   You know nothing of race wars aimed at you. You grew up in a white school or small town.

   Hey lbsles, the reason polls are skewed is because there are more Democrats than Republicans and there are more people who now identify themselves as Independents.
   Here’s the latest Party Affiliation numbers from Gallup:

   Independents = 38%
   Democrats = 32%
   Republicans = 28%
   No ID = 2%

   Leaners
   Democrat = 50%
   Republican = 43%
   No Lean = 7%

   You are dodging it. I lived it. You have no right. You send you kids to a war zone. I was there.

   You would not, you are to good for that. You sent the money to live where you live. Move there and help these kids. Do not worry about the damage you would cause you kids. I lived it.

   The topic is not whether public schools should educate all children because that is a mandate. The question and the topic is is it fair to judge a school and its teachers of schools that are filled with specific issues on the bases of a standardized test? I’m sure it must have registered how assinine such a policy is for both schools and teachers. Also, the irony is these schools filled with major issues which need the most resources are getting stripped of those resources.

    It is about dead people . I can not go on with this. You do well and have never seen. You have not right to talk of this with me.

    I have to move on now. This makes me to mad when white rich people tell others how to live.

    Doug,

    If it makes you feel any better I agree with your point, “it makes me mad when white rich people tell others how to live their lives” not everyone has worn another’s shoes.

    Andrew Sullivan had an article in the Chicago Trib.

    Firing Teachers with Due Process

    It can take 2-5 years.

    @Faith3
    As far as Chicago charter schools, I find it interesting but not surprising your article didn’t mention the high levels of students that leave the charters.
    - -

    I know there is a large turnover of teachers (Charters in Chicago have a longer day, more days, & less pay) , &, an analysis completed by the Illinois Policy Institute in 2010 showed that the percentage of students who transfer out of charter schools is roughly half that of the neighborhood public schools charter students would likely otherwise attend.

    2012 was a year of significant progress for CICS, with 91% of our high school graduates accepted to college.

    There is also a Chicago Virtual Charter School, a hybrid of distance learning, homeschooling, and traditional classroom education. The three-year-old school has a detailed online curriculum and strict requirements for being logged in for five hours of instruction five days a week.

    Traditional ways of attending school are decreasing , not only in Chicago but everywhere.

    Hi d.d,

    I’ve no doubt it takes time to go through due process procedures. No one every said due process is suppose to be easy. After all, why bother having due process at all? Imagine a world with no courts or hearings? Anyway, there are reasons for those state laws. If people think due process is a waste then so be it. I say why bother living in a democratic society?

    As far as Chicago charters, it is great to celebrate but equally great to bring up the point they have gotten rid of a lot of those who tend to bring down test scores. Just the facts that shouldn’t be forgotten when discussing the big picture.
