My thesis is on the educational policies in Project 2025. I live in Florida, so we've been getting the preview from DeSantis
does anyone know what a school tracking number means for gulc?

Prob internal
is it weird that some people have one and others dont
@CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage: idk if Irish wants to hear about project 2025 lmfao. It's probably what it will be but I think Irish is kinda against that stuff. May want to give em a winning strategy against that stuff. Irish would probably be more interested in that.

But yes, we must all work together to stop the destruction of the Dept of Ed!
Ehh I am pretty fine with it going away... I respect your fight Irish but don't think I am on board lol.
I never technically graduated from high school despite getting an undergrad degree and I blame the department of education for it...

Wow. It sounds like the system really failed u, I’m sorry
Idk if it did. Kinda a weird system where I could type up all my essays for school but then the writing proficiency was hand written and nobody could read my handwriting well so they failed me off of that.
Maybe that was my fault. Idk. Depends on how you look at things. I used to wrap my hand around in a big arch when I wrote. Might have been a me thing.

@KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel: I am also against that stuff. I got to New College, the school that DeSantis declared “ground zero” on his war on woke. I’ve seen my friends get targeted, bogus conduct charges, staff fired for now legitimate reason. I was a student plaintiff on a lawsuit against the school and state Board of Governors. I am definitely not loved by the administration

@IrishDinosaur: Not sure what state you’re in, but if you want to know anything about what it’s like to have Chris Rufo as a trustee, math books be cancelled for being “too woke,” or how things have played out at the “blueprint for recapturing higher ed,” I’m happy to chat.
