For the shitty education / public school debacle in Chicago. She does kill 2 birds with 1 stone, as she includes the Catch Phrase. RICH WHITE PEOPLE.

“There is something about these folks who love the kids but hate the parents,” Lewis inveighed. “There’s something about these folks who use little black and brown children as stage props at one press conference while announcing they want to fire, layoff or lock up their parents at another press conference.”
Lewis called for “an end to corporate subsidies and loopholes.” She demanded “progressive taxation” to close the $1 billion budget deficit currently facing the Second City and its public schools
FSA mentality at it's finest. Kids as props are horrible, UNLESS it's for a Liberal Agenda.
However i don't "think" she has a valid argument, yet. How could this be true if Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were not quoted or involved
For the children dammit. That's the motto I live by these days!
These people NEVER look at their own actions, they accept no responsibility at all. Keep taxing the producers and the producers will take their businesses elsewhere, then people like this will get what they deserve, living in the gutter where they belong.

Why dont we just make the people with children pay for their children's education. Then maybe they will take it seriously and actually pay attention and learn something. Paying for schools with property taxes is stupid when half the people with kids dont own property, why should I have to pay for some kid to go to school and fail.

This is the correct way to do it. This argument comes up at least once a year.
Short answer is because most parents are simply sperm or egg donors, after sexual congress the product is society's problem.

because an educated society is a stronger society. without societal investment in the education of the community's youth we would be afganisthan living in the stone ages.
You had the benifits of a better education because society ponied up for the bill. if they arent educated they will be stealing your car. there will always be a certain percentage of the population that will flunnk out of school . the majority that do not are worth paying for.

Considering how much money this country spends on education we are way down the list as far as educated countries are concerned. School is seen by the majority of freeloaders as free child care and they dont care whether their brats learn anything or not. Make them pay something for it and maybe they would care a little more.
I never went to public school, me and my sister both attended private school. And if my single mother who never made more than 12 dollars an hour can work her ass off to help us go to school then the lazy ass parents out there can do the same. I worked full time through high school and college to help pay for my schooling, and am still paying off college. It should be part of the decision when you have kids, can I afford to educate them. Its not like there is a shortage of people on this planet, maybe just wanted children is not enough reason to have them.
Get real tired of listening to people who think the government owes them something. All they want is free this and free that. Well guess what, this country cant afford the freeloaders any more. Good grief, isnt colorado up to 90 some weeks of unemployment benefits. Just ridiculous.

If the results of Public School education were better than they are now i would support it. However when the PS system has become nothing more than a place to promote an Agenda of Diversity and PC'ness. IF it fits the Teachers Union's train of thought then no. Suspending a child (elementary school age) because they say BANG, or have a pop tart that "Looks Like a gun" brings the school to a standstill, with mass e-mails sent explaining the offense, offering counseling for those affected, we have gone way off the path of education.
Not to mention the Blatant cries of RACIST vs. actually sitting down and try figuring out away to get kids to learn something.
Does anyone believe if a person of lighter skin was to say It's the Blacks, who are bringing the education system down. Would still be employed or have made more of a media headline then the one i linked to.

I am in favor of the vouchers and selecting where your kid goes to school, with them getting the money. Would be nice if those without kids could do more or less the same. "Oh, that school is a dump while this one actually cares for their kids? I'll send my money to the latter!"

So much win right here!
Rockhound- I don't see us getting our money's worth right now from the public school system. They don't spend the money wisely at all, the system is screwed up and we're churning out lower preforming students every year. Not every school, but I have little faith in the PS system and when/if I have kids, they will go private for sure.
She also urged the city schools to follow the strategic blueprint of the Chicago Cubs baseball team.
Has she watched any baseball in the last 100 years? [Eek3]
Though I guess Chicago schools are already run like the Cubs, overpaying for useless staff who only look forward to collecting checks and the off season.

Unless welfare kids get an education, they will always be welfare kids and beget more generations of welfare kids. If it wasn't for free public education, my parents could not have afforded to send four kids through school, not on an E-5's pay.

Sorry, but spending billions to get a 1 in 1000 odds is never ok. Thats kind of like their if it saves one child argument. There are other things the money could be used for other than crappy schools or forein aid.
Every parent should have to have some skin in the game. Even ifit is only 50 a month. If the parent cant afford it then the cost will be based on grades. At least then if i am forced to pay for the freeloaders they will at least be learning something. That and get rid of tenure and the crappy burned out teachers who could care less about students.

1 in 1000 odds is just an example someone brought up; I'm sure the real results are higher. And where do we draw the line to say "sorry, you're not worth it"?
Are they getting an education or are they just passing through the system? We didn't have computers or the Internet when I was in grade school and the country wasn't throwing the kind of money at it that they have been. We actually had to crack a book and read. So many kids coming out of public schools can't seem to manage to teach themselves in their future years. Want to learn how to do something that wasn't covered in school? RTFM.
if you leave the general population illiterate what happens if there is a draft ? you gonna start printing tank manuals in picture form only ? would it then be the burden of the military to teach people simple math a writing/reading skills ?

That would be up to you as a parent. If your kid is worth it work your ass off and get it done, take some responsibility. You are the one who wanted the little freeloaders after all, not me.
As you can tell, i am not a huge fan of kids.

I really don't have a problem with the idea of public schools, it's one of the few things I think the government should provide, and I'm ok with paying taxes for them. What I do not like is how every year schools keep asking for more money and turning out graduates who are progressively worse as a group each year. Some of it is the schools, and some of it is the parents. But we are not heading in a good direction with public schools right now in education quality, let alone how they have become indoctrination centers for political party dogma.

Oh i am sorry, i am supposed to say all children are miracles and the world is blessed for every one that is born. You want the government to leave you alone but you will trust them to educate your kids, funny how people pick and choose what they want the government to control. Usually based on how much free stuff they get.. You cant have smaller government and want more free stuff at the same time.

Which is why i started the thread. A person of color, Who like Obama complains there isn't enough Talk about. She is vocal to the point of Laying Blame on the Rich Whites for the education system.

See reply in this post. If only those who could afford an education served, we'd be back to Civil War military where the Officers (Educated) were in charge of those who were minimally if at all. As it was for centuries before that. Money leads, others follow.
I want my tax dollars going to a system that can show success, not failure. If and when there is failure. DON'T BLAME EVERYONE BUT YOURSELF. Review where the weak links are and restructure from there. Tenure, Out the door IF you're wasting space and your students place at the bottom of the grade scale.

Our education system is Colorado has focused on teaching kids to be prepared to take a yearly test called CSAP. Each school and district is scored on the results of these test for funding and resources. By having this approach students aren't getting a true education they're only being taught what they'll be tested for. The end result of this teaching approach ends up turning out graduates that have a pretty crappy education.
Back when I was a kid there was no mainstreaming like now, we sent kids that had mental issue's to state schools, we had special Ed kids that were taught the basics to function as adults and then everyone else. Now the protocol is to put all kids in the same general Ed classes, by doing so it takes away from the students that can be educated and that have a future. My wife is a High School teacher and the crap she tells me just disgust me, it’s ridiculous what is wasted on kids that don’t have the capacity to learn beyond what a third grader is taught. From the socialist regime at the School District level to the parents of the kids that should be in state schools or special ED the system is broke.
People that are educated and fiscally responsible reproduce within their means and take responsibility for their offspring. The burden on our education system and society stems from the undereducated which general includes the fiscally irresponsible population. To go pretty far to the right there should be a aptitude/IQ test that is given to all before they reach sexual maturity, if you fail you get clipped and the gene pool ends there.
I have 2 kids in High School both are in advanced classes call STEM and will go on to college for Engineering. I’m not counting on scholarships (I’m in the wrong demographic) and fully prepared to pay tuition.
Why dont we just make the people with children pay for their children's education. Then maybe they will take it seriously and actually pay attention and learn something. Paying for schools with property taxes is stupid when half the people with kids dont own property, why should I have to pay for some kid to go to school and fail.
By all means, I'm a huge fan of this. I would rather have my tax money go more to my kids, than other people and what they think are important...
Short answer is because most parents are simply sperm or egg donors, after sexual congress the product is society's problem.
Sounds like you have a shitty set of parents....

So... Your fix would be to let the stupid go out into the world to get even more retarded, and take away any chance for a less fortunate child to make it, affectively making more stupid people? Yep, that sounds like the smart choice... also, the graduation rate is a lot higher than 1 in a thousand.

The education system is completely broken, but as a society we must continue to educate the future, or we end up much worse than we are now. I don't know the fix for the system (voucher system seems legit), but it needs fixed.
My son is only 3 weeks old, and we are hoping to save enough in 5 years to send him to private school.

Its still a free country for a little while so you can feel free to call me what you want, and I can have my own opinions. If name calling makes you feel better then go for it. You can keep throwing your money into a completely broken system but I would like not to. As long as you keep funding a system that does not work there will be no reason for them to fix it. It is just like what is happening in the states with tough gun control and companies leaving, you have to hit them where it hurts. This country is run on money and nothing else. You need to refuse to give them money until they have a plan to make the system work, and everyone needs to chip in, not just those who own property.
For your child dont rule out homeschooling. Dont know if your wife stays home or not but most kids who are home schooled for the first few years generally end up way ahead of other kids. Especially in reading and math.

No problem.

It's not a private school, it's a homeschool set up. What it is, is basically public school, at your home for only your kids. The lessons are all planned, they send you a computer, and all the books that the teachers have. You teach your child at your child's pace. After the first couple years of doing it with our oldest, we sent her to public school so the wife and I could both work. She was well beyond what they were doing. Connections academy has the basic same curriculum as public school, but more advanced. However the way it comes across to the children, they learn it better, and get ahead as we saw. We ended up taking our daughter out of the school system since they taught less, and the wife went back to being her teacher. Best move we made as far as their learning goes. I have two other daughters that are with their mother most of the time that are still in public school.... The difference is ridiculous, absolutely horrible. We won't do anything other than Connections Academy.
