If your doctor says you need one, insurance should be covering it.

Right. But while 4th grade has great literacy results, 3rd grade has 38 students per class who are deficient in reading now. How long can that last?

I used to be a teacher. In my state, before COVID, 3rd grade is the grade that you don’t pass if you don’t hit certain criteria for literacy. After COVID, they didn’t hold anyone back due to an emergency executive order from the Guvnah. Pretty much all the teachers I worked with hated it and believed that holding kids back was beneficial to all.

Something about holding students back seems like it might artificially inflate numbers. Like, if they administer a test in 4th grade while keeping the kids who are struggling in 3rd grade, well only the kids who made it to 4th grade are taking the test.

I’m likely wrong.

Do you even conundrum what he’s saying?

They didn’t even really touch on that, because he’s not a comedian and wouldn’t really be accepting of trash talk, I’m sure. They kind of played it cool, but in the podcasts after that they mentioned how fucking crazy he was.

That guy was on one of my favorite podcasts a few months ago, “Are You Garbage?”. Granted, part of the podcast is talking about your past, but this guy never stopped talking and it was always about himself and how great he was.

He suffers from some sort of mental health disorder that doesn’t allow to smell your own shit. That guy is fucking nuts.

OoOOoOOOooooo sassy boy, over here.

I love how this post doesn’t even pretend that anyone may use anything but Linux. Classic Lemmy.
