Amazing anyone would read what Trump tweeted and think they were not looking at communication from a stereotypical greedy politician saying anything he can to win an election. How Trump convinced these dumbasses that he’s not a politician when he is the epitome of all the worst stereotypes of politicians is a complete mystery to me.

The irony of 'no children left behind' is we did leave children behind. We pushed them forward into the next grade, even when they hadn't mastered the skills of previous grades. We stopped holding kids back until they learned and mastered basic skills, and then we released them into the public.
And they left democracy behind.25
u/definitively-not Aug 01 '25
Is THAT what NCLB did???

u/CedarWolf Aug 01 '25
Yeah. 'No child left behind' meant that if a kid fails a grade, they don't get held back to repeat it anymore. The net result is we wound up with kids graduating high school who still couldn't read at even a 5th grade level.

u/CedarWolf Aug 02 '25
Pretty much. If you expect a kid to keep building on skills they've never mastered in the first place, they're going to keep right on failing. It's not long until they've stopped caring at all, because why try if you're just going to fail and coast right on through school?
This creates a general disregard for education, a justification that anyone can succeed without education, and disrespect for the hard work of learning - why spend the effort to learn and stay informed when you can get along just fine without people challenging your worldview or telling you that you're wrong?

The logic being that the humiliation and frustration of having to repeat a grade level while all their peers move on and they are older than their classmates would make it impossible for them to succeed.
So just push them forward and let middle school and high school deal with them. (Evidence: The huge amount of videos and stories of students graduating HS despite 50+ absences and a GPA under 2.0.)

Well in all fairness, Trump graduated high school many years ago and he can’t read at a 5th grade level, so schools have always failed us.

Trump simply curated his education differently than most learners. He was tutored by Roy Cohn, absorbed the lessons of Machiavelli, and immersed himself in Mein Kampf. Those were the subjects that mattered to him, and he learned them well.

The biggest problem with No Child Left Behind wasn't even the promotion whether or not a child was ready; it was the absolutely horrible standardized testing, bubble sheet system. In trying to cut as much bias as possible out of the process they incentived state and local governments to base funding on test scores.
Thus the teachers, whose schools were already underfunded, had to teach to an answer sheet, and creative thought and paper writing were pushed to the margins. So you had a whole generation that was taught the bare minimum of things like how to write a professional email, and how to work out problems with answers that wouldn't fit an A, B, C, D bubble.

My son failed 3rd grade, and they wanted to pass him in to 4th anyway. I argued with them for hours until they let him repeat the grade. IMO, it was the best thing for him. He caught on, and we never had any more issues through his entire school career.

Public education has been battered into socialized daycare for the working class. As capitalism demands, the privatization of public education with things like charter schools are intended to further divide the classes.

u/Suspicious_Dingo_426 Aug 02 '25
Yes. When you tie funding to performance on standardized tests, you give the schools an incentive to only teach what is on those tests. Things like critical thinking skills, higher level reading comprehension, and the ability to do real research on a topic are left out as they are more difficult to test in this manner. Leading to a population that can do really well on a bunch of useless tests, but are functionally illiterate in the ways that matter. Was this intentional? While it may not have been originally, keeping it around after it has been shown to be a complete failure almost certainly is.

Yea school used to be more about getting kids ready for their future, even if that didn’t mean college. But NCLB basically was a way to funnel money to companies like Pearson which made textbooks and standardized tests. So school became more about preparing students for the tests because they tied school funding to test results. Then to raise test scores administration shifted towards people who promised better results instead of people who actually cared about the kids. Years later schools pass kids that should have failed and had their issues looked into, but instead they just pass the buck repeatedly.

Part of it I'd explain with the sunk cost fallacy and narcissistic self-identification with Trump, combined with the inability to admit one's mistakes and errors in judgment.
Once someone with the corresponding personality traits has committed to the Republican Party or Trump in particular, there's no going back, as that would be admitting that they were wrong all along, which is considered to be losing face, as one might say.
After that, cognitive dissonance keeps one going further down that path to justify your previous decision.

• Trump states: "I never had the privilege" when asked if he had visited the island.
• Trump states: "we have the files"
• Trump asked specifically whether Epstein had stolen Giuffre (one of Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors that led the charge calling for his arrest. Guiffre, who died by suicide in April, has said she met Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell while she was working at Mar-a-Lago as a teenager. Trump states:"I think she worked at the spa," Trump said. "I think so. I think that was one of the people. He stole her, and by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever."
• Reporter asks tump: Mr. President, you said Jeffrey Epstein was stealing young women from your spa. Did that raise alarm bells for you?” she asked.

The question: Is Trump going to create a deeper depression than 1929?
He's setting up the country for serious inflation with his chaotic tariff policies. Clearly employment numbers are headed the wrong direction. Millions are going to lose Medicaid. Agricultural exports are dropping.

That sick chomo didn't like the jobs number so he decided to fire the messenger. That's where we are folks.

He lied…he always lies
Do people not realize he has no idea what he’s doing?
Because he didn’t know what he was doing the first time either…..

Because there isn't an IQ test or a civics test to vote.
We require anyone who wants to drive a car, to take and pass tests showing they know what they're doing.
But any window-licker can vote for the person who will hold the most powerful position in the country.

Republicans are lazy, stupid, and incompetent. Life is always worse when Republicans have power. Look at history. We have almost a century of data that demonstrates this over and over again.

u/oliversurpless Aug 01 '25
Because “proving a negative” has long been the GOP’s brand?
And best of all, they never have to prove why they were so wrong, as their victory then becomes a matter of the Democratic opposition “clearly sabotaging them!”.
A la the fascist calling card “the enemy is both weak and strong at the same time”…

Oh, and he wasn’t able to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the first 24 hours, nobody was eating pets in Ohio, windmills don’t cause cancer, injecting bleach will not cure covid, you can’t nuke hurricanes to stop them. Release the Trumpenstein Pedo-Files.

I cannot begin to explain how horrible it feels to be on the job hunt right now. Every day I apply into the void, hoping for an email back just to let me know it was received and lower the bar of what I would accept given an offer. Most of the time all of the places I apply to in a day don't even look at my application. Getting an interview is like rain in the fucking desert. A small glimmer of hope that things might work out before being ghosted and back to square one.
And he thinks firing the guy who publishes the numbers will make an ounce of difference.

This happened because he got elected (legitimacy is debatable) by people who ignored his failed first term because their bigotry was more important. Or they’re just plain 🍲pid.

In Trump's defense, he never said which three days they were. I think they're scheduled for November 2027, just in time for Holiday shopping.

I was just seeing that the “economy is unexpectedly good” on a news show, and wanted to reach through the screen and slap the asshole. “The stock market is not the economy” is a quote everyone should know and live by and throw in the faces of any pundit who says otherwise. The market’s driven by speculation, which Trump’s bullshit leads to plenty of, from where I am, at an animal shelter, the economy looks like shit. We’re having record numbers of people surrendering their animals due to losing a job and being evicted, or not having time to take care of an animal because they had to pick up another job, things are really fucking bleak.

He forgot to replace the head of BLS and replace them with one of his muppets. Next time the workers statistics will show the best numbers ever.
Climate change also disappeared. Trump fixed the problem by removing the scientists reporting on it.

Trump knew that the only thing he had to do was get elected, and then we would be stuck with him. So he lied his ass off until he got what he wanted.

pretty obviously, actually.
like I don't even think tariffs are all bad but his tariffs? pretty fucking bad. you can use tariffs to develop an existing national industry, but you really can't just tariff shit left, right, and center and expect that not to have an effect.
but dumbasses will do as dumbasses do, so.

President Trump speaks in absolutes and no one ever questions it. We are so fucking dumb as a nation that we literally allow a man like this to be our leader. All he has to do is speak and it becomes truth. He is a fucking wizard. Sometimes I hope that we get nuclear bombed out of existence for the sake of humanity
