Local control, local funding, local voting. As it should be.
Public schools exist to provide employment for adults. If the children get educated, that is just a bonus.
“No” to all levies. Let the whole lot of them eat cake, especially the public school system.
By my reckoning, peering out over the vast expanse of the train wreck our youth have become, much could be gained by parents sending their kids to sweat shops all day to directly fund their own educations in those same sweat shops in the evenings. Better grades get you a higher hourly wage for fewer hours of work in the sweat shop, to be put towards more hours of education in the rest of the day. Course instruction would rigorously emphasize the Three R’s, geography, accurate American history and civics, world history, and the hard sciences. Latin would be introduced early, and gradually become the language of instruction by the last few years. Those with few academic abilities can graduate up in the level of skilled work in the shop, thus learning valuable manufacturing and technical skills. Throw in uniforms, segregated seating, rigorous physical education, and a mandatory four year stint in the military after graduation and before college or apprenticeship, and you’re approaching my idea of educational utopia.
They exist to create democrat voters. The kids are not suppose to be educated. An ignorant or dumbed down society is easier to deceive.
The fleabagger protests, for example.... Have to listened to them try to explain why they're protesting? It's hard to believe these dumbed down kids are from the same planet!
They have no idea what real life is. They seem to think they have some kind of "right" to leech off everyone else around them, and the concept of earning their own keep is like some kind of foreign language to them.
It’s as it should be.
You should have to go before the voters on a regular basis and make the case that you are doing a good enough job that you deserve to continue being funded.
2. picket the legislature -WITH CHILDREN IN TOW!
that usually involves busing them to the Capitol.
I have a picture somewhere of the last time they did this. It was full of H.S. kids with signs that were spelled wrong.
“Despite what some among us would like to believe it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power.
And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year, because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees.”

The masses feel that Unions are powerful enough to muscle dollars out of their Employers, by disruption, and when the Taxpayer is paying those salaries and benefits and Union Bosses' lifestyle-support via Public Employee Unions, they have created a bottomless pit of Debt for Taxpayers.
Likewise, by funneling Union Dues (ie, the Taxpayers money) back to Politicians who make Laws that favor them, it's a corrupt scheme and Organized Crime in its truest form today.
Unions run into difficulty in the Private Sector, because Employers just shut down their business when they can't compete because of the cost of Union Labor, and either re-locate to non-Union States, or, move their business off-shore. The dumbazz Union Members then go and join OWS and other groups who hate "those Richest 1%" for doing so, not recognizing that the Union essentially causes the un-employment.
Looks like anoka/henn got 2 of 3 passed. We need to work on making these levi votes happen with other elections. I voted in a school. every commie teacher in the joint had a I voted sticker. Most people I ran in to today didn’t even know there was a vote today.
Voters extend existing school operating levies, turn down new requests

East metro voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved extending school district levies already on the books, but mostly rejected requests for more cash.
West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan was the anomaly. It was the only district that successfully passed a tax increase for operating costs.
