Unions are great for Americans. Republicans and big business not so much

Your child’s education is the parents responsibility

teachers can’t teach children who don’t attend don’t their homework while dealing with parents who think their responsibility end once the kid on the bus .. then crying their victims because their kid aren’t successful in school

The woke excuse only works on the Republican uninformed base voter
With most of them having zero children in school
"Your child’s education is the parents responsibility "

So teachers, who in New England can EASILY make $100k a year with cadillac health insurance, insanely generous pensions, tons of time off, and guaranteed job security, have no responsibility for education? What is their responsibility then, Wayne? If teachers aren't responsible for the education of their students, what would you say they are responsible for?

Furthermore, your side is saying parents should but out and leave it to the teachers. That's mutually exclusive from your statement that education is the parents responsibility.

If you really believe that educating my kids is my responsibility, then how can you oppose the idea of letting me spend my tax dollars on the education that I know is best for my kids?

Talk about wanting to have it both ways!

Most Republicans have no children in school? What are you talking about? Did you drink fentanyl today?

Because Jim you don’t pay crap..

How much of your town tax’s do you think you pay for 3 kids to go to school.. in a year. The same as the person who has no kids.

You have no argument it’s fantasy .

When I began to cover the protests over Common Core State Standards a few years ago, most of the opponents showing up at the Legislature were home-schooling parents and older Georgians whose children had long graduated. I recall a woman brushing away tears as she told lawmakers how Common Core would hurt her four kids, but, when asked which district her children attended, explained they were home-schooled.

what’s the responsibility of the teachers wayne, if not educating children?

one person observing that one group of republicans was home schooling, from that you make a leap that republicans don’t have kids in public school.

republicans are less wealthy than liberals. they’re more likely to have kids in public school. it’s not rocket science.

one woman home schools, and you think she represents every republican? brilliant wayne.

if i don’t pay crap, then it’s no big deal to give it back to me.

You’re humiliating yourself.

my town ( education budgets are usually a town thing not a state thing) spends about $14k per kid.

YOU said education is the parents responsibility, not the teachers. Fine. Give me some of my tax money back ( not all of it) and let me use it to fulfill what YOU said was my responsibility.

Yes taxes in CT are way too low. That’s our problem. You figured it out.
