Important question time, and ChatGPT wasn’t able to help here. A friend of mine was talking about some neighbors he had in an apartment building that smoked an impressive amount of weed, and that it changed the atmosphere.
For some reason I had immediately thought of “wow they replaced earth’s atmosphere with just weed smoke.”
So now for the question. How big would a joint have to be to accomplish this?
I’m not an expert, but I have to imagine it’s in relation to the fact that public education in the United States tends to be rather underfunded. Teachers often don’t have all the resources to do their jobs effectively, and many resort to paying for resources out of their own pocket.
Pair that with the fact that the average salary for a teacher in a public school is almost criminally low for a position that has a massive impact on our social outcomes, and you get students that are disengaged and overall not as prepared as they could be.
This is all just what I’ve gathered from reading news articles over time. I’m sure there are several other factors at play.
This reminds me of a joke I read forever ago that is stuck in my brain.
Did you hear about the cows grazing in the marijuana patch?
The stakes have never been higher.
