The answer is COMPETITION through private and charter schools along with the elimination of school taxes for ALL who have no children in public schools.

Our K-12 system is broken. We need all kinds of choice and competition and vouchers.

Genetics are tough to overcome. A few outliers here and there, but not many. One of the greatest lies modern science requires us to believe is that people are all the same…. You know…. Just like all dogs are the same.

If they taught such skills as plumbing, carpentry and masonry, these students would become experts at the mathematics necessary for their job skills.

Great. That’s what I needed to wake up to today. I grew up in Schenectady and even 45 years ago my parents chose to move to Niskayuna because the schools were better. It’s kind of beyond me how certain areas can just never seem to get out of their own way and find a little success...even by mistake! I mean, you’ve got to try to be that bad for that long.

To hell with school vouchers. People pay more in housing and taxes so they can have better public schools. Quantavious Jenkins from 13th and MLK jr doesn’t belong in my “hood”.

Parents, as in plural?
Did you go to public school with inner city blacks?

Carpentry requires a lot of math.

If you shave so much as 1/8 of an inch too much off a board, you ruined it for the piece.

A carpenter who isn’t good at math will quickly go broke.

Why do they need to be good at math? We always need a lot of men to do hard, physical labor, or skills such as plumbing, carpentry and masonry.

If you can't perform basic math then you're not going to be any good as a plumber, carpenter, or mason.
