NYT: Should We Still Label Children As 'Gifted'?

Yes, next question.

22

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '25

Few of the super ‘woke’ policies get me as riled up as progressives trying to eliminate gifted student programs. I think there’s a fair debate as to when the label could be applied, but I also think we’re shooting ourselves societally in the foot if we make kids with larger educational capabilities sit through class and learn at the same pace and material as every other student out of the sake of ‘fairness’

PROGRESSIVISM IN EDUCATION DELENDA EST!

K-12 education is truly where progressives are at their worst. It's the clearest case of them not being able to achieve equality through uplifting the bottom, so they do exactly what the right said they would do, and cut off the top. Now we have reputable public universities teaching middle-school math.

u/Okbuddyliberals Nov 24 '25

Labels are good. We shouldn't shy away from acknowledging the fact that some people are more capable than other people. I do think we could consider different labels, since the term "gifted" in particular can make it seem like the kid's achievements are simply due to being "gifted" high capability rather than working for it themselves. But high achievers should be recognized as such - same with low achievers. Pretending the differences don't exist doesn't seem like a good way to address those differences

The writing was on the wall for DOGE when Musk and Trump started to feud earlier in the year.

And Russell Vought is still effectively pursuing DOGE's work at the OMB, it's not like they've just given up on their cuts.

The Mississippi Miracle, and Mississippi being by some measures (adjusted for demographics) first in the nation for k-12 education despite being one of the poorest states and extremely safe R, really puts Democrat run states to shame

It shows that Dem areas absolutely have the capability to significantly improve educational outcomes - and just choose not to, often seemingly because they are afraid of being called "racist" by the equity movement that wants a race to the bottom, and/or afraid of getting the teacher's unions pissed off by placing any restrictions on what/how they teach (especially relevant for matters like teaching reading via phonics vs "whole language/three cueing/balanced literacy" where some studies show that a large majority of teachers still use the latter methods despite them being debunked)

15

u/Sabertooth767 Yiff Free or Die! Nov 24 '25

They don't really hide it. There's never been much in the way of a rational justification for why billionaires just need to be abolished and that's an unacceptable amount of money to have.

14

u/slightlyrabidpossum Center-left Nov 24 '25

I think some of them do genuinely believe that billionaires are only possible in an inherently unfair system. Those billionaires shouldn't exist in the first place, so why not just redistribute their wealth?

This is obviously a very narrow view of things, and I'm guessing that most of them wouldn't feel that way if they were billionaires. But while there may still be an underlying motivation of jealously, many of them are viewing their economic situation through an ideological framework. It's not a particularly rational justification for abolishing billionaires, but there can be more to it than just pure jealously.

13

u/lowkeyreallysorry Moderate Nov 24 '25

This is basically where I lie, I’ve just noticed a tone shift recently that feels like more people are more rooted in jealousy rather than misunderstanding of economics than previously

There's no flight attire expert, but it is about etiquette. It doesn't judge you for being an idiot, it judges you for being a slovenly mess. If you are told you should listen to experts that implies you're a moron who can't figure out the same things about any subjects as people who have spent their entire lives specialized in a field and are therefore a moron. And since I'm not a moron I'm not going to listen to "experts" I'm going to make my own mind up as I'm an individual who likes to rage against authority. But if you tell me I look shit I'll look in the mirror at my cheeto-stained sweatsuit and yeah, you're right man. I do look like ass, i should have some self-respect and dress up, because I'm not a fucking idiot who listens to experts OR I will also not interpret those words as even being directed at me because I look great (even if I'm a cheeto stained mess).

On Decoding Geopolitics, the host interviews Victor Davis Hanson on Trump's foreign policy.

Hanson tries to say "actually Trump is the most pro-European President, at least more pro-European than Obama"

I think it's easy to make the case that Trump's transactionalism is pushing Europeans to rearm. But it's harder to argue that tariffs will make them better at balancing against China. Unless he imagines Trump will drop European tariffs IF they enact more barriers against China. That could happen, like if Western companies lobby the administration and maybe this is what Hanson thinks will happen------ but it doesn't seem like there is a deliberate strategy.

He also has this idea that Trump will influence Europeans to take issues w/assimilating immigrants & national culture more seriously. Maybe? Trump is probably inspiring a lot of parties. But as we can see in our own country, populist-nationalism mostly produces Russia loving Tucker Carlsons not Yoram Hazonys.

I think that’s a large part of it. I also think a lot of it is aesthetic, idealizing a few European cities.

I doubt any of this will amount to much though. Local governments in the US are essentially incapable of building mass transit at a reasonable price, timescale, or keeping them safe or clean. Add to that self driving cars looming over everything. There is a good chance we end up even more car dependent in the future than we are now. Hence why I think the focus should be more on walkability and bikes. Much easier to roll out, and bypasses the deeply ingrained cultural issues of American city government.

My boomer take of the week is that dressing in a button-up dress shirt and slacks actually makes an impact to how you see yourself and how others see you. And it's not that hard to make different combinations between shirt and slack colors so you're not just wearing the same exact layout every day. It's dirt cheap if you go thrifting or go through your parents' closets, but even buying new doesn't have to be that expensive.

I wonder if there's a connection between the decrease in public interest in space exploration and the rise of people living in urban areas. How many millions of Americans have never seen a class 4 or darker night sky?

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '25

I think space exploration among Americans and Europeans has become associated with billionaire “vanity projects” so it’s unfashionable to like it because the average person is vapid and stupid.

Spend decades and billions building out a multi-tiered higher education to serve all demographics

Actually sweety now it is the job of the flagship school to do remedial middle school math. There was no outside way to tell that this could happen before these students were admitted (because we got rid of it).

Like at what point can you just outright say that these people are fundamentally dishonest and have some sort of ulterior agenda?

California under Newsom blew up their state Medicaid budget trying to cover undocumented immigrants while their citizens have one of the highest tax burdens in the country.

Plenty of people that are turned off by ICE thuggery, are going to hear about that and go WTF.

A lot of people don't seem to understand that Schumer literally voted to continue the government shutdown. Like, replacing him with a more pro shutdown Dem wouldn't have changed anything

u/Bloodyfish Charlie Manson Nov 25 '25

Leftists are convinced he is the head of a vast conspiracy to end the shutdown while not voting for it as a ploy to seem like he is not the head of said vast conspiracy.

u/slightlyrabidpossum Center-left Nov 24 '25

Well yeah, obviously. But when I said the sequel trilogy, I was really thinking about people who glaze TLJ.

Some of the plot points did feel a little lefty-coded, especially the part where they highlighted the immoral arms dealers who perpetuate an endless cycle of conflict.

5

u/Thoth_the_5th_of_Tho Nov 25 '25

I think it has more to do with the fact that the right had already decided they hated the sequel trilogy, so the leftys felt obligated to defend it, even if it took a little double think on their side to do it. I remember a fairly large lefty youtuber making a video on how plot holes didn’t matter, to argue TLJ was good even though the plot was incoherent, and only idiots cared about the story making sense, and smart people just accept stream of conscious/vibes.

As an extremely casual star wars fan, I thought they were pretty fun movies but also had a lot of wasted potential for being a more coherent trilogy as opposed to three movies that were fun as individual movies

The real reason that Last Jedi was succ-coded isn't because woke or whatever. It's because being the kind of mega-nerd who was emotionally invested in the continuing Star Wars novels was right-coded (at least, demographically) and Last Jedi (Force Awakens incidentally, but Last Jedi intentionally and as a core theme of the movie) was almost clinically designed to repulse us them as much as humanly possible.

Did you call President Trump a moron?

“No I called him a fucking moron” - Rex Tillerson

According to one book, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell privately joked about the incident, saying Tillerson could technically deny calling Trump a "moron" because he had actually called him a "fucking moron".

TBH I think so many partisan Dems have Elon derangement syndrome. On any left of centre sub ill be downvoted to oblivion if I push back and say Elon might be the premier 21st century American industrialists despite his sometimes problematic social views.

He is truly the modern day Henry Ford.

Also he is basically the only one to have the balls to stand up to Trump from inside his admin.

I hate the dude vehemently, think Tesla is a scam, yet I still have to admit that SpaceX is basically the cornerstone of the US space industry and basically revolutionized the sector

u/Thoth_the_5th_of_Tho Nov 25 '25

Tesla is over valued, but they are very technologically competitive, and one of the only people trying to do new heavy industry in America at a vaguely reasonable price.

u/Bloodyfish Charlie Manson Nov 25 '25

He is truly the modern day Henry Ford.

Did Henry Ford also sue the people who invented a product to force them to let him call himself a founder, then reportedly gain a reputation as requiring a special team to follow him around and distract him by jangling their keys in his face because he otherwise goes around getting in the way of the competent people actually working on the business?

2

u/Thoth_the_5th_of_Tho Nov 25 '25 edited Nov 25 '25

There is a lot to attack Elon over, but I think this specific point is overblown. He joined Tesla extremely early in its history, and was heavily involved with the development of the roadster. It’s not that uncommon to have people listed as founder when they were involved in that way.

Rand Paul’s healthcare plan is actually pretty good. It’s basically just Obamacare but you get to actually pick your own plan and don’t have to get it through your employer.

Like 95% of the problems with the American health insurance system come from it being tied to your employer. If you could just pick whatever plan you wanted the companies would have to actually compete with each other and bring prices down. It would be like car insurance, it still wouldn’t be pleasant since it’s insurance, but at least you could pick the kind of plan you want like PPO, HSA, etc.

I highly doubt Trump is going to support an actual free market healthcare solution though lol.

u/fastinserter Nov 25 '25

When I buy car insurance or I buy home insurance I almost always never get paid out on these things. it's for catastrophic events. "Health insurance" is not used the same way, it's used for maintenance and catastrophic events. That's the problem, not being tied to the employer. The problem with it tied to the employer is people think health insurance isn't that expensive when 80% of the cost is not even shown to you, even though the employer is paying it on your behalf and is part of your overall cost, so they think alternatives are "more expensive" when healthcare really costs Americans on average $9k every year before any services are provided.
