i hate my state for empowering the idiot. florida hasn't had a good governor for the people since ive been alive. we had this voldemort looking dude blocking jobs, then Rubio out here tapdancing and flipflopping for uncle cheetoh with no shame. and we still give him a chance.Marco Rubio needs to get shot....I'm so disgusted
we would've done better electing pitbull, flo rida, or tpain as gov.
ive learned in this past 6 months that America as a whole, is ignorant. I've never thought highly of people. I always figured "people are just stupid." but never REALLY believed it to this extent. I never REALLLLLLY looked at America as a cesspool full of idiots and a relatively small % of educated. But these last 6 months man?
I literally don't care if most of the mountain and rust belt states get wiped out by bubonic plague. this again goes back to me saying the nation needs to sink. hopefully this speeds natural selection up and trump supporters go by way of the do-do bird.

Were you home schooled? I'm gonna assume you are a product of public education like the rest of us...

I think that's a pretty big problem here as well. When I graduated highschool I didn't really know how to file my taxes, insurance, ...
I graduated in Human Sciences so economy was hardly a part of my set of classes. But even my friends who were in Math-Economy or even Accounting said they didn't feel prepared on tax filing, ... during highschool.
That's something that should be offered in all schools, at least some degree of preparation for the world past graduation.
Language is very important and I think we do a pretty good job at that, at least over here in the northern part of Belgium. Our native language (Dutch) isn't mandatory in the south, and as a result many areas don't bother teaching Dutch in schools.
In elementary school we started learning French in the 5th grade. I already spoke fluent English by the 5th grade by learning from tv and videogames but it was not offered in our curriculum. More recently, elementary schools have started teaching French from the 4th or even 3rd grade and have also started teaching English in elementary as well.
In highschool I learned a total of 4 languages. At the time, English only became part of our curriculum in the 8th grade but that's no longer the case.
Depending on which subject you pick in highschool your set of classes may or may not include German. In my case I had German class but it was only 1 hour a week initially and then 2 hours a week in the later grades.
On average throughout highschool I'd guess we had around 5 hours of Dutch class per week, 4 and later 3 hours a week of French per week, 3 hours of English per week and 2 hours of German.
In the 12th grade my school also started an initiative to teach Spanish during our lunchbreaks but it was towards my graduation so I didn't get to learn much Spanish.
I also took Latin in the 7th grade and did well in it but dropped it the year after because I was a very lazy student and I wanted to continue getting decent grades with as little effort as possible. I found it very beneficial to take Latin though, even if it was only for a year. I chose nursing after highschool so some Latin knowledge came in very handy with many medical terms being based off Latin.
Nowadays I'd say I can speak 2 languages very fluently, one being my native language and the other (English) might as well be my second native language. I wasn't particularly good at French and German but for whatever reason I spoke English at later grade highschool level before I even graduated elementary school. It has always come very natural to me and more recently I've been doing some small translating work for friends; translating their linkedin profiles or college assignments etc. Through a close friend I even picked up a few paid translation jobs from several university med students who needed essays or other assignments translated, with very positive results from the professors.
My French was pretty good during highschool but because I haven't had to use it since graduation my French isn't very good anymore. Still somewhat fluent but nowhere near what it used to be. My German has always been pretty basic. It's kind of similar to Dutch so I can understand German fairly well but I can only speak the basics myself.

What does he have to lose?1. Have you watched the confirmation hearings for Betsy Devos?Democrats defending 10 seats in deep red states 2018..good luck on that
da feels in here..... mmmmm mmmm mmmmm.
1.1: Do you believe she displayed adequate competence for the job in her hearings?
2. Describe how a completely incompetent secretary of education benefits America, particularly the public school system
3. Do you see the crippling of (public) education under an incompetent secretary, affecting students on all sides of the political spectrum, as something to gloat about because leftist students are part of the affected?

The way NH carries himself you would think he's a banker with millions in the bank and ties to the Trump administration, he really thinks he remains unphased by anything that Trump may do...lord...bro when your face hits that pavement after Daddy Trump shoots you down from your little cloud, will be a day to rejoice, I hope you have enough pride to exit yourself from this forum forever.

The way it is now, if after all this you still support Trump, this *** is grounds for divorces, I would probably stop talking to my kid if he supported this POS...I want nothing to do with anyone on a personal level that STILL thinks Trump was a good move
