    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Teachers unions should be banned, and teachers should advance due to merit. Our education system is terrible.

            So, the ones who advance are the social climbers, who put their fingers to the wind and say whatever is most socially and economically beneficial for them to say?

            Education is extremely important.

              That, and political connections.

              Local schoolboards are a hotbed of politics, second only to the sheriff's office.

                That’s a fact, down there and up here.

                  I had a few summer jobs while in high school that were a result of school department connections.

                  Many school department employees had at least some academic credentials.

                  But the Department of Public Works had no such restrictions. The DPW was pure politics at it's finest.

                    As everybody knows, math education around here is freaking great. I hope the CRT isn't as effective.

                    I was only joking
