The best teacher I ever had was 9th grade algebra back in the 70s. We were assigned problems in the next section of the book without lecture. We had to go figure it out and do the homework and then he would go over it in class. Worked for those of us easily bored.

Democrats could jump up and down naked on the capital dome and no one would hear them. Trump has the media locked down and no reasonable voices get heard. The clickbate stories get preference.

I worked in IT for the USAF for a while. There are lots of inefficiencies. Most of them were put in place to prevent corruption. I used to have to get the same 12 approvals on a routine software purchase as I did a minicomputer.
