I'm sorry you can't take the facts. But the public schools are falling behind religious schools and charter schools and private schools in the success of their students. Facts. And for less money. In most cases this is the fault of the unions who only pretend to be for the kids. They use that terminology as a useful tool. They are in fact there for and existing for the benefits of the teachers over anything else. More pay, less hours, shorter seasons, more security and all at the expense of the students.

Logically Right

My fact checkers say your fact checker is a s**m.

It has been criticised for its methodology and accuracy.
According to Daniel Funke and Alexios Mantzarlis of the Poynter Institute, "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."[8] In 2018, the Columbia Journalism Review identified Media Bias/Fact Check as "an armchair media analysis."[9] Additionally, the Columbia Journalism Review described Media Bias/Fact Check as an amateur attempt at categorizing media bias and characterized their assessments as "subjective assessments [that] leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in".[2]

Palmer Report exclusive: “Media Bias Fact Check” is a malicious s**m site
One look at the “Media Bias Fact Check” website reveals it to be something that looks like it was created in 1995. Despite claiming in its tag line to be “The most comprehensive media bias resource,” the site turns out to simply be one guy named Dave Van Zandt who posts wh**ever he feels like. He claims to use a “strict methodology” for assigning bias ratings to various news outlets, but his “ratings” typically read like the gibberish one might find in an unmoderated comment section in the lowest corners of the internet.

Just because a source is rated either right or left doesn't mean the story is not factual. Those ratings are generally done by left leaning fact checkers who come with their own bias. Those ratings generally reflect the leanings of the commentators who are opinion "slots". They are criminals because they CHOSE to be criminals and as long as snowflakes like you make excuses for bad behavior you will get more bad behavior. My dad lived through the Great Depression. Not only were they hungry all the time but they never stole or accepted relief. It's called morals.

It's about that time of year, Missouri. Get ready to shift your clocks ahead and say goodbye to an hour of sleep. This spring's daylight saving time — the bi-annual tradition of moving ahead an hour in the spring and moving back in the fall — is almost here. And yes, it is daylight saving time, not savings.

Here's all you need to know about the time change in Iowa, and why that supposed "permanent" daylight saving time isn't happening — yet.
When is daylight saving time 2023?

This year's daylight saving time change will take place on March 12 at 2 a.m. CT. At that time, clocks will turn ahead one hour to 3 a.m. Daylight saving time will end on Nov. 5 at 2 a.m.
Wait, wasn't daylight saving time supposed to end permanently?

In short, we could have, but we didn't.

In 2022, the U.S. Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act to get rid of daylight saving time and have the country remain in standard time permanently. However, passing the Senate was about all the bill got to do in its brief existence. It was not signed into law by the end of the 2022 session.

Missouri has tried something similar before, such as in 2015 when a Lamar Republican proposed making daylight saving time permanent via a constitutional amendment. But the bill was never v**ed on, and time changing remains the modus operandi in Missouri for now.

As of now, daylight saving time is still in play until further notice in most states. Sorry, standard time loyalists.
Which states observe daylight saving time?

Forty-eight of the 50 United States observe daylight saving time. The only states that do not are Arizona and Hawaii. Arizona hasn't observed daylight saving since 1978, and Hawaii is exempt in large part because of geography. Summer and winter don't differ much there, making daylight saving not all-that-saving in practice.
Why was daylight saving time created?

The U.S. Department of T***sportation, which oversees daylight saving time because of how interconnected time zones are to t***sportation, says that daylight saving time conserves energy. When the sun sets later, it's presumed that people will stay out longer and spend more time outside. In theory, that will lead to less energy usage from appliances.

Benjamin Franklin proposed the idea in 1784 after noticing people burning candles through the night but sleeping past dawn. However, the first national daylight saving time, set forth in a measure known as Standard Time Act, occurred in 1918 as a way to conserve coal during World War I. It took on its modern form in 1966 when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act.
What are the problems with daylight saving time?

In recent years, many have argued that the cons of daylight saving time outweigh its pros. For one, some studies have shown that energy saved by conserving energy on lighting and appliances is outweighed by increased usage of air conditioning and heating.

A bigger criticism of daylight saving time, however, is what it does to sleep patterns. Changing clocks can mess with our bodies' circadian rhythm, or simply, our body clocks. The loss of an hour of sleep, disrupting the body's daily patterns, is thought to trigger symptoms of mental illnesses and lead to lethargy. These symptoms, however, are believed to fade as the body adapts to the time change.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine in 2020 called for the United States to abolish daylight saving and switch to a permanent standard time.
