Only in Chicago, or realistcally (coming soon) other areas of the country. IT'S WHITEY'S FAULT

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.

You forgot to mention the losing record and people hold out faith that they'll get better despite being run the same way for decades.

My sister got bit by a rat , whitey's on the moon.

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.

trust me your glad this welfare kid got free education and simple things like bus fare and lunch . not everyone who is in the system is dirt bag . hell a lot of us turn out good productive members of society . even if 1 out of 1,000 turns out ok thats pretty good in today's world . i have no problem with my taxes going toward the education system , better that than giving any money to an outside country

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.

i would have never found my love of military history . its pretty safe to say i might not be working on opening a museum but instead digging a ditch or serving time behind bars . it was free church and school that got me through childhood and made me the man i am today . some parents just need a hand from the village to raise their child . that does not make them bad or lazy people, just human

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"?
