Dual Credits for High Schoolers is a worthwhile investment
With student loan debt relief looking less likely to happen getting students dual credits while in high is a great way to lower college costs.
As the cost of higher education continues to rise, many students and families are left with the burden of high levels of student debt. In the United States, the average student loan debt for graduates in 2021 was $38,792, and this number is only increasing. However, one potential solution to this problem may lie in expanding Dual Credit Programs for High School Students. Dual Credit Programs are…

nice. of course the k-12 education system is underfunded, leading to constant teacher shortages, inadequate facilities, and subpar student outcomes. healthcare access is alarmingly poor, with an unneeded high uninsured rate that leaves many without normal, essential medical services, and even with recent medicaid expansion, mad issues still remain. health outcomes are fckn dismal, with high rates of chronic diseases and preventable deaths. obesity levels are among the worst in the nation (no wonder with all the food insecurity and lack of healthy lifestyle options around there). income inequality is out of control. they got many of their citizens living in poverty with almost zero prospects for improvement. on top of these issues, oklahoma has one of the highest incarceration rates in the country, driven by harsh sentencing laws and systemic failings which targets black and poor (because of course (because america)). all on top of a legacy of racial injustices. i mean the tulsa race massacre. need i say more? but yea they should totally spend 1bil on entertainment. that's a totally reasonable thing to do smfh.

have seen many many posts about 'the american public school system' to some degree or other & i think it is worth pointing out that public schools are still administered locally (sometimes very locally) & that there is a huge range in how they operate, what curricula they use, etc.; state laws & state-level assessments vary, along with, obviously, state funding; federal attempts to provide standardized education have had limited success, not least because people simply do not agree about the salient features & required outcomes of education at any level. my school experience probably has little to do with yours, unless you're one of my friends who went to high school with me in which case sorry for all that
#the american public school system does not seem like it was intended to provide a strong historical grounding u.s. imperialism#i will certainly grant this far#however before we get ahead of ourselves i went to a free public school in a state with bottom-five educational outcomes#& my required 12th-grade history class included lengthy treatments of the haitian chinese & mexican revolutions (1810 & 1910)#this is not a representative experience sure but i'm just saying it did Happen

Isn't it more important for fob to have a discussion w/ gabe abt palestine and try to inform him on it instead of just trying to drop all association with him?
i mean, yes of course gabe becoming more educated and informed would be ideal, but until he shows that publicly himself i think the clearest, conciest way for fob to show they disagree with those opinions is to cease association. or, at least, cease positive association such as having him come perform on stage or posting about it like there’s nothing going on (if they were to do that). it isn’t like both things aren’t possible at once- not positively associating And helping educate can coexist, i think
#also though i’m like. very much not an authority on any of this. i don’t know if there’s a perfect way to hold anybody accountable#and navigate these things. regardless of what happens or what they do i hope the outcome is a positive one that benefits palestine in some#way shape or form. whether that’s thru educating or ceasing association or both or whatever that’s the end goal#asks#anon

People act like society and culture are geared towards families and kids when it's ridiculously not the case and honestly it would be better if it was.
#if it was geared towards families and kids we'd have well-funded well-run child care and the best maternal and children's health outcomes#and genuinely well-maintained children-only spaces with generous mandatory family leave#and a highly-funded and incredibly effective education system with well-regarded educators#and and an etc.#the fact that people bring kids to restaurants where they aren't really meant to be does not mean you're living in a nuclear family dystopi

i'm going to be honest i have no idea what i'm going to do. i messed up my choices for higher education and now i have barely a couple days to pick between a cursus way too difficult for me, a highly specialized cursus with shit outcomes, and a leap of faith into whatever kind of gap year alternative can get me out of my parents' hair for the time being. note how i have no fucking idea what that alternative could be, or what path i'd like to take ideally. fun.
#yeah yeah i know happens to everyone#anyway im. not happy abt the future outcomes rn#on one hand i know if i never choose the path of challenges i'm never gonna get anywhere#on the other hand my mental health is always a dumpster fire and i'm honestly not sure what's the way to fix it#if i have to waste my parents money being their vaguely adequate enough lapdog six more months i'm going to spontaneously die i think#but education costs money and takes efforts and i dont know what to do#i don't know what's my goal#i don't like anything anymore. i don't have any particular skills. i suck at anything actually useful.#please just assign me anything that needs to be done and pay me a living wage#i just don't want to choose#the only thing i think i'd feel alright doing is healthcare but. yknow. huge phobia of anatomy. not a science type.#and the crippling fear of inadequacy doing anything not the EXACT way it's meant to be done#i couldn't switch mid-year i just couldn't i don't fucking want to live that kind of feeling again#broadcasting my misery#vent

It's Valentines Day and since I'm single I have been thinking about my OC's and how I ship them and I might want to Gush about them, so I'm putting up a short-length poll to determine the level of priority for each one. I'll put a brief summary of each one in the tags if you want some context to influence your decision
#brief summary if you want an educated direction#Hackshifter: a shapeshifter and a cyborg who are gay and constantly make hijinks ensue (these hijinks almost always lead to tragedy)#Folktreuse: a time traveler and the goddess of time fall in love probably my favorite from cpuk#Dancefloor: a spunky and cocky catgirl pirate and a brooding edgy rabbitgirl pirate slowly fall in love as the former joins the crew#Gay Dad Pirates: a seasoned pirate betrayed by his crew and an upper class kid who joined the military both defect and start their own crew#One Positive Outcome: A ship that exists across multiple universes. All universes hold some kind of tragedy.#Crimtoinette: A ship started as a joke that has caught on between an overconfident girlboss and an eldritch bastard man#1 day is the shortest it would allow so ill just keep an eye on it#and if i start making posts ill do it based on whatever i see here

Really don’t like how many professions seem to be evolving (really, devolving) into “tech support.” My own job (in education) is now at least 25-30% being a helpdesk for students with some kind of technological issue.
#it’s not that tech in education leads directly to worse outcomes#it just takes up big chunks of time and energy that could have been spent on the actual educational stuff

childhood was spent thinking i’d go to hell and men would not love me if i swore so now to heal from that i am swearing as much as i fucking can until i come to my own fucking conclusion about how i feel regarding the usage of such crude vocabulary
#it needs to be my own decision and understanding that i do not want to swear#not because other people Told Me it’s not ladylike or im going to go to hell if i do it#if i end up deciding hey you know what i really dont like swearing then Boom i actually have a reason other than guilt and shame#because i will have been able to feel something Other than guilt and shame when swearing. if that makes sense#like instead of being consumed by guilt and shame every time i swear or think about swearing#i am able to come to it without bias and understand for myself (without guilt and shame) why it is wrong or harmful#(or rather IF it is wrong or harmful. ive not comr to my conclusion yet but you can see i still have preconceived notions about it)#and who knows maybe men wont love me after all and i will be unloved by God if i swear#then so be it because ive never known a single thing in my life without someone else telling me#i just want to figure it out and understand for myself without someone holding my hand because im too stupid to come to my own conclusion#my parents put me in a classical school so i could learn to think critically but then have removed every chance for me to think critically#because they are afraid i will make the wrong decision (even though supposedly i have learned critical thinking™)#and they didnt do that intentionally of course. and this sounds resentful but i truly dont mean it that way#i LOVE my parents and the fact that they wanted to put money into giving us good education rather than just nice possessions#they have wonderful hearts and the best of intentions. but no parent is perfect and every single one will affect their kids in some way#whether they meant to or not. or maybe they did something with good intention without realizing the harmful outcome#every day i realize that individuation is an actual thing and its not just a montage in a disney movie#froegis meep tag

Moral Luck and Merit
The concept of moral luck challenges our conventional understanding of moral responsibility and merit. It raises questions about how much control individuals have over their actions and outcomes, and consequently, how much credit or blame they deserve. In this exploration, we will delve into the nuances of moral luck and its impact on our assessment of merit.
Understanding Moral Luck
Definition of Moral Luck:
Concept: Moral luck refers to situations where the moral judgment of an individual is influenced by factors beyond their control.
Types: Philosopher Thomas Nagel identifies different types of moral luck:
Resultant Luck: Luck in the way one's actions turn out.
Circumstantial Luck: Luck in the situations one faces.
Constitutive Luck: Luck in who one is, including one's temperament and inclinations.
Causal Luck: Luck in how one’s actions are determined by prior events.
Moral Luck in Practice:
Example: Two drivers who both run a red light but only one hits a pedestrian. The difference in outcomes, due to resultant luck, affects how we judge each driver morally.
The Concept of Merit
Definition of Merit:
Concept: Merit involves deservingness of praise, reward, blame, or punishment based on one's actions or qualities.
Basis: Merit is typically based on factors such as effort, intention, and outcomes.
Merit in Ethical Theory:
Kantian Ethics: Emphasizes intention and adherence to duty rather than outcomes.
Utilitarianism: Focuses on the outcomes and the overall utility generated by actions.
The Interplay Between Moral Luck and Merit
Impact of Moral Luck on Merit:
Resultant Luck: Alters the outcomes of actions, affecting the perception of merit based on those outcomes. For example, a doctor’s merit might be judged differently based on the success or failure of a surgery, even if both doctors performed equally well.
Circumstantial Luck: Affects the situations individuals encounter, which can lead to different opportunities for meritorious actions. For instance, a person born into a stable environment might have more opportunities to develop virtues than someone born into adverse conditions.
Constitutive Luck: Involves traits and dispositions that are beyond an individual's control, impacting their ability to act meritoriously. A person’s natural temperament might make it easier or harder for them to act morally.
Challenges to Traditional Views of Merit:
Intention vs. Outcome: Moral luck complicates the assessment of merit by introducing factors outside of one’s control. Should merit be based solely on intentions or also on the outcomes, even if those outcomes are influenced by luck?
Equity in Judgment: If merit is influenced by luck, it raises questions about fairness in moral and social evaluations. Can we fairly reward or blame individuals for actions significantly shaped by luck?
Theoretical Perspectives on Moral Luck and Merit
Nagel’s View on Moral Luck:
Argument: Thomas Nagel argues that moral luck undermines the idea that we can be fully morally responsible for our actions since so much is influenced by factors beyond our control.
Kantian Ethics:
Counterargument: Kantian ethics emphasizes that moral worth is based on the intention behind actions rather than their outcomes, potentially sidestepping the issue of moral luck.
Virtue Ethics:
Perspective: Virtue ethics focuses on character and the development of virtuous traits, acknowledging that some aspects of character are influenced by luck but still striving for personal moral growth.
The relationship between moral luck and merit is complex and raises significant questions about our understanding of moral responsibility and deservingness. While moral luck challenges the fairness of attributing merit based on outcomes influenced by uncontrollable factors, various ethical theories offer different approaches to reconciling this tension. Understanding this interplay is crucial for developing a nuanced perspective on moral judgment and ethical evaluation.
