I've hired many homeschoolers. Every single one was ready for the work world and ended up being a good employee. I've seen some hilariously bad resumes from public school students.

𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐓 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐋 𝐊𝐈𝐃𝐒 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓 𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐕. Connecticut Democrats want to pass a bill imposing curriculum oversight on homeschoolers. Four homeschooled siblings appeared on Fox News and dismantled the bill, the framing, and the underlying assumption — on camera, in front of the country. Jacob, 13, on why homeschool works for him: “𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘬. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵.

Over half the North Carolina state budget goes to EDUCATION. Half or more of most county property taxes in North Carolina counties goes to EDUCATION. For more than half your taxes, don't you think North Carolina should be above the National Average in 4th Grade and 8th Grade testing?

Honesty wins in the end.@Honestywins2024·
And what are folks getting back from all this money they are using to indoctrinate children with? look at what they are being taught. Our own tax dollars are funding this corrupt system and the lame excuse of using education to rip off people from the high cost of property taxes needs to end. I wouldn't give the school system a dime.

NC one of the worst in teacher pay ahead of Raleigh protest. Where does it rank? New NEA data released today estimates North Carolina has dropped three slots this school year to 46th in nation in average teacher salary. newsobserver.com/news/local/edu… #ncpol #nced

@ElectChadStall @facetiousrunner @nckhui I do think there is a certain number of years they have to complete to get full benefits - 30 years? They have to work a minimum of 5 years to get a smaller pension that is calculated? Not sure....

I’ve absolutely had it… I’ve tried to be supportive of the public schools in North Carolina. I’ve donated. I’ve shown up. I’ve volunteered. I’ve bought school supplies. But you used my son as a political pawn for your Leftists political agenda. You’ve lost me.

@BryanMcGuire_NC @MargoinWNC No child left behind is designed to dumb down and indoctrination. These teachers dont care, they just want the money. As far as they are concerned they are doing what the gubberment assigns them ta do.

I advocate for teacher pay increases. I DO NOT advocate those same teachers abandon their jobs on a scheduled work day to protest. And-teachers here are 14 miles from Tennessee AND Georgia. I understand. It's the method they choose I adamantly disagree agree with.
deezel@deezelme

@MargoinWNC Let’s play devils advocate. NC teacher pay is ranked 46th in the county. They have for years for an increase and yet nothing happens. You can literally drive across the border to VA and 15-25k more year. Maybe you can use your platform to shine light on NC Educational system.

@ElectChadStall @facetiousrunner @nckhui Also does anyone calculate the gold plated pension plans and medical services benefits (with no expiry date except death) that state employees receive? Many could live for 30+ years collecting in retirement as much as their working pay that taxpayers have to pay for...

Being honest… I read this like “The #Bears know they didn’t do anything relevant on the DL all offseason, so they’re hoping they get lucky with a 6th round pick and will force him to do more than he’s probably capable of”
Sky Kruse@KruseSports_

The #Bears believe they're getting a steal with sixth-round defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg out of Georgia Tech. Several of his testing numbers hit the highest mark on the Bears' internal scouting scale. My sense is the Bears have plans for him beyond that of a typical sixth-round flier and believe he was one of more gifted defensive tackles in the draft.” -@JFowlerESPN via @espn espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

The average McDonalds restaurant takes in ~$4million/yr in revenue. They spend ~$2 million in non payroll operating expenses. Raising the minimum wage to $25/hr would give each of the ~50 full time employees a pay rate of $51,000/yr. That would increase their payroll costs to $2.5 million per year Each McDonalds would operate at a net loss, unless they massively cut payroll costs through automation. That means job losses. The laws of economics are undefeated.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna

I co-introduced historic legislation to increase the minimum wage to $25. As someone who taught economics at Stanford, here is why it makes sense. The real minimum wage was $14 in 1968. Today it is half, but productivity has increased 2.5x. Instead of extractive capitalism, we need a free enterprise system that pays workers what they are worth.

@Okla_Hombre A doubling of average menial work pay means a doubling of crap food prices. It would put them out of business based on that alone. No one is paying $9 for a 6-piece processed chemical based faux chicken nugget box.
