Hello Charming 🙂
“In March, state Senate Education Chairwoman Dayna Polehanki, D-Livonia, announced she wanted to consider placing class size caps for grades kindergarten through third grade in schools with high rates of students living in poverty.
"I'd like to see class sizes capped in high-poverty districts in K-3 to give the kids that time with the teacher," Polehanki said. "So the teacher has that individualized time with that student."
Polehanki said she is working with the Michigan Department of Education on optimal class sizes to put into state policy.
Such a policy would represent a significant shift for Michigan, which has some of the largest elementary school class sizes in the nation, according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics.” ... See MoreSee Less

Amend PERA to include class size as a mandatory subject of bargaining.
Policies toward education and teachers could change to make teaching a desirable career. That would be a start.

It was disgusting yesterday. They sat there and joked about it together. I can't send a terrorist back to the US. Nudge nudge. The way he shot down Collins question and said why can't you just kiss my ass basically? That disgusting meeting where all his top people lathered his ego was sickening.
All these lefties so worried about one illegal gang member who was deported had nothing to say about Americans who were left behind in Afghanistan or the 13 killed, not a peep for Americans taken hostage on Oct 7th. In fact, y'all protested in favor of Hamas,, the terrorists that perpetrated it.
He was not wrongly deported. He was here illegally. Found by two different immigration courts. A MD US District Court Judge has no authority over US foreign policy let alone El Salvador.
