The money went to union stooges.
Liberals know the definition of money.
They do not know the definition of standards.
And Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch was an ideal leader of liberals, because the lack of standards let to his rise and election.
How truly shocking. Not.
Cut Obama a break...all his attention was focused on repairing race relations in the US.
Spending government money to “fix” schools can only exacerbate the failings of the schools. Spending private money to fix public schools has necessarily the same result.
Quickest way to push schooling in the right direction is Home Schooling, Vouchers, and charter schools, empowering parents, National Right to Teach (union membership and dues optional).
There is a toxic culture producing the students fed into those schools. Until that culture is neutralized, no reform is going to help those schools.
In that culture, being successful is “acting white” and thus is something to be avoided at any cost. And that is just one of the problems.
That KC "experiment" had to fail because the problem is the population that fills those tech and amenity laden schools. White kids from middle class or even working class homes can't learn anything useful in classes that are continually in disruption and partially filled with kids who have an adversarial relationship with education.
Lefties could throw a trillion at it and still show no results. Until you burn down the group think Teachers lounge’s and fix the gehtto family unit it’s a lost cause.
Throwing $$$ at “students” who don’t want to study and “teachers” who don’t want to work, is a total waste
That KC project was doomed from the get-go. No way any parent was going to send their kids to the ghetto
Yeah, all went to unions and administrators, etc. Nothing for students and materials. It’s a shame when teachers have to buy supplies for their classes.
Gee....maybe because attitude toward learning is the fundamental problem. Not $$. Even if you give kids a state of the art school infrastructure + great teachers, they won’t learn anything if they have a bad attitude. People still managed to learn (and learn well) in one room schoolhouses. $$ by itself is never going to fix the attitude problem.
It’s almost as though neither money nor government is the key ingredient for good education.
BS
The money was funneled to educators rather than to student education
The black woman from NEA that is bitchin about Trump parceled out the money to her cohorts
“Anybody who follows this knew pumping more money into horrible schools would not make one damn difference.”
You missed it by one word “public”, not “horrible”. No amount of money put into a socialist education model will fix them. If Trump does what Obama did, the money will be wasted. The MODEL is the MISTAKE.
Government schools are just institutionalized child abuse and must be shut down. Conservatives must take their children out now.
No, Obama spent millions of OUR dollars to buy and placate Unions.
We should deport the inner city culture that fails to educated their children and keep the Mexicans who come here and really want to work and get ahead.
If you take a look at where the schools in question are you will find that almost all are located in areas that have been only governed by democrats for five or six decades. What they have is what they, the democrats, have created.
The democrat/socialist/entitlement/professional victim mentality has created a culture of ignorance and violence.
The truth is that I feel zero responsibility to address, fix, help with, or even worry about the socialist democrat self-made hell holes they have created.
These places are of democrat construction and is their responsibility. They need to fix their own “$hit” with their own money and leave me and my rights out of it.
The dems really need to be forced to own what they have created because they will never be honest enough to own up to it.
Taking them away at birth might stop the cycle with them but the source of the material for the cycle has to be stopped as well. The only way is unacceptable in this country but it is sterilization of the baby mommas and baby daddies.
I would predict that Trump and DeVos will reverse this. Yes there is a dysfunctional culture, but school choice will allow for some separation between those kids who have parents who care, and those who don’t. Right now the rotten apples are allowed to spoil the whole barrel. Let the kids who can take advantage of a better opportunity have another choice, and they will move forward. The other kids will stay the same, but the numbers will be reduced.
