Faith3
Don’t you mean that they have gotten rid of those who don’t want to learn?
I lived it you did not. That is the point.
Don’t you mean that they have gotten rid of those who don’t want to learn?
Yes, and I’m waiting for the point. TIA
rich white people just do not get it.
I agree Doug looking at the policies being pushed through.
You have to get rid of people that do not want to learn and send them to Faith.
That is the point rich white people do not understand.
I am sorry I am getting mean.
Oh, is that the new policies being pushed through Doug:-0
You have never been there. That is the point. why does the big cities send all the money on Per student base and fail. Why does my child get the shaft. Rich white people that know nothing of the bad big city school. But rich white people think they do.
Send your kids and learn what I know. I have been there when you rich white kids grow up knowing everything.
Well since people are dodging the point-
It isn’t fair to assess schools the same that are mandated to take every single student that walks through the door. Public schools cannot cherry pick to ensure school standardized testing will show results. I rest my case.
These same rich white people take all my money for Football, Baseball Hockey, But can not fix their own school,.
If you don’t get the point, Faith, you must have been educated in the public schools. LOL
these big city rich white people also give money to condos , hotels, apartment , convention centers. But want me to pay for their schools . they can pay their own way or quit sending for rich white people toys. they have all the money. they spend it on their toys .
I stated the point Hoppy. Public schools are mandated to take all students and are being compared to schools who can cherry pick. How can anyone say this is unfair?
Hoppy
I went to one of these schools and I do not feel sorry for them. Like rich white Lib, Demos do. Because faith and her rich white lib , Demos think they know.They do not It is about parents an nothing else.
Interesting you know my income and heritage Doug. Wow, can you say generalization?
Faith
What would be fair is for you to send your kids there and be a true Demo, Lib. They will be educated.
Faith, where do your kids go to school. I worked hard so my children would not go though what I went though. Your kids and you go and went to the same kind of schooling I sent my kids to.
Why Doug?
Who do you think is for busing kids to different communities away from their own schools instead of properly funding those schools?
Hello All,
Here is my two cents as one who spent 30 years in the public schools. When I first started I taught in a school like Doug described. I was trying to teach debate to juniors who could not read. Unless a student was a physical threat—don’t call the office. I stayed one year. I was 20 years old and did not have the experience,skills or desire to spend another year in such a school. Yes, I felt so sad for children who wanted to do better and were stuck in that school. Then I saw busing which was to solve that problem. It was a colossal failure. I don’t know what the answer is for education as it is today. I agree with Doug—money is not the answer. I also agree with Faith that standardized teacher evaluation is not the answer. One more issue–emotionally disturbed and disruptive students pose a huge problem. They totally disrupt the class when they are integrated into regular classes. They often have a full time aid with them and what an expense that is for a school district. We have students with unmeasurable IQs in hospital beds on a respirator integrated into regular classes with a full time nurse. I have seen ED students totally destroy computers in a computer lab. Teachers may not restrain. They must call the office. Then the office calls campus police.The damage is done before they arrive. Because of their handicapped status the student can not be expelled from school. When these students are placed in a special ED classroom with a teacher and several aides, it is even worse. Generally they are just warehoused in these classes as the teachers and aides spend their time just trying to control the behaviors. I have also seen inadequate teachers keep their jobs because it cost so much money and time for a school district to fight law suits from teachers organizations. The other argement is for the need for these organizations. Throughout my years in education, I have seen administation not support teachers when they deserved support. One prime example was that of a male teacher in my school who was accused of fondling a student. The school district threw him under the even though it was very clear that he didn’t do it. His reputation and career was destroyed. Much later the student admitted that she lied. I don’t know what the answers are but IMHO it is not money or more federal requirements. One thing i do know for sure is that happy, healthy children who come from supportive and loving homes geneally fare much better.
