That and feeder programs to ivy league schools I'd never attend on account of how I prefer camping and shooting guns and building shit. One of the ways that catholic schools have stayed competitive boils down to tuition reduction schemes. When you volunteer to teach - not bound by public schools certification requirements, though not necessarily choosing between a pool of subpar applicants.
You can end up with (relatively) alot of people with a masters or better but no ed cert teaching high school courses. Mind you, competition for academic excellence is fierce around important bases and in densely populated areas - and some kid in bfe texas could have had a gym owner as a pe coach and history teacher..but I have no complaints myself about the quality from my stint, lol. My science teachers were geneticists and hydrologists and marine biologists by training. My economics unit was taught by a fund manager for raymond james. PE and football coach was an air force para rescue officer. We had local authors and artists of note for ela and lib arts. It was good. Such a tight knit community that I;ve never really made friends outside of it in all of my life thereafter.
LOL - I think it was 8th grade that I had Coach Timmerman for History. He wasn't the best when it came to pronouncing words and sitting in the front row meant you had a lovely shot of his crotch in his coaching shorts with one leg propped up on a desk as he spit on you while he talked.
When I got to Freshman year we actually had a real teacher. In fact, that teacher ended up being principal for a while later on till it was decided that a member of clergy had to hold that position.

I suppose that's the argument for standardized government intervention. I've come to appreciate that I had alot of atypical experiences. A decent catholic school, a good time in the service, an open and welcoming immediate family. I wouldn't leave anything up to chance and the vaguery of Coach Timmermans ball coverage on the field or off...or his ability to control his spittle.
Fuck, sounds rough.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Anti-LGBTQ+ ‘groomer’ slur explosion linked to ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law in eye-opening report
Pink News
Quote:The report, by Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDC), also found that social media companies have failed to combat use of this phrase and others comparing LGBTQ+ people to “predators” or “paedophiles”.
On 29 March, the day after Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill was signed into law, banning discussions on LGBTQ+ topics between kindergarten and third grade, use the phrase “OK groomer” peaked on Twitter.

Reminds me of the Ken Star investigation report of the Monica Lewinsky affair with all of its legalistic pornographic references.

More ranting from MTG
LGBTQ Nation
Quote:Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) claimed that the IRS is going to force restaurants to host weddings with “drag queen story time for children” in a bizarre rant.
On her MTG Live broadcast on social media this week, Greene denounced the Inflation Reduction Act, a bill that was just passed by the Senate that is funded partly through increased enforcement of the tax code.
Greene, like many Republicans, claimed that the bill would add 87,000 new IRS agents – a number that CBS News called “misleading” – and she said that those agents aren’t going to enforce tax law but are instead going to punish people for not being liberal enough.

Fun fact: Starr turned to the Lewinski stuff only because, after years of searching, he couldn't find any crimes in what Bill Clinton did. The party of treason were full sure Clinton was exactly like them but got a right land when they found he had integrity.
