Yeah, right. There’s nowhere to live because you ca t build there, which I’m good with. Fact is, per capita, homelessness is almost as bad as the west coast and rent and housing per sq ft isn’t far off either. Outside of SMBs, there’s virtually little corporate opportunity and the entire state lives and dies on how well the deacons go. Love the state and those Vermonters with generational legacies there, but it is scratching out a living, unless you’re among the rare who own a successful SMB or are in upper Mgmt in the few larger corps. Even overpaid, tenured professors at Middlebury College can afford a home there. Selfishly, having grown up there 40 years ago, I’m glad, other than the imports, very little has visibly changed, just the whacked out culture. Still one of the best places on the planet and Act 250 will keep it that way. Hmmmm, makes me think, “watch what you wish for”

It’s for communities to determine and parents to decide whether to expose their children or not. There used to be a sense of community, but for for those most rural areas, it really no longer exists; the cost of connecting the globe, imo

So, the US Dept of Ed is the all knowing entity who all should trust to determine what historical “big things” are taught to American children. Who determined who these decision makers would be, they’re not even elected officials, just a bunch of folks living off taxpayers backs with virtually nothing of value in return…oh, except determining what is taught in a secret chamber somewhere.

That’s not who, those are large bureaucratic entities with, but for elected officials, no accountability. So how is it determined what “big events” should be taught and which “big events” there’s just not time for?
