If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

My wife was an elementary school based sub for years and quit during the pandemic.The lack of respect administrators in this school district had for teachers was really shocking to me. My wife would occasionally read emails to me that were blast emails sent out by the administration to all teachers, and it blew my mind how uncaring and harsh the emails were. And I feel like Arlington is supposed to be one of the good ones.

"Objective truth" means something "objective" exists. Subjective experiences are NEVER an 'objective truth'.  Is only an opinion.

Whereas an administration could be posting nonsense, we have no examples or testimony so as to know what that is.   Only some concern or belief exists.  No meat on those bones.

What the administrator ordered is 'meat'.

Each individuals "subjective and unjustified belief" is never an "objective truth".  But explains why some are also easily duped by left and right wing extremists.  At best, it is only speculation or an unjustified hypothesis.  

None of that says glatt is right or wrong.  Only says we have no "objective facts" to understand what is really being discussed.  Therefore no 'objective truths' yet exist.

A most glaring example of "objective truths" that were not: Saddam's WMDs.  "collective wisdom that forms the foundation of objective truths" created a glaring lie.  Facts that proved that obvious lie were the "objective truths" promoted only by a minority.

Apparently some need a euphemism explained:  put meat on those bones.

How do you support 74 kids? What is that, like half an hour, twice a month?

Worse than that, when an OT (or speech therapist, or physical therapist, etc.) is operating through the school district, they can't even realistically assign exercises to do at home, or communicate with parents about more that could be done, because those actions imply an awareness that the kid "needs" the additional exercises, which legally means that the school should be providing them.

Back when my daughter was in a half-day of special ed preschool, our school at the time was willing to have the school bus drop her off at a daycare center for the rest of the afternoon, but NOT at the therapy clinic that was literally next door, because even dropping her off at a clinic that I was already paying for could be seen as an acknowledgement that they knew she needed it.

I think you guys are missing the main takeaway and that is that owning the libs requires a little sacrifice and belt tightening, stop being such snowflakes and embrace the new dystopia.
Hint: it's the same dystopia but now the veil has been lifted and we can see who it is we're married to.
Or if you like, a farming analogy: This harvest didn't spring up voluntarily, the fields have been being prepared for years...
 

The school board has nothing to do with funding, or the unfunded legal requirements imposed at the federal level. In Texas, you can propose a "bond" to local voters, in which residents may agree to pay some amount extra in property taxes for a few years that goes straight to the schools--but aside from the difficulty of getting people to vote for higher taxes on themselves, those bonds are specifically prohibited from ever covering teacher salaries. And that's how you end up with nonsense like the local suburb voting to build a fucking pool in 2 of the high schools, when they simultaneously cannot afford to hire more teachers for those schools.
