@mittelwerk18@jessesingal Maybe big city public schools should do the things that make such parents WANT to enroll there. Great physical plant. Fabulous extracurriculars. Amazing enrichment. Teachers who graded stuff.
I bet that would do a lot to benefit the kids already at the schools.
Differing rates are also driven by differences between T pop and general pop (beyond a trans ID) including:
age (T pop tends to be younger, which is higher risk)
up to a third autistic (ppl w/ autism experience higher rates of violence)
high rates of mental health co-morbidities (some mental health diagnoses are very high risk for assault)
@rentedillusions@datadriven_tdoc IME - rates of verbal harassment for women is highly dependent on whether you are forced to use public transit, suburban vs. city living generally and whether you exercise in public or a private gym.
@Mukfuk169536@swagadragon Or maybe NHJ thought her child was so bright that actual instruction wouldn’t be required? So then it didn’t matter what school the child attended - the fruit of her loins would naturally soar above the hoi polloi?
@_ItzDutchess Except nothing NHJ was doing at the elementary (which was what - other than place her daughter there?) seemed to bear any fruit at all. So she harmed her daughter and accomplished nothing.
@ericstait@ToddCWatsonLaw@CoreyWriting I watched a video yesterday by a black man complaining an elderly white woman was being racially aggressive to him by making small talk in an elevator.
The problem with NHJ’s “just tutor” approach is this - it is deeply unfair to expect a young child to sit through school and then essentially do a second shift of private/homeschooling on top of that. It’s a recipe to make them hate learning, stops them from doing other important things (imaginative play, time outside, time with friends) and degrades “family time”. Some extra help on particular challenges for a short time is one thing, but you can’t fix awful day to day instruction for years by tutoring.
Also, any extra curriculars need to be very closely considered for value against the impact on time with family. We did lots of extra curricular stuff starting quite young, and I regret it now.
@AIfortheenotme@phara4assembly@nhannahjones Heck - by reading your kid board books you’ve contributed to the “equity gap”. That’s why thinking of the issue in that manner is so idiotic.
@CoreyWriting@AstorAaron Just read an old change petition from parents for removal of the principal at the elementary school in question that claimed behavior was so bad the school was known as “Little Rikers Island” - not sure tutoring can mitigate that!
@heilun_chan@AzureFenn@tracewoodgrains Wouldn’t moving the child out hurt mom’s opportunities for dining out on / speaking fees, etc. for the first article?
Seems like the first article locked the family into the bad situation.
@AGallagherAlly Women have specific rights to protection from pregnancy discrimination, abortion, maternity leave and the like.
When you erase women, you erase our specific needs. “Male default” is a real thing and harms women.
@CriticallyAxed@SVPhillimore Statistics I don’t like = “weaponizing”
Effect of male violence on women that I would prefer to ignore / pretend doesn’t happen or is fake = “weaponizing”.
Wow. Impressive “rational discourse” you have there.
Did you misread?
Trans erases GNC. Because it assumes that one is either trans or “cis”. But there are plenty of people who are not trans (no GD, acknowledge their sex) but don’t identify in whole or in part with the particular stereotypes / roles that oppressive and regressive gender associates with regard their sex.
