Agree...............BUMP
No... that won't work ..... because..... who would they pit the 'have nots' against if everyone were able to go to the same 'good' school?!!!
But, in my ideal world there would be no Government Schools wrongly called The Public School System
Thanks for the link.
Professor of educational psychology: Racial Stereotypes May Affect Test Scores
The article leads me to the assumption that only black students are/were elligible for vouchers? Ouch.
Don't get me wrong, I know the educational issues, and I know the black educational issues. Just wondering about the tack-it appears they org only cares about blacks. Again, don't get me wrong- I seriously wonder if this is a good angle...
What BS. So let's send black children to private islamic schools. (Funded by huge federal taxes of course).
Democrats want to reward the teachers' union with money, but not hold them accountable for black children being trapped in failed public schools. Nearly 60 percent of black children drop out because public schools are failing to educate them, even though plenty of money is going into the public school system
This part? Or vouchers? Please clarify.
(I'm assuming that Nurse Julie here pinged me for who I am as a person, NOT just for our list. I could be wrong, though... </wisearse>)
Shall I be blunt this morning? It is because the teachers union have the money.
The reason the black children are dropping out is due to a variety of chaotic social problems.
Throwing big federal bucks at the problem is not the answer. Decent leadership in the black community would help for one thing.
Good. Take care of chaotic social problems.
In the meantime, since your chaotic social problems will not be fixed overnight, lets provide a school alternative break for people. I look at the voucher as a rebate in taxes paid into public schools for those who choose not to use state schools.
"Chaotic social problems" is no reason to force a person into public education.
p.s. white people use vouchers, too.
Good profile page!
"In fact the Government schools in black districts are more responsible for keeping blacks slaves to the liberal "victim ideology" than anything that conservatives could ever come up with."
How true this is. Just take a look at New Orleans for one example of proof.

The incorrect assumption is that I am 'Nurse Julie'.......LOL
I did ping you for 'who you are as a person'!
The fact that you have a a 'lost' is an added bonus!
The fact that you have a a 'lost' is an added bonus!
OOPS......meant to say 'list'......not 'lost'.
Note that some in the Islamic community are some of the biggest supporters of vouchers.
I look at the voucher as a rebate in taxes paid into public schools for those who choose not to use state schools.
Can I get some too since I don't have a child and would be paying for those vouchers?
It's OK! Don't tell anyone, but I really AM lost.
At least now since I have the LIST, I can give the pork chop back to my mom.... </dangerfield>
