  • This isn’t really true in rural communities. However, this imo is a bigger economy issue than it is an education issue. Truth is that kids as young as 11 and 12 are routinely hired for work in communities like these for the extra income they bring home to their families. Even farm kids on successful farms generally test or drop out of high-school even today. It’s just not worth it to spend all day in class when you can be making real money running the farm. And industrialized farms still need as many hands as they can get. What we need to do is take the profit out of basic food stuffs and subsidize it entirely as the basic necessity it is. Same with water and housing. There is no reason to squeeze every drop profit you can out of a venture except greed.

    I’m down for the apology. It just lost all impact when OP immediately follows up by blaming ADHD and impulsively. That’s exceptionally uncool considering the community that was affected. The sarcasm is also problematic especially considering the level of authority that was abused here. The post couldnt be removed by the exact people who are supposed to be able to remove content when needed. To take the attitude of “big deal, so scary” compounds my suspicion of immaturity and is not encouraging to see in an administrator.

    What I’m hearing is “I did a bad thing but I have ADHD and I said sorry so it’s a whoopsie that shouldn’t affect me” but without a genuine apology. Blaming the namesake of this space and “impulsivity” shows nothing but immaturity imo. We get it. You like money. You don’t like being called out. Maybe, don’t abuse the rules and you won’t get called out?
