That ' s still pretty big for a government that gets over a billion dollars per year in free weapons from the US . <| sep |> TS would have the same problem , to an extent would look like TeamSpeak . <| sep |> You are missing the clearly un experienced guy saying spending 1457 M NO JUNK ! <| sep |> Rush ' s not going to Misfits . He also reiterated on his yesterday ' s stream that he ' s not planning to join any EU team and is looking for a LCK team to join in . <| sep |> Just wanted to reply quickly to a couple of these points before eating some turkey . Happy Thanksgiving ! In my experience , the challenge isn ' t that better teachers are attracted to charters , it ' s that younger teachers are . Charters usually don ' t pay as much in the long run because they aren ' t union , but they do offer competitive starting salaries for young and energetic teachers with the willingness to work long hours and start cool after school clubs , etc . We need that enthusiasm and optimism in our public institutions . I also take issue with the idea that charter lotteries are an answer to cherry picking . Certainly it helps , but you ' re still picking students randomly from within a select group those who apply . Working in a bilingual school in the inner city with a 90 % free lunch population of elementary school students , I had the opportunity to meet a lot of challenging students and even more challenging parents also tons of both who were wonderful , but that ' s not relevant to my point . These parents wouldn ' t have known how to apply for their kids even if they knew what a charter school was in the first place . In this way , lotteries are a beautiful screening tool for the most disadvantaged . Finally , expulsion is another method of cherry picking students . I don ' t know your particular policy on that front , but I do know that public schools can ' t leave kids out and many charters can . When we expelled someone , they went to the next school up usually a few blocks away . When our neighbors expelled someone , they showed up on our doorstep . These kids ' test scores never left the district . I want to thank you for your work with disadvantaged students . It ' s a daunting challenge , and I fear what our new Secretary of Education may do to make things worse , but I hope charters and public schools can find a middle ground that improves education for everyone . Cheers .
