@MABlumenfeld What's great about being agin' it: you can oppose before the fact because they are too big a threat, and after because they were not large enough a threat
The Fire Nation crossed into the Air Nation for what could've been a normal day enjoying the Air Temples. But everything changed when they found themselves under fire from Monk Gyatsoโฆ
A few notes here.
1) The first and most important obstacle is credentialism: most states would not hire a PhD unless they also have an education degree or equivalent. Exceptions are privates and charters.
2) in many districts the local privates and charters pay *less* than the local publics. Why? They are far more pleasant to teach at, for one thing โ the students who attend these schools are better behaved and better motivated to learn. A subject expert wants to teach not babysit.
3) the chance for research is actually already built in to most of these schools โ it is called summer break. Those 2-3 months every year could easily be devoted to research, why not? What is *not* baked in is the respect of journals, other academics etc for someone who wants to publish while teaching high school. That is the more difficult problem.
@carney The response of the Alphabetists are the most interesting (supported Iraq, but believed we ought to have gone in alphabetical order and dealt with Iran first)
@CR_Morgan There is a streaming service for classical performance! Sponsored by Rolex, and you will pay a buck seventy-nine for the year because you will buy it, feel temporarily good about yourself, and go right back to General Hospital
@MABlumenfeld The "dissident conservatives" Democrats platformed in the Bush era were something else. Made it really hard to take their side on Saddam tbh.
@MABlumenfeld He had been saying the opposite on Iraq WMD to hawks in the late 1990s, he suddenly stopped, and they immediately noticed that he got the classic "funding for a documentary (unproduced)" wire transfer
@MABlumenfeld I have never really forgiven Jon Stewart for platforming him. The egregious stuff hadn't come out but it was Known he was taking dirty money in 2002-2003
@CatholicSmark@GM20198114@MABlumenfeld Ok. Last question. Is "bad thing they shouldn't do" as far as you're willing to go in describing the consecrations?
@CatholicSmark@GM20198114@MABlumenfeld I am trying to be very precise here and use your wordsโฆ In order to get something done, we need to think that the SSPX won't say that means they are right if nothing comes of the meeting?
