BLM Brandon is correct that he reduced class sizes. With schools like Douglass Academy having a capacity of 912 students but only an enrollment of 35 that really reduces class size. Nevermind the per pupil spend is more than $68,000/yr. As to that "living wage" for teachers, Chicago's are... show more

Good news - more than 150,000 Londoners are getting a pay rise as the London Living Wage increases nearly 7% to £14.80 an hour. Hardworking Londoners deserve a wage that covers the rising cost of living.

“The minimum wage of Nigeria is N70k per month. I live in the UK, if I translate it to pounds, it’s £35. This means a Nigerian is earning a minimum wage of £1 per day while UK counterpart is earning £12 per hr. Even though cost of living is higher in UK but think about £1 per day & £12 per hr. For e.g., Nigerian electricity cost is near that of UK. You are earning £1 per day but paying electricity cost almost the same with someone earning €12 per hr.” ~Nick Agule

Living standards in the UK are flat as a pancake and Westminster governments are unable and unwilling to address that. Independence is about having the full powers to tackle the cost of living crisis - and it’s for people in Scotland to decide.

The reason “gender wars are class wars” is so hard to see for people is that dating and social media mean women in the upper class are way more visible than the men And it looks like “See these women? Their life is easier than yours, they stole your job, and they don’t want you”

Women do more housework. 200% more. Living alone, compared to men living alone. Women do more housework not because they're oppressed or because it makes them healthier or happier (they're the most medicated for depression). The do it because they like it. They do it because they're driven to because of their biological role. The only people oppressed by housework are the men that are forced to do it by the women that are so egocentric they can't imagine anyone else being any different than them.

Don’t like competition? Good luck. A lot of players enjoy the THOUGHT of competing But really just like the identity of being an athlete: Wearing the gear, going to the workouts, having the mindset that they “grind” so much more than other students. Fine. But understand that wearing a jersey and competing are VERY different.

A Baloch Girl speaking about the closure of girls' schools in Paroom, Panjgur. As she bravely says, their parents happily allow them for their studies, but the government has shut down the schools and not providing them with facilities for their studies. The schools are closed for years due to lack of teachers and other basic facilities. The students, mostly girls of Paroom, organized a protest demanding facilitation in schools. As per, Baloch Literacy Campaign report, there are sixteen schools which are closed in Paroom. Most of them are girls schools. We appreciate this small struggle of the students and are happy to see them raising their voice for their education. We as BSAC demand the government to take action and provide the students with their very basic educational rights. Video credits Nisar Baloch

In Australia, neither of the two-party preferred leaders have declared that they will protect the female sports category and female-only spaces ahead of the Federal Election. Cost of living, housing and energy are paramount but so is advocating for over 50% of your population.

We are living in a time where more men are being more vocal about their feelings which many women have said they have wanted for a long time. However, some women are struggling with accepting what men have to say when it comes to them having to accept that all relationship problems are not caused by men. This is not meant to be an attack on women but many women take it as an attack and are way more interested in defending women than actually understanding what men are trying to say. It tends to be more challenging for women to emotionally regulate and to accept accountability, not because they are flawed, but because of the conditioning and training that has taught women that men are less intelligent and more than often the problem. Quality men, which there are plenty of but are often overlooked and not talked about, are tired of being blamed for everything and are no longer willing to tolerate it. They want to make it clear that most men are not like the stereotypical bs that our society teaches about men. It has been challenging because it's difficult for many women to accept because of their personal experiences from choosing and dealing with lesser quality men.

Our colleges of education are badly captured and have been for decades. The result of their use of Critical Pedagogy is that our children are being radicalized instead of educated, but more than that they're being destabilized so they can be radicalized elsewhere, like online.

The claim that South African civil servants are the highest paid in the world as a percentage of GDP is not entirely accurate, but it’s based on a partial truth that’s often used in political debates—especially when arguing for wage freezes or austerity. Here’s a breakdown: 1. High Public Sector Wage Bill (relative to GDP) •South Africa does spend a large portion of its GDP on public sector wages. •According to National Treasury and several reports from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, public sector compensation has hovered around 12–13% of GDP, which is above the global average (often closer to 9%). •This figure includes all levels of government: national, provincial, and local—especially in education, health, police, and administration. 2. Not the “Highest Paid” Civil Servants •That does not mean South African civil servants are the best paid individually. •In fact, if you compare average civil servant salaries (adjusted for purchasing power) across countries like the UK, Canada, Germany, or the US, South African workers earn far less. •The high wage bill is due to: •Size of the public service (number of employees) •Senior management and wage disparities •Historical increases outpacing inflation •A shrinking GDP base, making the percentage seem larger 3. Context Matters •In countries with smaller economies, even moderate wage bills can appear large as a share of GDP. •The state has also cut public sector employment in recent years, especially by not filling vacant posts—ironically increasing average costs per employee while reducing services. Bottom Line: South Africa does spend a high percentage of GDP on civil service wages, but it’s misleading to say that civil servants are the “highest paid in the world.” It’s more accurate to say that the wage bill is disproportionately high relative to the size of the economy, not that workers are overpaid.

WATCH: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defines how he measures the success of Chicago Public Schools under his administration. “I personally don’t give a lot of attention to grades. I don’t…My responsibility is not simply to grade the system, but to fund the system. That’s how I’m ultimately going to grade whether or not our public school system is working. Based upon the investments that we make for the people who rely upon it.” This ideology is why Douglass High School is seeing a larger budget increase than any other school in the Chicago Public Schools system this year. The numbers are mind-blowing. 🔴 Douglass was originally built for 888 students in the Austin neighborhood, where Johnson lives. 🔴 Just 35 students attend Douglass today, meaning the school is 96% empty. Of those 35 students, 64% were chronically absent last year. 🔴 The new CPS budget expands Douglass staff from 23 to 32 employees (1.09 students per employee). 🔴 The school already spends more than $68,000 per student per year (excluding capital outlay and debt service). That’s enough money to send every Douglass student to one of the most elite private high schools in the country while saving extra money for college tuition. 🔴 Student achievement data has been redacted for Douglass, most likely due to too few student records. If fewer than 10 students are tested, the math/reading proficiency rate is redacted for student privacy purposes. It appears fewer than 10 students are enrolled in 11th grade at Douglass.

This week, thousands of people in Swansea will have more money in their pockets because the state pension and National Living Wage are going up. No one's pretending the cost of living is now solved. But we're on the right track 👇

🚨 The indoctrination in our education system is so much worse than we realize Survey reveals 70% of High School students are taught America is a racist country with 40% having their teachers reinforce this statement daily “3 weeks ago, the Journal Education Next released a national survey of high school students asking what messages they have heard from teachers over the last 4 years. Stunningly, 70% of high school students report that their teachers say that, quote, ‘America is a fundamentally racist nation,’ end quote. With nearly 40% of students say they hear that message often or almost daily” “What happens to a nation when its schools express to its students such disdain and selective memory of its own country?”
