That is all that is achieved anyway..... But meanwhile the jerkasses slow everyone down.
They do?
are you saying there are no Honors, or Advanced Placement classes in US public schools?

And you know who is in them too... The ones with the parents who always show up for band recital, field trips and the like.
Pretty much, education is split between kids whose parents care, and kids whose parents don't.
The answer is simple while accomplishing it may be impossible: hold all parents accountable who have children in public schools. If they want their children in extracirricular activities, parents have to complete and educational awareness course, sign a contract for parental involvement with homework and activities at school, and then keep it.
The failure has flatly been the primary responsibility of parental lack of involvement with their children's education.
Nope, I am right. The schools are failing because of the parents who will not get involved. If you have a better answer, let's hear it. I am all for parental accountability for their children, period.

I like what the charter schools are doing. Seems a pure Federalist approach.
Nonsense, Samson, as if holding parents accountable for their children's education is similar to North Korea. You're being silly. If you have a better plan, let's hear it.

In this, you are absolutely right. I know of a few 'international' schools that are war zones. There have been some incidents in the Twin Cities that have had terrorist recruiters get some boys to return to Somalia to fight for Al Quaeda in the civil war there, although this may have come through the mosques in the twin cities.Nope, I am right.

SOME Charter schools are great. Not all.
Not sure what you mean by a "Federalist approach?" If this references centralized authority, then it is inaccurate. Essentially, each Charter school has its own board. This represents a de-centralization of management authority, and allows much more control by parents: "the squeeky wheels get the grease."
On the other hand, funding comes from a "charter" granted by the state, whatever the school can scrape together from the feds, and often the local district will have some control over the location. For example, the local district might not allow a charter school to locate near one of their schools that need more students. Sometimes, the charter school will even need to raise its own funds, and will often require parents to pay a minimum "materials fee." This fee, although small, often discourages enrollment of economically disadvantaged students.

Close about 1/4 of the schools and only let in the ones that are proper students.
Throw out the dead weight.
Heck we don't have enough jobs anyway. Why spend money educating them?
It is socialist anyway So I am sure all the Tea Partiers will support this.
And what exactly are the unions doing? Putting profit (benefits/job security/money) before excellence.The major problem with private schools in the elementary and secondary levels is that they will (1) teach to Student Learning Outcomes instead of higher skills and knowledge, and (2) will put profit before educational excellence.
Big Fi.[/quote said: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?
