Same and same

And once again Colorado votes down anything to do that might actually help our schools.

I'm as conservative as anyone here but as a parent in torn on the issue when it comes to school funding. Colorado is always at the bottom of the list when it comes to school funding and I can tell every time I walk into my daughters school.

I also. No on everyF**kingthing that involved "give us more money"...I'll continue to vote that way until they show that they can utilize the funds they already have effectively.

Also voted no on extending term limits for the County Attorney. 8 years is enough, now go do something productive.

^this

Pretty much sums it up for me. I'm all for education, but I don't think throwing more money at a group who clearly doesn't understand how to manage it isn't a solution

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the school systems waste MILLIONS on mid level, do nothing administrators and other bullsh!t that has NOTHING to do with education. Cut the fat out of the middle, pay the teachers, stop spending money on feel good projects that don't benefit actual teaching. When I went to school in the 70s and 80s, there was money not only for fine arts, sports, and driver's education, but for a whole array of vocational programs as well. Student fees for sports and such were reasonable. Yet, the property taxes we proportionally lower. Why? Because the administrative overhead was about 20% of its current percentage. We had 1 principal, 2 secretaries and 2 assistant principals for a student population of about 1500 students at my high school. The 2 assistant principals also taught 3 classes each per day. The same school now has ann enrollment of just over 900 students, a principal, 3 vice principals, 5 assistant vice principals (none of whom teach), and about a dozen office staff.

Don't fall for the lie that more money equals better schools.

If 103 passes it will only kill jobs (which won't help the children of the newly unemployed get a better education) and empower the Unions and Democrat Party (yes, I'm being redundant there)

They also add that line, "and for other uses" Everytime we give them more $$ it finds a black hole never to be seen again. [Rant1]

I currently view public schools as poorly managed daycares. I do not expect any child to come out of any of them with anything resembling an education. Dumping money on the problem does nothing because lack of funding is not the problem, it is a problem rooted deep in this touchy feeley everyone gets a ribbon teach to the lowest common denominator society that has developed as a result of liberals taking control of our school system.

I honestly believe that creating a conservatively ran education system that encouraged competitive education standards through pay by performance would completely fix this country in about 20 years. You would kill the liberal set of retard ideals at the source instead of fighting with idiots who cant shut thier mouth long enough to form a complete thought. Just my 2 cents. No on 103.
