and the RATS, take another one in the.........HA ha!!!
Excellent read. Thank you.
Oh, you mean they want to do what Wisconsin governor Scott Walker did, huh?
Great post!
The left eating it’s own again.
The “public school” is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is communist.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.
If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves your children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children like you can.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.
It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. And your children will know it.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
It is not and never has been about 'the children'.
OPM (other peoples’ money) is in short supply and the union coffers have been drained. The dumbass teachers won’t realize they have no further value until they have screwed up the thinking of another generation. The left is counting on that being enough to get past the tipping point.
When the Democrats turn on the unions, you know just how broke we are.
About ten years ago the voters of Cleveland were offered a desperation proposal. Pass a levy that would raise a cool billion dollars, and the infusion of money would set the school system upright and on the way. Fix dilapidated schools, tear down obsolete ones, build new ones, etc etc. The voters of Cleveland took a deep breath and approved it. Nothing changed. The money is gone. And the children are still getting crap education.
Democrat (of course) Frank Jackson is a brave man, and he has republican Kasich in his corner.
BTW, thanks to their repealing SB 5, the union thugs of Lorain County next door are watching 180 layoffs, about half of them teachers, take the guts out of their bankrupt school system.
Interesting turn of events in the Chicago public schools.
This is one of the funny things about liberals. They all want to be eaten last.
““We don’t want to have honest conversations about poverty and segregation and race and class, all those other sorts of ills,” said Karen Lewis, president of the Chicago Teachers Union. “Those are really tough issues. So this gives them an excuse to focus on something else.””
We been having that “conversation” for 50 years where has it gone but to dumb down our schools and embitter entire generations to hate & resent their neighbor rather than to work hard and become like them.
Urban schools are failing because they have been run into the ground by theses democratic policy’s.
The thing teachers unions have been most effective at is undermining what was once a great education system. Tell us about how badly we have slipped in world-wide student standing.....Take away their pay until they improve US student standing.
