Re: "Vouchers are not a fix all snap your finger solution."
That's the first time you've indicated such. In the past you have equated vouchers to the level of the Statue of Liberty.
Re: "Money may help in some local jurisdictions, but overall, we are spending far more today per-pupil (adjusting for inflation), then we were 40 years ago, yet we're getting far worse results."
Public schools today are superior to what they were 40 years ago. The reason Johnny can't read is that society has let down the teaching profession. Public school teachers spend too much time these days playing policeman, disciplinarian, etc. and not enough time actually teaching. Talk to a REAL teacher some time, Mike. You might learn all kinds of things.
Re: "Unfortunately, this open minded attitude is not shared by many liberal Democrats, or leftists union workers in the NEA."
Again, talk to a teacher sometime. I know many teachers. I'm married to a teacher. Ask them if they consider themselves "leftist union workers." They'll laugh in your face.
Your problem, Mike, is that you're long on extracting information from right-wing Web sites but short on talking to real people or taking real-life approaches to real-life problems. |
