Amateur education bashing by undereducated people who don't realize they are attempting to change something that doesn't need to be changed anymore is what they are.

Too bad having more money doesn't do much. The generation that sent people to the moon and created all kinds of new inventions and science went to schools that had only blackboards and chalk; today they have all kinds of gadgets, laptops, and other rubbish and they're producing mostly halfwits with high self-esteem.

Yeah, you want school resources to be determined by community wealth. Just come out and say it.

One of those other districts sits less than an hour north, in Chicago's affluent suburbs, nestled into a warren of corporate offices: Rondout School, the only campus in Rondout District 72.

It has 22 teachers and 145 students, and spent $28,639 on each one of them.

What does that look like?

Class sizes in Rondout are small, and every student has an individualized learning plan. Nearly all teachers have a decade of experience and earn, on average, more than $90,000. Kids have at least one daily break for "mindful movement," and lunch is cooked on-site, including a daily vegetarian option.

I'll come out and say it.

IT is unconstitutional of the Federal Government to be involved in Education.

Let the States deal with it, if at all.

When the Government gets involved in education, the temptation to indoctrinate is too tempting.


Why do you think "education" is compulsory and not voluntary? Because what they have constructed is no longer education, it is indoctrination.

It is a fallacy to believe that MORE RESOURCES = BETTER EDUCATION. This first needs to be proved.

More Money Does Not Equal Better Public Schools

Honestly, the States should butt out of local education as well...the local town or district should be in charge of educating their own children.

Amateur education bashing by undereducated people who don't realize they are attempting to change something that doesn't need to be changed anymore is what they are.

If you are correct about the schools then it must be the students themselves that are the problem.

Perhaps we are trying to cram a academic education down the throats of a lot of kids who are simply unable to comprehend the material as in they lack the cognitive ability to deal with the various subjects taught in school.

Could it be that the real problem is politics....aka political correctness and their ideology of all kids being equal?

Irregardless................

'The American public has been aware of the poor performance of our schools since the Reagan Administration published A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Education Reform in 1983. Since then, educational reformers have engaged in several major programs, such as the No Child Left Behind Act and the Common Core State Standards Initiative. Despite these efforts, the performance of our schools is still unsatisfactory. We have one of the highest levels of educational spending per student in the world, yet American students’ performance in international comparisons of educational quality is consistently mediocre. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (2017), only 25 percent of American 12th grade students are proficient in math, 22 percent are proficient in science, and 12 percent are proficient in U. S. history.'

Congratulations! How long did it take for you to arrive at the truth?

As most should know but maybe they do not...Public Schools are under control of the Federal Government.

How did that come about? Most probably do not remember the days when most kids lived closed enough to their public school they could walk or bike there.

All that changed when the government became obsessed with forcing integration on everyone. We all know how that has big one stupdenouos failure to the tune of billions and billions of dollars....and there is no end in sight....the the Feds keep puring money into that failed concept trying to make it work. If they had spent all that money on creating quality schools for blacks as well as for whites....we would have one fantastic school system.

Does anyone know just how one program alone involved with that costs us billions of dollars....bussing......huge,huge, hugely expensive and all it has done is to transfer ghetto problems to the suburbs.

No one knows the problems of the public schools like the local officials...but what is happening of course is that bureaucrats in Washington far removed .....are creating the policies for our public schools.

Depite all the evidence that Washington is the huge problem in so many areas....some want to give more and more control to the Feds. Why is that?

I have little trust in the states but:

In general if their kids can pass a federal test at the end of each year so we know "passed 1st grade" in Alaska = "passed 1st grade" in Texas I'm neutral.

Eisenhower had to send the Band of Brothers in to get control of some idiot state who tried using National Guard to enforce segregation. We have to keep control of local level bigots and idiots.
