Radical 90s Wizard posted:What in the fuuuuuuuuck So this is a really lovely headline. The gist of it is that the girl has ADHD and has become violent towards her mother multiple times (3 police calls in a year?) and also stole someone's phone from their locker. The terms of her probation included staying at home, checking in with her casworker and completing her homework. When she didn't complete her homework the judge deemed her to be violating probation and she got sent to juvi. The hosed up part is that in juvi she's in a treatment program and she's getting better but the judge deemed that she's not ready to go until she's done the program. It's clear that the home situation wasn't good and she needed help. It's terrible that people like her have to go to jail before the government can give her the mental health treatment she needs. It's awful optics that they're sending black kids to jail even if it's to take her out of a bad(?) situation and help her get better.

Public schools suck hardcore for kids with special needs. Add in the fact that it’s a child of color and you can pretty much assume they are getting suspended or having the resource officer called on them. My daughter’s best friend dad is a social worker for the schools, the stories he tells me are absolutely heartbreaking. Kids with autism getting pinned down because they were stemming in class. A little boy with adhd was wrapped up in a blanket because he kept leaving his chair. The teacher was at least fired for that one.

I still don't buy it. A system where you're simplifying campaign promises into a very basic "kept/broken" metric is not one you use if you're trying to discuss nuanced distinctions, especially when it feeds into larger aggregations to claim "Trump has kept 25% of his campaign promises". And "beep boop that's the way the algorithm works nothing we can do about it" reeks of disingenuous techbro bullshit. If this is how their system evaluates things that's a sign that it's a worthless system.

If this is how their system evaluates things that's a sign that it's a worthless system. It was established to solve quite a different problem and a result of that is this. The system as designed and described on their website is based solely on outcome. There are thousands of claims by local and national politicians and pundits that they would achieve some unachievable aim, feeling safe that they could claim it because nobody would be watching. So a system was designed to be principally independent of intent so that somebody submitting an obviously unpassable law didn't count as 'doing work' to cloud their reputation system. An outcome of this this particular example--changing the system because an outcome goes against your political beliefs challenges its authority as a neutral observer. Parading a bunch of "it's technically true, but only technically" excerpts like 'Trump told the truth about preserving social security--because he failed', and 'Trump did increase the number of jets--by accepting a bunch of broken unoperational ones' the day after a bunch of posts about how he's failed his goals and is lying about coronavirus seems at worst neutral and potentially trying to write something between the lines. Edit: don't get me wrong, maybe there's all kinds of evidence on a super deep dive that there's some sort of incipient bias the other way--I don't know these guys, but I just think there's a quick to leap to 'gently caress-that-person, lets get them!" on Twitter. piL fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Jul 24, 2020 |

A synopsis of a politifact article I just read posted:"It is estimated that something awful is a 90% dead comedy forum*." ~ Defenes I had an effort post thought out, but I thought this would be a better way to get my point across without derailing the thread entirely. Their fact checking seems mostly arbitrary in the most head scratching ways. edit: ""Food Stamp participation hits 10 year low."- Donald Trump, Rated True. "Due to a government shutdown, February 2019 had the lowest participation percentage — only 2.22% of people received SNAP benefits." So, one of those gets a mostly true, because some dudes may quibble over the efficacy over a study, but the other one gets an unequivocated true, because.... reasons?

An outcome of this this particular example--changing the system because an outcome goes against your political beliefs challenges its authority as a neutral observer. I guess it comes down to a question of what Politifact's purpose is. If the purpose is to provide a purely utilitarian evaluation of "does politician X achieve their stated goals" then that's probably valid, though a really dumb way of assessing things. But if the purpose is to help people evaluate whether a politician stays true to their campaign promises then this is an utter failure. If Politifact really wants to hew that strictly to the wording, then any claim a presidential candidate makes about cutting or allocating funds should be considered invalid, since it's congress that actually makes those budgets. The best a presidential candidate could claim is "I will not propose a budget that cuts X". This is generally how presidential proposals are interpreted, even if they're not exactly phrased that way, and if he had said it that way it would have been false. Or, if congress had passed a budget that cut medicare, well, the president only signed it, he wasn't actually the one who made the cuts. It's especially egregious when it comes to negative proposals. If Trump promised that he would not raise an army of undead confederate soldiers to invade Washington, Politifact would have to rate that as a kept promise. Hence my original comment, I could be the most truthful person in existence by promising not to do a bunch of impossible stuff.

mlmp08 posted:This is overly broad. Public schools are highly variable due to how very localized and balkanized they are. A lot of charters pull shenanigans to outright deny entry or services to special needs kids. I meant it in the compared to typical gen ed students. Special education/exceptional classroom students are suspended at a substantially higher rate than their peers in a traditional classroom. I think the national average is 4 times as much. It’s a hard process because I absolute feel for teachers having to deal with it, but when it’s bad it’s really bad, especially for children of color. Private schools are all over the place and charters probably are worse. Charter schools are technically public schools so their governed by IDEA (until Betsy DeVos guts it) so if the student goes there then they have to receive services or the state had to pay for them to go to a specialized school.

After a year in third grade with my high functioning autistic son constantly getting in trouble due to "disruption" the last two years of home schooling has been mentally less draining. Kids are awful and will figure out a way to taunt and bully those who will give them the biggest most entertaining reactions.
