Santorum Bashes Public Schools, Says They're Stuck In Factory Era

[Oddball]

You forget that more people are going to college in this generation. More than were even expected to finish high school in past generations. It's like expanding the NBA, NFL, and MLB to almost everyone. Would they be considered failures then with those playing that have no talent to do so?

Linky?

Its not local control. Every public school is scared to death of not getting federal funds. This is getting so bad, schools feed kids breakfast and lunch. I suppose eventually the kids will just come home on weekends, if the parents are available.

What difference does it make? The bottom line is that the poster didn't provide evidence that paying teachers more produces better outcomes for students.

We do not value our teachers, nurses, or military and pay them accordingly. Thus the high turn over and general lack of respect.

Nurses make plenty. If we weren't paying our soldiers enough, we couldn't man our military. The Pentagon isn't complaining that it doesn't have adequate manpower.

Teachers make far more than they deserve to make. It doesn't take a lot of education to teach kids how do read or do sums. Teaching majors are typically the bottom of the barrel academically.

The problem with public schools isn't that we don't pay teachers enough. The problem is that the government runs them. Socialism doesn't work in any industry, especially education.

Unfortunately for your claim, teachers aren't paid according to how well they do their jobs.[/B] They are paid according to seniority. You failed to show any correlation between spending on education and student achievement.

Ok....how would you set that up? Who would do the judging? What criteria would you set? How much more would you pay a teacher who performs well?

That's what I thought. You're long on mouth but when asked to offer your solution you're short on brains.

All you're showing is your total ignorance. You don't have a ******* clue what these people REALLY do in the course of making their living yet you're going to sit in judgement on what YOU think teachers and nurses should be paid and call them Socialists?

Are you always this stupid or is today a special occasion?

what dont you understand about 10 ******* percent? That's Every school across the nation uses 10% federal funds.

Are you that ******* stupid? you must be because now i have had to tell you stupid ***** 3 times in this thread.

Here let me also show you how ******* stupid you are.

Remember when there was an issue within Texas where a school board determined what went into the history books? The Feds had ZERO control over that issue. That book was to go across the nation for kids to learn with.

do me a favor and don't comeback to this thread, you are too stupid for this topic.

Those schools want the 10%. Can't handle the truth Plasmaball?

Do you deny that schools feed kids breakfast and lunch at many schools?

So, it's about FEEDING students, not controlling what is taught. Thank your for making Plasmaball's point.

In NYC, schools have offered free breakfast and lunch to poor students for at least the last 30 years.

This isn't something new...

BS, there is a waiting list for teachers and nurses and the military at this point.
Military is going to lay off soldiers.

No those funds are mainly for emergency reasons only you dumb piece of ******* shit.

Seriously where you kicked in the head by a horse when you where a kid?

Same goes for food dumbshit. Food is added in with that 10% you ******* moron.

You know why you have such a poor education? Well if you went to public schools...Its because your local and state failed you. Not the feds. Its apparent whatever education you got, it failed you.

Like i told Oddball. You have a problem with how students are being educated? Go to your local ******* meeting and raise a stink you stupid ****.

this guy sounds like what i am told Right Winger posters sound like.....i was told the Left is much more refined ......was i lied to again?.....

i have to agree...there were kids at my kids school getting free lunches back in the 80's....

Oh I know there was a luunch program for the poor kids for a long time. Now our schools have breakfast programs too and its open to all students. Some schools even send food home for the weekend. The state is going to feel they can tell people everything to do with our kids. Like I said earlier, the kids will probably just come home on the weekends, if the parents are available at some point in the future.

Why are parents not acting responsible?

Because they keep electing folks that TAKE THE $$$$ WHEN GIVEN.
Our county is 100% Republican representatives.
They would scream bloody murder if you cut off that program.
Truth is citizens with their hands out demanding government $$$ cover every political party on earth.

but you said the feds have total control. now its the state. You literally are too stupid for words.

Where did I say the feds have total control? Pretty poor debater when you have to make up things to argue about that the other person didn't say. I could care less about your ignorant speech. Your just a lowlife troll.

Cheaper than sending them to war. Costs 1 million per troop to fight a war. 100,000 troops in Afghanistan cost 100 billion a year to keep them there.
Plus the costs of deaths and wounded and future disability adds another 200K per troop.
