Atlanta, once a business and cultural showcase, is sinking into the same category as Detroit — cesspool.
The tax-base is leaving in droves.
I guess we are not ‘closing the gap’.
Or any standard at all, for that matter.
He is stupid, not ignorant.
Has anyone been heard proclaiming ‘The Bitch set me up’ yet?
Maybe if it were “regular” English instead of “Mississippi” English more would have passed it. “Mississippi” English seems to have a lot of southern drawl.
Will this unethical “educator” still draw her massive pension when she is in the slammer? Undoubtably.
Take a look at the Yahoo articles written about this. They report it apologetically telling us about all the wonderful things she did.
The se grin on her face tells you that she thinks this whole thing is a joke.
When NBC News reported it they said that there are 200 districts in the country with similar suspected practices going on, as if, since everybody else is doing it why single her out???
One problem with the voucher idea: the parents that currently pay money to send their kids to private school, do it to get their kids AWAY from the Dewayne's and Shadiqua's of the world. They will be most unpleased if the voucher kids turn the private school into the kind of educational hell-hole that they paid money to escape.
They will also be most displeased to see that THEY have to pay money to send their kids to the school, but the voucher kids get in free.

Everyone gets a voucher, because vouchers are generally 50% of the per-pupil government school expenditure.
Who loses? The unions and the Democrat Party.
Govt schools can have as much as one hundred times the number of administrators per capita as private schools. And teacher salaries are twice those of parochial school teachers. Teacher salaries typically comprise 85-90% of the government school budget.
I suppoes I have revealed that I thnk Jim Carrey is pretty ignorant.
Letter or no letter I feel he proved that with his dumb assed anti gun skit.
You are right he is stup[id , Ignorance can be helped.
That makes it worse.
If everybody gets a voucher, then private schools will be legally barred from using admission criteria which reject a disproportionate number of minority voucher holders.
I would be much more in favor of vouchers being given to low-income parents AND where no private school can be compelled to accept vouchers, and where private schools can be set up to ONLY cater to low-income voucher students.
Obama mad wid ju, baby......cuz you done got caught. Dummy!
Alabama Accountability Act: AEA Files New Lawsuit Against Tuition Tax Credits Law
The Alabama Education Association (Teachers Union) has filed a new lawsuit against a controversial law extending tax credits to families of students in failing schools.
The law would allow the tax credits to be used in private or non-failing public schools and would allow tax deductions for those who contribute to scholarship organizations for non-public schools.
BTW, there are many private, Christian schools here.
We have the stake to drive through the vampire's heart. It's time we used it.
(Apparently, Mark Levin was very involved with litigation relating to Milwaukee's first-in-the-nation voucher program.)
AFAIK, this hasn't been an issue with any voucher program, so far.

No private school is required to accept vouchers either, AFAIK.
Regarding low-income students, Cardinal O'Connor once offered to take 1000 of the worst-performing students from the government schools, at no charge.
The schools turned him down flat.

It’s not that. It’s because most Mississippians are allergic to things called books.
