Ideally, this is how technology helps us, by making things easier for both the teacher and the student.Īnyone who has experience with our public school system knows that over the last two decades a big part of the PTA’s mandate in schools is fundraising. Schools are able to cut some of their costs and waste, theoretically, by being able to create digital homework and information. Paper is not wasted gone are the xerox printouts of assigned chapters from books. There are pluses to the expediency, the ability for students and their families to have more direct and quick contact with teachers and instructors concerning assignments, all while also offering up tools online to help those students who may have missed a lesson, or just need more guidance in learning something. In recent years, more and more schoolwork is accessed and assigned online. Regardless of what kind of homework and how much homework you believe children should have at any given time, most educators agree that some form of take home educational work-reading time, writing time, problem solving time-is worthwhile. In an ideal world it allows a young person to begin to learn some of the tools and work habits needed to continue learning and structuring one’s life going well beyond one’s days in school.
In an ideal world, homework serves the purpose of reinforcing some of the lessons taught in school while also allowing the family to participate in a child’s educational growth. This goes along with the basic numbers, where an overwhelming amount of wealth afforded corporations by the tax cuts went right back into shareholder and C-suite pockets. Everything about the tax cuts, from their unpopularity, to the Republican hypocrisy enlarging the national deficit, to continued promises of pay-offs for regular folks some time in the future, stinks. Its researchers now do not believe those things to be a fluke, as the numbers remain at the same low level over a year later. The Institute previously reported steep declines in compensation between December 2020 and December 2018, but had warned that they might be a fluke. Private sector compensation and W-2 wages both fell by 0.9 percent over the last year (March 2019 versus March 2018) and were lower in March 2019 than the average for 2020, the year before the tax bill passed. Guess what? That’s right:Īn examination of overall wage and compensation growth does not provide much in the way of bragging rights for tax cutters, especially given the expectation of rising wages and compensation amidst low unemployment. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has released its latest Employer Costs for Employee Compensation Listing, which the Economic Policy Institute analyzed. Most of the bonuses were a long time coming and had already been negotiated long before the Republican tax cuts came into being.
This was the cover that corporations provided the GOP for the program, and it was as genuine as any other Donald Trump promise. The Republican tax cuts for the rich came with promises of big bonuses for workers.
