Washington DC is already one of the highest-spending school districts in the country, and the results are abysmal.
Obama is not for Reparations, but he points out the dreadful conditions of the buildings of some public schools in poorer districts. Oddly, Kucinich is for reparations.
“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” “Maybe a hundred ... ... that’d be fine with me,” McCain responds The ONLY Democratic candidate who supports the idea of Reparations is Dennis Kucinich.
“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” “Maybe a hundred ... ... that’d be fine with me,” McCain responds As long as the natives are running the inner-city schools, the facilities will be awful. But that's not why the kids aren't getting educated. Because even if you had the best facilities in the world, what good would it do when 90% of inner-city black kids are illegitimate and are surrounded by crime and other social pathologies in their neighborhoods and homes?
They must be allergic to all the frns...
The education schools "deciders" have plagued us for decades, but what's your "why" for the failure of public education?
Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things. T. S. Eliot
The average pay of a superintendent is $350,000. On average, the ratio of teachers to administrators in school districts is 2:1 and is approaching 1:1 currently. Most of the worst school districts spend the most money. ...and Obama wants to spend even more? No, no, no. Spend the money wisely instead of squandering it. Santa Clara Unified once spent $7M to build a private gym for the administrators. They then proposed a bond levy and cried poverty. More money will just go to more projects like that one and NOT to where it should go. But why not? Its not like its Obama's money. Spend it all! Drive us all broke instead of using the money appropriately. Start by firing most of the administrators.
Elect anyone but Obama, Clinton, or McCain.
“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” “Maybe a hundred ... ... that’d be fine with me,” McCain responds As I posted in Post #4: Because even if you had the best facilities in the world, what good would it do when 90% of inner-city black kids are illegitimate and are surrounded by crime and other social pathologies in their neighborhoods and homes? I'm not condemning public education. I'm just saying no education is going to work in general if the kids' home environment and neighborhoods are awful.
I've already said too much.
