NEA: Obama looks for "New Ways" to "Punish" Teachers...

[Samson]

If the program is so bad why do the parents universally support it?
No, you got the real reason they are opposed: Republicans started it and unions are opposed to it.

Parents didn't wanna change schools AGAIN.

Had nothing to do with better learning, and everything to do with simple convenience.

You asked every parent involved and found that out?

Is this similar to your earthshattering discovery that restricting supply has no effect on price? You need a Nobel Prize for that. Even if the only thing you did was have good intentions.

Yes I asked every parent.

I also see you're still trying to fit square pegs into round holes.

That's about as believable as the administration's own pronouncement that the program didnt help. Actually independent analysis said it did. Whom are you going to believe?

School choice and voucher systems work great...just ask Mexico...they use it.

Well, I appreciate you getting a source that I do respect (WSJ). I wonder, though, why they wrote the OPEd piece before the jury came back with a verdict:

And independent evaluations -- another is scheduled for release later this month -- show that children in the program perform better academically than their peers who do not receive vouchers.

Who did this "independent evaluation?"

Why are its results more trustworthy than DOE's Three Year Study?

Why does everyone persist in comparing the USA to Japan, Mexico, or Tonga?

You guys realise these countries are nothing like our own, right?

Barry doesn't care. He sends his kids to private schools, just like me.

Ironically, (43)'s Daughters went to Austin Public...



peace...

Bill Clinton didn't send his daughter to public schools, but Mike Huckabee did. WTH is wrong with these Democrats? Don't they believe in public education?

Joe Biden sent his kids to public school.


It's a stupid statement. Presidents NEVER send their kids to public schools in Washington - D.C. Public schools are notoriously terrible.

But our healthcare system lags behind theirs. Which is why we need a new $1T entitlement. It's called "Keeping up with the Soci's"

Depends on which way the wind blows.
I am kidding of course. Every discussion about healthcare moans about how the US is behind this socialist workers paradise or that one. You're right that it is irrelevant.

It wasn't a discussion about America's position in education vis a vis other countries' either. Until you made it one.

Um....yeah....well, you just go right ahead and rant about healthcare and the socialist worker's paradise and I'll get you some coffee.

Back when Clinton was in office that guy would have been bringing him coffee.

I'm so fucking glad to have posted in this thread, I think I've peed myself.

peace...

And to think I was in Westminster today, getting my haircut (and a shave) at Floyd's 99, then buying an Icecream cake at Marble Slab after I ate lunch at Quedoba's.

From now on I'll just stay in Boulder!!!

That up by the Promenade?... Me and (2) Mexicans just went to see Clash of the Titans there last night in 3D...

Then we went to Dive @ 72nd and Pecos... Then to Mickeys... Then down to the Gothic where (2) of us got so Shitty that by the End of the Night, whenever that was, we were cut off, (1) of us fell in our own pee and another Puked on himself in the Van where he was left passed out by his Wife...

Not Claiming either.

I can tell you this, they Serve STRONG Crown's @ the Gothic and I ain't 20 anymore...

3 Bars in one Night was Probably NOT Wise...



peace...

Speaking of Boulder... I was ticketed for Urinating in Public outside of "The Bus Stop" and when I wrote the Check I wrote it to:

"The People's Republic of Boulder" with "Tyranny" in the Memo Line...

They Cashed it anyway...

That was 15 Years ago... Damn.
