That’s the billion dollar question. And the source of frustration for us all.

A poster asked how many board meetings that have been attended? It does zero good. Hell, we got a like minded person elected to the school board. When he tries to change things? Bus loads of protestors show up at his house and business screeching and screaming the same nonsense “you hate kids, you don’t want kids to be educated, you hate teachers, you hate bus drivers blah blah blah”. The exact same tactics the liberals always play when you start messing with the grift.

Vote differently in the state houses? We have a Republican super majority in both chambers. No one will take on the KEA. No one. They don’t want the buses pulling up at their houses either.

And Kentucky ranks almost 40th in the states in Education. School employees believe they are above the law. And with the KEA supporting them, they are. They just try to deflect to make themselves look less corrupt.

My $0.02: Within financial reason, 100% yes to getting the kids out of the building and into the real world at least once every other month. They need to see, feel, smell, touch the world outside of the indoctrination bubble.

Probably a good idea to give them experience one step removed from their immediate family and amongst a group of peers.

100% I would have been better off with more glimpses of the real world versus hours and hours of Geometry, Calculus and the like that I will never use.

Not ski trips and such, I'm talking real world, walk a mile in someone else's shoes exposure: Farms, factories, trade schools, military bases, construction sites, the real country, museums, even the office cubicle farms.
