1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: We tried to tell everybody. Yeah, I mean, we did 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: our part for humanity. And you know, look, I got 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: a giant ego, but I don't say these things just 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 1: to just to stroke my ego. I say these things 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: because I'm trying to cut off calamity. And yet all 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: these MENSA members, these steamed greatest amongst us down the 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: street from US at two hundred Washington on two hundred 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: West Washington Street, have their heads apparently so far jammed 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: up their backsides that they can't see the most obvious 10 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: of stuff. And now here we go, it looks like 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: we're going to be proven exactly correct. You are going 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: to see as we described what it would be the 13 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: wild West next year of school referendums. 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, so w An E. 15 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 3: Wayne has an article Indiana could see upwards of almost 16 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 3: one hundred referendums. 17 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: Okay, so Wayne is a Fort Wayne based television station. 18 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: They I believe, right, I believe therefore Wayne. Yeah, and 19 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: obviously there was a school referencem in Fort Wayne which 20 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: failed just the other day. And we said this when 21 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: they were debating this nonsensical, ridiculous gobblygook that they came 22 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: up with. That is Senate Bill one. We said you 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: are not you. You the lawmakers, you the governor are 24 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: not addressing several of the core issues and the core 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: problems with property taxes. One, if you eliminate the eye, well, 26 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: let even talk about the idea of whether there should 27 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: be property taxes, which there shouldn't. That's your home, you 28 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: bought it, the government didn't have anything to do with it. 29 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to pay taxes on something you own 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: that doesn't exist anywhere else other than with property taxes. Right, So, 31 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: but let's just operate from the premise that property taxes exist. 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: It is utterly ridiculous for any person with an IQ 33 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: of seven would agree with this seven or above would 34 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: agree with this, that you pay taxes based on what 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: someone else does with their home. As in, when some 36 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: other guy sells his house and makes money, you get 37 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: punished because your property taxes go up because then they say, 38 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: well it's sold, Yeah, it's sold for whatever. This guy's 39 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: house sold for whatever. So now you're homesordmore and you 40 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: pay more in taxes. That doesn't make any sense to anyone. 41 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: That is the problem with property taxes if they're going 42 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: to exist, and that is why they have skyrocketed because 43 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: other people have cashed out, and you being a good 44 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: and decent member of the community who trims their grass 45 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: and waters their lawn and and you know, yes, right, 46 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: you are getting screwed for setting up stable roots in 47 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: your community and living there ten, fifteen, twenty thirty years. 48 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: You get the big punishment while other people get the 49 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: big payoff. That's the first part of it. They did 50 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: nothing in this bill to address the systemic the root 51 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: cause of this systemic problem. The other thing they didn't do, 52 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: and they didn't address, is raining in the spending and 53 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: the ability of these local governments of which schools are 54 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: the primary viewser to hold the community hostage. And we said, 55 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: as soon as you pass this bill, you are going 56 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: to see some school corporations aren't even going to wait 57 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: for your stupid little bill to take effect. 58 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 4: Were we right on that? We were absolutely right on that. 59 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: Look at all the referendums it took place this year, 60 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: and then we said the next year, you are going 61 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 1: to see a sprint. Now they got to wait till November, 62 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: but you are going to see a sprint for these 63 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: school corporations to try to pass these referendums. Because They're 64 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: not going to take the cut in revenue. They're not 65 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: going to take the decrease in revenue unless you force 66 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: them to do it, and there's nothing that forces them 67 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: to do it. 68 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: According to this article, they say that some school districts 69 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: are already mobilizing for next year. Sure, I'm already planning, 70 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: I don't doubt it, which means the opposition needs to 71 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: start planning as well. 72 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: But the problem is, and we saw this like in Amon, 73 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: you have a system set up in which government employees 74 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: can go out and mobilize and lobby in maths else 75 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: for themselves to raise the taxes. Oh and by the way, 76 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: many of these people live in the community. How is 77 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: this not a conflict of interest? They get to vote 78 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: on whether they should financially benefit from people's taxes getting raised. 79 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 4: That's the system setup. 80 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 3: See. 81 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: This is one of the things that these local governments have, 82 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: these schools, suburban school districts have done. That has happened 83 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: quietly over the past decade decade and a half is 84 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: they have started making these teachers live in the school 85 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: district in order to get the job. And they do 86 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: it under the guys of well, we want people who 87 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: are invested in our community. 88 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 4: No, they want you to be able to vote. 89 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: They want these people to vote when they do these 90 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: school referendums. And so if you start, you know, at 91 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: a seven eight, nine hundred person advantage, which you know, 92 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: that's how many employees a lot of these local school 93 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: districts will have. That's it's not we're trying to do 94 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: everything on the uput up. And then you got people 95 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: mobilizing for their own money, and then you got people 96 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: their spouses they're voting. You start with conceivably a two 97 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: thousand person advantage in some cases of people who are 98 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: going to financially benefit off of you getting. 99 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 3: Screwed referendums going yeah, but our lawmakers looked at all 100 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: this and said, this seems reasonable to me. Let the 101 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 3: school districts take care of it. So anyway more money, 102 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 3: they're going to have to work for it. 103 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: So what you're going to have now is you're going 104 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: to have these school districts. They're going to try to 105 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: do these referendums. Now, people who like me, it would 106 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,679 Speaker 1: be great sport and fun for me to beat another. 107 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 4: One. 108 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: One of the things that I don't think some of 109 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: these school districts are going to think through is that 110 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: you're going to have many of these school board members 111 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: up for reelection while these referendums are on the ballot. 112 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: You're going to now have more people voting because they're 113 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: in the general election. You won't be able to just 114 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: mobilize your people like those sneaks, he scoundrels and Amon 115 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: did so. I don't think you're going to see them 116 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: passed at the rate you've seen them pass before. But 117 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous that you have to even go through this process. 118 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: And I blame the Indiana General Assembly because people like 119 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: us have been screaming about this, and yet they still 120 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: pass this bill that did nothing to curtail to spending. 121 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: It did nothing to increase accountability in local governments across 122 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: the board, including our schools, and it's just made the 123 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: problem infinitely worse. 124 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: Well, and they threatened right, staff cuts, larger classes, reduced programming. 125 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 3: These are all the things we're going to have to 126 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 3: deal with or they're just. 127 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 2: Going to do the referendum. 128 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they use kids as human shields. It's the 129 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: only place like what do we hear all the time 130 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: in our business? Hey, Unfortunately we had to let blah 131 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: blah blah, go right, you know, and sometimes that person 132 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: had been here fifteen twenty years. 133 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 4: Right. 134 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: Every industry other than government is going through this right now. 135 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: And the question everyone should be asking when these referendums 136 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: pop up in your school district is what did you 137 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: do with all the money, the excess revenue that you 138 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: have received over the past five years. I know what 139 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: they did where I lived. They build a bunch of 140 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: fieldhouses and an extra football field. Oh and they build 141 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: a giant road near my neighbor's backyard to ruin their day. 142 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 4: So it's going to be. 143 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: A real tough cry for me, Argentina Spiel in a 144 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: lot of these, especially suburban school districts, when you're able 145 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: to point out, look at all this up, the tennis courts, 146 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: all of this stuff that has nothing to do with 147 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: actual in classroom learning, and now you come out and 148 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: cry poor. 149 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 4: I don't think a lot of people go buy that. 150 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: You're listening to Kendall and Casey.

Yes, Durham government. 341 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 4: Show being abolished. 342 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: You hit the nail on the head, Casey, They're still 343 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: all getting paid. 344 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 3: She emphasized the fragility of democracy and has called for 345 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 3: unity the what fragility of democracy? 346 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 2: Hell, it's very fragile? 347 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 4: Or do we don't limited democracy? 348 00:15:59,280 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: Kid Glove. 349 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 4: Maybe that's the problem with her. She doesn't know. We 350 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 4: don't live in a. 351 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: Democracy, constitutional republic. It is kind ofly Casey. It's ninety 352 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 3: three WYBC. 353 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 4: Children can't read, not all of them. 354 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 3: That's according to the latest report, three forty students are 355 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 3: going to be repeating third grade for not meeting reading 356 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 3: proficiency standards. 357 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: So the Indiana Capitol Chronicle has the article. Other people 358 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: have put it out as well that yes, as you said, 359 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: three thousand Indiana students are now required to repeat the 360 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: third grade. And look, we're going to get into this 361 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: with Niki Kelly coming up at ten point fifteen from 362 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: the Capitol Chronicle. But what is wild is that not 363 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: that long ago, before this law was passed, there were 364 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: thousands of kids who could not read, and they were 365 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: just sending them to the fourth grade. 366 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 2: Right, just passing them on. 367 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 3: But now there was legislation passed in twenty four tied 368 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: to the IRA Read Exam that says, no, if they 369 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 3: aren't proficient, they have to repeat third grade. 370 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 2: And this is the first enforcement of it. 371 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 3: So here we are three thoy forty students repeating third grade. 372 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, the what's wild is and this should give you 373 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: an idea of how many kids could not read. Just 374 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. According to the Capitol Chronicle, 375 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: only four hundred and twelve kids were held back. So 376 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: look are we what's still saying mountain out of the 377 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: mole hill type of thing? Like, Okay, that number sounds 378 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: like a lot, but in the context of how many 379 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: actual third graders there are in the state, is that 380 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: really that big of a deal. Do we need to 381 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: have some perspective on this and say, wow, you see 382 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: that number and you go, oh, that's stuff staggering number. 383 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 4: But then you know, I don't know. 384 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: I eighty seven okay, so according to this article, this 385 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to get my my brain round 386 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: eighty seven point According the article, eighty seven point three 387 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: percent of third graders. About seventy three thousand, five hundred, 388 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: five hundred out of more than eighty four thousand students 389 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: statewide demonstrated proficient reading skills in twenty four twenty five. Okay, 390 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: So as a society, are we willing to look at that? 391 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: By the way, that is a five percentage point increase 392 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: from the previous school year, and that's the largest single 393 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,479 Speaker 1: year over year jump since twenty thirteen, since they went 394 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: to this IRI test. So are we willing as a 395 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: society to say that we're accepting thirteen percent of our 396 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: students in third grade can't meet this target? And if not, then, 397 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you can almost solve any problem if you 398 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: throw enough money at it. But how much money? Because 399 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: they're haling us going, look, we did all these things 400 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: and we've but at what cost? Right, at what cost? 401 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 4: Did we do this? 402 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 2: Well? 403 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 3: No, I think as a society we're saying, no, thirteen 404 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 3: percent isn't good. That's why these students are repeating third grade. 405 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 3: And the question why they made the legislation, Well, the. 406 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: Question then becomes why and how much can you actually 407 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: do about it? You know, what do they call it? 408 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: Low hanging fruit? At some point you're going to reach 409 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: sort of a critical mass in terms of who you 410 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: can actually help because a lot of this starts and 411 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: ends in the home. Like, I get that school is valuable. 412 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm not disputing that a good teacher can certainly help 413 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 1: a student. But realistically, kids progress, and some kids are 414 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: smarter than others in different brain functions and capacities. But 415 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: kids progress based on how engaged their parents are at home. 416 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 2: Okay, you bring that up. 417 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 3: And an interesting statistic from this is that there were 418 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 3: over ten thousand students who didn't meet the standard, but 419 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 3: seven thousand of them received good cause exemptions. And I'm 420 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 3: not talking about a large portion of those students were 421 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 3: special education students. But then you had twenty four percent 422 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 3: of them. We're learning English for the first time, so we. 423 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 4: Just let you go. 424 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 1: This is what I don't understand about this whatever, Like, Okay, 425 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: so if you can't speak English, then we just say, 426 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: see you go on to the next grade. 427 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds like they're sayings. 428 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: Sounds like we're offering favorable treatment to people who can't 429 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: speak English. Shouldn't we be doing the exact opposite of 430 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: that and saying, eh, until your kid gets affluency on 431 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: this because what you're basically doing with that then is 432 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: you're encouraging the parents in the home to not be 433 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: speaking English. And if anything, you should have a higher 434 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: onus on saying assimilating. 435 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 4: Yes, I mean you're basically a rewarding or. 436 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: Incentivizing these parents not to have to get their act together. 437 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 4: And be able to speak English and make their kids 438 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 4: speak English. 439 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 2: Right, that's right. 440 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 3: If they want to be and they want to assimilate 441 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 3: to this culture, part of that is learning to speak English. 442 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, So anyway and read it, I think there's you 443 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: like we're under some sort of delusion. And by the way, 444 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: Indiana has tried everything with public education, and it's all 445 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: it almost always seems to be getting worse than better. 446 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: But you reach a point where until we're willing to 447 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,239 Speaker 1: recognize and say out loud that a big problem. Not 448 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: just with kids. I'm not talking about kids being able 449 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: to read. I'm talking about our society as a collective. 450 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: Starts and ends in the home. And until you're willing 451 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: to have nuclear families that stay engaged and fathers that 452 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: stay engaged and to round their kids and see themselves 453 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: as something other than a sperm bank, actually see them 454 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: as dads and are willing to read to these kids 455 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: at home, are willing to do, you know, watch videos 456 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: with them at home, willing to you know, play with 457 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: them at home. You're just gonna have some children, unfortunately 458 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: that you're not ever you can hold them back and 459 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: hold them back, hold them back. It's just not going 460 00:21:59,520 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: to work. 461 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 3: The onus goes on them, right, Yeah, not just the 462 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 3: school sure, So the Department of Education is going to 463 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 3: launch an online dashboard with ire results by district and 464 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 3: by school, so you can see those results where you live. 465 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: One of the things too that we have done, and 466 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: I'm very critical of the public education system, of course. 467 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 4: But a big part of this rests with our. 468 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: Lawmakers in which they have gutted and de incentivized teacher's 469 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: ability to teach. So much of this and this stuff 470 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: full disclosure, not disclosure, but full you know, if we're 471 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: being transparent and honest with our audience. A lot of 472 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: this started under Mitch Daniels. This emphasis on standardized testing 473 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: started and began under Mitch Daniels and the Tony Bennett administration, 474 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: as it did nationally as well with the federal government. 475 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: And in order to get money, you got to have 476 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: kids doing such and such in a blah blah blah, 477 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: but we don't because everything is so taught to the test, 478 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: because the test is the funding and the scores came 479 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: out and this is the number one school system, or 480 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: these are the best at this, or that. You have 481 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: these teachers who then get judged based on how the 482 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: kids do the test, and you have stopped having these 483 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: The independence of the educator there always used to be like, 484 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure this this way when you were growing up. 485 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how it was in the fifties, 486 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: but I'm just guessing that in elementary school, everybody knew 487 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: who the great teacher was. Like if you went into 488 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 1: such and such grade, oh, you really wanted so and so, 489 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: and that was a big deal to find out who 490 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: your teacher was.
