37725 It has to authorize the block grants to educational institutions so it can just not authorize grants somewhere that doesn't comply with the new voucher program
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
one positive of this is that it gets rid of the mandate for standardized testing which has poisoned schools horribly and restricted their ability to teach anything other than how to take the standardized test
nobody wans // wants a fucking 39 dollar flight anyone taking a trip intends to pay hundreds of dollars the FLIGHT is not what you want to be skimping out on
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
i would love a $39 flight in addition to cheap hotel flights are like one of the smallest costs shit food is more expensive than a flight for any trip that's more than a week sometimes
>>37741 Almost every flight I've been on in the last two years, which is roughly 30 flights minimum, has been like $100 per ticket. About $200 round trip. Not counting baggage costs.
Frontier says it's $39 but it'll actually be about $130 if you want to bring bags.
Anno
;_; I was like, thrice the --er. I was like, a third of the distance that you were from Philly and my ticket was a few hundred dollars round-trip. Definitely more than a hundred dollars per ticket.
>>37755 yeah that is different, but in general on international flights, say berlin as a basepoint and every route is extremely trafficed, distance rises up the price
月
maybe that's the case for europe but you to berlin is not the same as new york to las vegas it's about route saturation here and distance is a non-issue and i'd really wish you wouldn't equate finland standard to the rest of the world because it's really obnoxious
Also ironically, I can fly cheaper to berlin than say to rovaniemi, a northern finnish city a good example of a shitty route that isn't really proftable to keep running
月
it's more profitable to run a full flight at a lower price than a quarter-full flight at a marginally higher price
One thing that always baffles me, is how many domestic flight routes we have. Like seriously soem are like 10-15 minutes in the air you sit more in the RUNWAY in the plane, than on the air.
Anno
>>37755 All right, I'll admit I may have been under a bit of a mistaken concept there.
But even for intranational flights. It's hard for me to find a round trip under two hundred dollars. Airlines are just not cheap up here.

I had a dream last night that I (along with about 30 other people) was captured by an evil wizard little girl and she tortured us and killed us and turned us into zombies and then brought us back to life so she could do it again. and she always brought me back to life last so I could suffer the most. So I spent every loop before I died working out and earning money so I could break free. And at the end of the dream I bought a strength vitamins company, which somehow meant I could use them in magical prison. So I went to break out and the guy next to me who is a guy I used to know in real life named Pauly turned to me and said "we're doomed" and then I gave him a big toothy smile with my mouth full of half-chewed strength vitamins and I broke out of magical prison. Then I woke up.

I was running and they just tore up the sidewalk and left it like this I had to go into the middle of the street because a gutter runs across that portion of curb
She was super close with my dad but I didn't really get to know her too well. I feel a little bad that I didn't get a chance to see her in the hospital, but I didn't expect her to go so quickly so it can't be helped.

I've been leveling her alongside Palla, a lance pegasus rider who's not Shanna, and female Tiki. I think Palla might already be four stars, but the lance pegasus rider and Tiki are both three stars. They're not really a good team.
I'm trying a thing where I made Tiki the captain of my group in hopes of baiting pesky falchion users into dueling me and behind that I have Sully, Abel, and Nino. Sully and Abel both bully swords users really badly.
I'm leveling mine with Male Corrin, Hana, and Fir.

Fir is already one of my most-used sword characters. I'd probably fare better if I swapped her with...Stahn? Stahl? Some horseback guy with a sword. But I'm still stubborn on making teams of cute girls if I can.
