All of you clowns went to Private School?
Or just your kids?
I went to an all White Public School and received an education that allowed me to get an advanced degree in Engineering.
Back then Public Schools in the US were fine.
Then came desegregation and the Federal government's Department of Education. It didn't take very many years for the system to go to hell.
When my son's started school in the 1980s we sent them to private schools because the public schools were the ass.
My wife knew this to be a fact because she was a teacher. She said that in a decade she was forced to go from being a real teacher to babysitting dumbass minorities and making sure that the parents didn't bitch to administration about racism. She tried to help the students that really wanted to learn but the expectations for the students was pretty low. She was told point blank she couldn't fail any of the Negroes.
Must be a Regional thing
I taught in a very large very diverse HS in the early 90’. In the agricultural valley in CA.
I was NEVER told how to teach or grade a specific “group”. Never.
there are good teachers and some good schools. However, in totality the public school sytem in the US is a joke.
We can be better than that.
The voucher system is a great way to get back on the right track.
Explain to me how the voucher system will work
You would just be moving kids around and creating some worse schools
How does Transportation work?
For example, How do you transport students A,B,C from the same neighborhood to 3 different schools that are out of area Because they want to use their vouchers at schools X,Y and Z.
Can you address these please.
How do the vouchers work?
Simple.
You pay in taxes and then you get that tax money back so that you can use it pay the tuition at at any school you want.
Of course because we live in a filthy ass welfare state you would get that voucher whether you paid taxes or not but that is another discussion.
I don't give a shit how you get to the school. That is your problem.
When our sons went to a private school there were no buses to pick them up but we always got them to school because we wanted them to get a good education.5 year span says “No significant difference “
How is that a decline?
Compare that to the 70’ and 80’s.
No improvement in 5 years, significant decline over 50 years.
Hey, but teachers retire with 6 figure incomes, and that's what's really important.
I posted link from SAT and. NAEP that show improvement from the 80’s.
You just mention talking points.
Schools are definitely improved over the decadesof 70’ and 80’s. The data shows that.
Where is your data?
Of course you don’t have any.
Just a small sample to fit your agenda.
Dude, I READ your link, which you didn't.
Your source was fine, it just didn't say what you claimed.
