No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

When would the teachers have time to lesson plan or grade if they're teaching kids 8 hours a day?
Just because students are at school from 9 to 5 doesn't mean every single teacher has to be in front of a class from 9 to 5.
I mean, nationwide teacher shortage, overfilled classrooms.... If the kids are there then all the teachers are working the whole time.
While the kids are doing whatever they used to call homework in class. Split classes between teachers: one supervises while one works.
You don't manage a lot of kids, do you?
If they did, we wouldn't have had to read that.
Or If they do... they absolutely shouldn't
It's literally what they do in my wife's class where they have 24 each but hey what would I know
"My wife's a primary school teacher so I know enough to solve education issues"
Here is a functional solution you want to ignore because you look down on primary school teachers
"Functional" does not equal "practical", nor does it even remotely equate to "looking down on primary school teachers"
Let's go ahead and ignore every other "functional solution" because it's too (insert excuse) to work.
What we're currently doing in the US works so well, it's why we lead the world in education... I think. Idk, I never learned any nuance besides standardized tests. But I'm ok, teachers and kids are just lazy
You might want to look up the educational standards for lower grades to HS.
It is better at the college level, though.
No its because I am a teacher and you have no idea what you're talking about
18 hours to think that up? Yeah, you're not a teacher.
I'm in a different country, dipshit. And I'm not a slave to my phone, like you.
One of the biggest lessons I've learned since teaching is that the less someone knows about education, the more certain they are that they're the only one smart enough to fix it.

"B-b-but my wife/mother/husband is a teacher and they agree!!!!!!!"
No. They just want you to shut the fuck up.
"I went to school! I know how it works!"
You were born. That doesn't mean you know how to give birth.
Uh, have you met any animals? Childbirth is pretty instinctual. Where are you on that mount stupid? I suggested an option, I didn't anywhere say it was the only one. The fact that I haven't sat through a credential program doesn't mean I'm summarily dismissed from the conversation. I'd wager your entire annual salary that my degrees are better than yours.
The fact that you don't have the relevent degrees, experience or knowledge means you are summarily dismissed from the conversation. You obviously have nothing of value to contribute, yet you insist that you should be listened to. That makes you either an idiot, or a troll. Or both.
Oh, I do have the relevant experience. I'm just getting you to admit you disdain your loved ones. It's really quite fun.
Edit: wait, faulty assumption. You're one of those people who doesn't have loved ones, aren't ya
What in the actual fuck are you evem trying to say? You're not even making sense.
The more you talk, the stupider you sound. Quit while you're behind.
All the money in my teachers pay teachers account says I'm ahead, but sure.
LARP
Shit or get off the pot coward
Wat
So are you asking for twice as many teachers or twice as many kids per teacher?
The struggle to hire teachers is already high and the GOP is trying to put as many obstacles as possible to slowly strangle public schools and shift to charter/private schools.
The same time they use now?... in their free time. But like, still for free.
Because they care so much, time/money means nothing to them. Otherwise, they shouldn't be educators to begin with, because they obviously don't care about the children. Who here is even thinking about the children?!
People on the internet have gotten so stupid, I'm not entirely sure whether this was meant as /s or not. Really an indictment on the internet as a whole.
I feel that viscerally, so I wanted to confirm that I was being sarcastic. The, "Who here is even thinking about the children?!" was my attempt at /s without actually putting it. But I don't blame you for having doubts lol
