The public school system is failing our children.

My husband had a decent job. Because of that, I had the privilege of staying home to educate our children.

After eight years of homeschooling, it was decided that it would be good for my daughter to spend some time in the public school system.

She did gain confidence. She gained the ability to argue with liberals. It did help here there.

Education? Not so much.

It’s pretty clear that the entire US public school system is a failed enterprise. The only solution is to dissolve the entire system and start over from scratch with free market solutions under local control. Let the people closest to the kids formulate their education.

The voucher system doesn’t pander to the ‘poor’. Every child benefits. The money is attached to the child, not to the school district. The parents chose their children’s school from a variety of options.

Cain’s end game is to do away with the DOE completely.

Just because he’s forcing the issue in a few particularly hard-hit areas doesn’t mean that he’s pandering to anyone. He’s using the same principle that brought us the national speed limit. You want federal goodies - you play our game.

Eventually, we need to move to a NATIONAL voucher program for every child. THAT is where he’s getting at. too many people are getting caught up in the transition and missing the end game.

Everything that Cain is presenting is a START.

Bachmann is for the Fair Tax system, but she has no idea how to get us there without destroying us. Cain sees the transition. He’s figured out ways to help us thrive as a nation while we work toward out ultimate goals.

In the end, it’s genius. We move hundreds of thousands of people off the tax-payer’s support. We motivate an entire generation toward self-sufficiency. We prove success in a few areas and strengthen our argument so that we can move the entire nation.

We all win.

Marie, save your post because you will need to re-post it a lot I think.

I can't complain about our local schools too much, my son graduated with enough AP credits to eliminate a year of college. His ACT was 32. I think its school curriculum, teachers, students and parents working together.

The public school system is failing our children

ALL children, not just some.

The voucher system doesn’t pander to the ‘poor’. Every child benefits. The money is attached to the child, not to the school district. The parents chose their children’s school from a variety of options.

Well, let's see what Cain says would grant waivers to some failing public school systems.....many of whom do not have the economic means of attending better schools.....The voucher system, called the “Opportunity Scholarship Program,” allows students from financially troubled homes to attend private schools,

Just because he’s forcing the issue in a few particularly hard-hit areas doesn’t mean that he’s pandering to anyone.

Of course not, it's important for you to take him at his word and what you think you know of him.

Cain’s end game is to do away with the DOE completely.

And how long do you think that will take - IF EVER. If he has those he considers 'disadvantaged' - taken care of - you think that will be his top priority?

Everything that Cain is presenting is a START.

And who/where have been his chosen 'starts'?

In the end, it’s genius. We move hundreds of thousands of people off the tax-payer’s support. We motivate an entire generation toward self-sufficiency. We prove success in a few areas and strengthen our argument so that we can move the entire nation.

Obama's voters thought the same. They assumed one thing while Barry meant another.

We all win.

That is YOUR HOPE. Others see things differently.
