Housing is so difficult if you rented a room to a caregiver they might give you a deal. As for caregivers you get what you pay for. Cheap and caregiver doesn’t exist around here. Expect to pay at least 25 hr maybe more if they have more qualifications. It’s a very old population in Vermont so caregivers are very few and far between. Good luck though.

This is deranged. A decent society would have well funded smaller community schools in every neighborhood. We know what our kids need to thrive, we actively choose to deny them of that. We constantly make the situation worse, not better. Smaller classes. Better pay for teachers to attract the best. Its truly deranged. And if your reason for denying our kids a good education is funding, then I’ve a got a bridge for sale in NY I’d like to discuss with you as you clearly have zero sense. We are the wealthiest country in the world. We are supposedly a Christian nation. It is a choice to deny our kids the education we know that most will thrive in.

What are we doing folks? We are objectively a society that hates its children. The two leading causes of death for children in our country are guns and car accidents. Both could be almost entirely eliminated if us adults collectively decided to actually give a shit.

It took a surprisingly quick 3 month wait to get set up with a GP, had a 15 minute appointment where I barely was able to address 1 of my 3 major heath problems, and came out of it without a concrete treatment plan. Now it's been a month of phone tag following up, still no action. And I am expecting to get "why did you wait so long to get all of this looked at", "why didn't you tell us" next time I go in there.

I would love medical care. I would love to not just suck it up and suffer every day. I just don't know what I can even do at this point. I try to be kind and thoughtful and understanding of what's going on in their world, but I guess you have to get assertive at some point or something? It's not in my nature to be aggressive like that and they're already going through enough, but I don't feel I have a choice.

Glen Lake is very small and nice, Lake St. Catherine is beautiful but lots of motorboats and houses, my personal favorite place for kayaking or small boat sailing is Chittenden Reservoir. Chittenden reservior is very little known, it has pretty much the cleanest water ive ever seen in a lake in VT, theres no houses and very few people on it. Highly recommend. Keep an eye out for big rocky shores for spots to sit on a rock and eat or swimming. my favorite spot is on the right (from the lot) theres like a bay ish area and a boulder you can climb and the water is very deep.

> Private schools are all operated for profit, not for education

Get out more guy. Many many small schools do NOT make a profit at all. Many are in operation because the operators are really into education and making lives better for our kids. My kid is in a private school that takes tuition funds and we constantly need to fund raise. Us parents get together to help with building maintenance. Painting, scrapping, pluming, building wheelchair ramps etc. Not sure what places you are thinking of but most private schools in Vermont are not raking in the dough and paying huge salaries. That high pay is for the bloated admin in all the districts around the state.

Also if you have noticed religious schools often cost way less than public. For example the Christian school near us is about 5,000 a year compared to about 18,000. I don't think anyone is getting rich there but if they are on a quarter the cost well more power to em.
