You can't base hiring decisions on outdated metrics. Get with the program!

What are you talking about? (Post 48) There's no way my venue of employment would hire a half-illiterate person.

Let's see. I went to a city high school. Our freshman class was around 1300. Our graduating class was 361. That was in 1987 in Michigan.

You went to school with a bunch of morons, or with a bunch of Michigan folk. Your call.

LMAO!

They already hired at least one half-(or more!) literal (minded) person.

Grow a sense of humor, eh?

It was a broad mix of cultures and races. Those who dropped out we're either low income whites or blacks.

A lot of backyards need cleaning up. We, in the border states have a large dropout rate. Can't be P.C. and tell the reason why!

LOL - I was being facetious. I was not poking fun at morons - just Michiganders!

As for vouchers, I pose the question of what if:

A muslim charter school opens up in your ( or anyones' )neighborhood?

Pandora box?
unexepected consequences?

Maybe a hard call!

When you're competing with every politician's darling, uneducated illegal aliens, for entry level jobs, you can't waste time in school.

Nor do you need school to stand on the corner and be a hooker or a drug-pusher.

This is too much competition for the illegal aliens! We need to graduate all the kids and then give then $25k grants to the college of their choice.
