Facts of Life:
1. Anytime you remove direct payment for any service it gets more expensive and you get less service. If parents were simply given vouchers they (mostly) would pick better schools.

2. Our political system is broken because the founders never envisioned that judges would legislate from the bench. Thus we have no method to correct their mistakes. Forced busing of students removed the neighborhood and parents from the schools.

3. Abortion on demand removed the expectation of basic parenting responsibility, specifically for fathers. She
decided to keep the kid so it is her responsibility.

The bottom line is that education won’t get better until the population figures out that despite the PC movement,
a) We need to have God in our lives and do his work
b) Children need parents, a mother and a father.
c) Parents need safe neighborhoods and communities

Just as I expected. The entire article focused on the symptoms. The article mistakenly thinks the symptoms are the disease. WRONG!

What is the disease?

Answer: ALL government schools in this nation are socialist-funded, collectivist-managed, GODLESS, and are overseen by comrade committees ( misnamed “school boards”) elected by the voting mob.

Socialism, collectivism, government compulsion, godlessness, voting mobs...etc...CAN NOT BE FIXED!!!!!

Solution: We must begin the process of completely privatizing all education in this nation. We need complete separation of school and state.

Yeah! I am shouting, jumping up and down and having a fit!

Government schools are freedom and our nation's MOST serious threat! Simply by attending the next generation of voters becomes comfortable with government compulsion, socialism, collectivism, voting mobs and comrade committees. They are indoctrinated daily by their socialist trained teachers in the wonders of communism.

And..Most serious of all, they MUST think and reason GODLESSLY simply to participate in the program.

Even with all of the above, there are conservatives who will soon post that their child's school is different.

Conservatives will claim that they can “undo” the damage.

So-called “conservative” teachers will post that they try to sneak in a little conservatism or Christianity and in doing so will teach the children that conservatives and Christians are sneaky.

Some posters will claim that if we just got rid of the unions, tenure, the federal department of education, or returned to local compulsion and socialism, and had a sprinkle of prayer in the morning, returned to the fifties...etc.

It's enough to make one bang one’s head against a wall.

More “Obama stash” money (your federal tax dollars) to failing Chicago schools:

Ill. schools to get $22M in federal funding

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Last Modified: Mar 18, 2011 08:36AM

Federal officials say Illinois will get more than $22 million for low achieving schools through a school improvement program.

School districts will have to apply to the state for the funds.

They must indicate that they’ll try one of four school intervention models.

Those include a so-called turnaround model that will replace the principal, existing staff and adopt a new governance structure. Another is called the “restart model” and entails converting a school to a charter school under an education management organization.

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan says when a school is performing at the bottom 5 percent in the state and isn’t showing signs of progress, something dramatic must be done.
