Def a r/antiwork poster

Okay but who actually did all their homework in high school tho

evil is when you stand outside a guy's house with a sign

Nah they’ve got a point tho

imo it's a misdirection away from a real problem because it's a clearly packaged personal gripe directed as something radical rather than a real systematic critique. It's the same kind of issue when people correctly identify the relationship of the nuclear family to the system but then completely miss the point and start preaching parenting is mode of oppression.
The issue with public school is threefold, firstly the incompatibility of a central singular system whose latent purpose is monolithic socialization with a non-monolithic society, and secondly that public schooling - supposedly a socialized tool - is a reflection of pre-existing social class esp. in a geographic sense (poor schools = poor education, rich schools = good education generally in the US due to underfunding, regionalism, etc.), and lastly that schooling is not actually about equipping people w/ skillsets or "education" in a general sense but rather arbitrary standards of education relative to subsets of societal structures. Focusing specifically on homework is just kinda , it's be like taking the focus on a non-unionized production job and saying the issue is that they're working at all and therefore the job shouldn't exist rather than the fact they should be unionized

Imagine dude trying to change a school's homework policy arguing that s***.

There's plenty of research out there that proves homework isn't really beneficial...especially for elementary students.

In the real world they ask you for empirical evidence before implementing such policy changes. Homework only exist because it correlates to higher standardized test scores.. not to prepare you for "life under capitalism."

to be fair there's no way people like that on twitter are gonna be anywhere near a policy influence in a million years but yeah, I agree with you. I think real overhauling education reform isn't likely to happen in my lifetime in the US unfortunately.

I’m sure that person is 100% still in high school

this is gaining some traction...

you're telling me that a conservative from staten island in a public service union is saying wild s*** to people to rile them up, color me surprised

that s*** is weird af though "you will have my baby"

oh don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it's not weird, i'm just saying it makes total sense with who's saying it. growing up in relative radius of these types of people, it doesn't surprise me, these conservative public union dudes basically invented being extremely crass while still claiming to be conservative historically these same mfs basically invented catcalling

lmao you from NY? if you don't mind me asking..

yeah i dont live there anymore unfortunately but im originally from there, i moved around a bit growing up so i lived in lots of different parts of the state

same same, just never to NY

i've heard horror stories about Staten Island

tbh all of staten island isn't terrible as a whole, it gets a lot more s*** than it deserves, but for sure some of the worst people in the area are from there it's kinda funny since it should be part of NJ, it has way more in common with like Elizabeth for example

this is a former trump WH staffer tweeting this gotta admit though this one is a good bit, actually made me laugh. too bad you know what he's extrapolating from it is deranged

How you the Speaker of the House and this outta touch on what todays Republican Party is, Jesus Christ these people just loving f***ing up

Now they're environmentalists
