The LA Times would much rather have results like this.
LAUSD students rallying "againts represion" and, apparently, againts taxpayrs.
Yeah the left has done such an excellent job at their schools. 93% of their graduates have learned to roll a condom on a banana, which doesn’t say much for the 7% who never figured it out.
Good for them.I’m all for anyone poking the libtards in the eyes at anytime,anywhere.
I almost want to get a teaching certificate after reading that.
I am sure most of their graduates go on to college and professional degrees and live lives of accomplishment.
The new wave. Just wait till all the home-schooled and students from these conservative charters hit the market place. The whining will be deafening, because in liberal circles, everyone must be compelled to be equally mediocre.
The best way to bring down the government schools is by nibbling at the edges and pushing to gradually deepen the bite. The Liberal/Marxists have been doing this with socialist programs for **decades**, and with great success.
A full-out frontal attack, such as Utah's attempt to legislate universal vouchers is bound to fail.
The way to destroy government K-12 schools is by doing the following:
1) Set up very **small** voucher or charter school programs to target a very, very narrow segment of the population. Utah is doing this with the Rachel Carson scholarships for the disabled. When one parent sees that another neighboring child is receiving a voucher for his problems with hearing, this mom demands a voucher for her child's dyslexia.
2) Gradually increase the number of children eligible for the vouchers and charters....Hey!...A legislator is a sensitive guy and, Gee!,... Look at the long waiting lists! As parents leave the standard government schools they take their votes and support for standard government K-12 schools with them.
3) Simultaneously, conservatives should encourage parents to abandon the government K-12 schools. This starves the government K-12 schools ( and the unions) of both students and funding.
4) Conservatives should set up and fund private, free, and conservative vouchers so that all students would have the opportunity to attend a private conservative school.
5) Encourage homeschooling and support its continued ( and phenomenal) growth.
6) Finally, if Muslims in Detroit can set up government funded charters then Christians ( Catholic and non-Catholic) can and **should** do the same!
The legislatures will not ignore the pleas and cries of those parents and woeful students who languishing on waiting lists, or who fail to win a spot in the yearly lotteries. All those tears are a compelling a photo opportunity for any legislator!
The “parent” at the end of this story (who pulled her kid out of the school - against the kid’s wishes - because they got upset she kept him out for Zero’s inauguration) should be arrested for child abuse.
Boy, the condescension and resentment just oozes from this “journalist’s” prose. Nothing annoys a lib like conservative success.
At least she will transition well into married life.
The reporter is a moron:
“With no lab equipment and an emphasis on textbook learning, it is hard to imagine that American Indian will turn out the next Darwin or Edison.”
What? Edison was essentially booted out of school after three months. His mother then took up the task of educating him. He learned as many people did in the nineteenth century: someone taught you to read, and then you read books, and read books, and read books. Apparently the reporter doesn’t know this. Idiot.
Darwin had a pretty standard education. He went to day schools. At 16 he apprenticed to a doctor, but didn’t like the work. Although he had already collected samples of insects and wildlife while still a boy, he really didn’t become much of a “doer” until after leaving the study of medicine.
The simple fact is that modern educrats - like this reporter - have been poisoned by Deweyite thinking into believing kids can’t learn unless they’re doing useless already-been-done-3 billion times-experiments.
The NUMBER ONE academic problem in teaching the young today - as opposed to a century ago - is getting kids TO READ.
Why don’t kids know anything about history? Because they don’t read.
Why don’t kids know how to write worth a damn? Because they don’t read.
No bias in this report is there? Let me guess, a liberal wrote it!
I saw these kids on BART yesterday on a field trip. There were about 15 children quietly talking and I even told their teacher he was doing a great job.
Normally, school kids in Oakland are screaming and running all over the train, these kids were so much more respectful.
I love this school. I owe my great success at school to my foundation at a Jesuite school outside of the US. However, I wish there was a little bit of balance by adding an element of fun to the day. Robbing the childhood from the child is not necessary to being rigorous academically.

How delightfully well said and true. The left's form of tolerance mandates adoption of their beliefs over your own, and instills mediocrity. We must "tolerate" ill behavior, lack of effort, lack of respect for our nation and its ideals...

Are these the same schools whose students recently scored substantially higher than average on the NEAP or comparable tests?
Odd, isn’t it, that this “reporter” omitted this little fact.
