I'm more for a capitalist system. Business to client relationship between the schools and the parents. The Schools run by a private management firm for the cities can then fight over contracts, save the cities tons of money if not make them some. All that staff and overhead that can be cut, and potentially all those facility costs that can be born by the companies and paid directly by the students families who are saving on local property taxes increasing the overall quality of life by reducing tax burden allowing for money to be spent or invested in different ways.Right. Did you know in the twin cities, you can't be on the board of education if you are not a member of the teacher's union? Smell a conflict of interest?No, Big Fitz, that's why the people elect their superintendents and board members. That is called republicanism, a representative form of government. You must be a liberal if you want a straight democracy.
I agree with you on a school teacher serving on the board of education of his district, but I have no problem if he is serving on the state board.
MN is also perhaps the most lib state in the nation.
That's more my model. Oh, and unruly kids can be kicked out and discipline maintained.
And yes, MN is in the top five most liberal states, as well as top 5 most heavily taxed per capita. Of course, you can find that information at the jason lewis show website regarding taxes per capita. The government hides it and it must be extrapolated.
