In other words, you can't refute my argument so you going to pretend you are smarter and better educated than me.


I am smarter, far more experienced in this field, and much better educated on the subject than you. Simple facts.

Your 'argument' was simply and singularly <<<<THROW MORE MONEY AT SCHOOLS>>> I not only refute it, I proved it wrong.

Throwing more money at social problems isn't always a solution.

>>>>YOU: That's your opinion.........and I disagree with that premise.


Then you added that I need to be better informed... but I informed you that I have vast experience in the field and education far above yours, to which you added sneering commentary.

But the bottom line is I am right. The problems with education are cultural and directional. Funding is adequate and throwing money at schools gets wasted and does little or nothing for the kids. I proved it. So you resort to calling names "Go to hell, kumquat! ;)" as I predicted from the start "pearls before a swine."

At least now we are saying the same, "Its not just about the money," thing, even though you have to squirm and spin in deceit. For years I've watched for that one redeeming quality every human being is supposed to possess ...tsk, not seeing it.
