This thread is awesome; I love it when Trump triggers the loons on the left. I can't wait until that night the PHONY media announces that Biden has been trounced and Trump is re-elected.
it's called school choice.
Many cities public schools are awful - allowing a "choice" of substandard public schools is no choice at all
What about it?Post 229, for starters.
Everyone please be kind to TD; some of his keys are sticky.
It's not always about funding. Baltimore ( where i come from) has a ton of money pumped in by the state....and getting worse by losing money. I support "school choice", but our public schools need better funding with a goal to maximize the potential of every American student. It's better to have a competent HS graduate becoming a solid taxpayer than an ignorant dumbass costing $30K/year in prison or on welfare.

Yet students at like 13 grade schools -not one of them the 5th grade can do grade level math.
It's a culture of failure, despite mentoring etc. it's very sad to see kids futures flushed

You asked me to fill you in on what DeVos is trying to do, have you forgotten?Education is primarily a local purview.Agreed it's not always funding, but since all public schools only see about 8% Federal funding and the remainder in State and, mostly, county/city funds, the primary problem is funding. Management would be an excellent #2 problem.

When you have all that money pumped into public schools ( and not all schools -but too many minority city schools)
and the results are nada mo' money isn't going to help.
There has to be accountability, but teachers unions wont have it
leftists will fall for anything

that's unwieldly for me to analyze at. But i see magnet and charter schools listed. It aint the money.What makes the culture of success, then? I bet money is the biggest factor. Here's a list of 100 top-performing high schools from around the country, they're doing something right.

I often sit with the students...you're not familiar with how Special ed works, are you? My teacher's desk was big, as a matter of fact...I still have it...my kids helped build it in shop/industrial arts class one year....I brought it home...along with the bookshelves they made....when I retiredAre you sure you weren't sitting with the students in that Spec. Ed. class and not at the big desk?
I think his debt is astronomical. I believe it’s one of the things he’s hiding.Yes. He's rich and getting richer by being President but lost a chunk due to the pandemic...if only he'd acted sooner, eh?
He's not as rich as he claims, but he's still leaps and bounds richer than anyone on this forum.

Donald Trump, who's worth an estimated $2.1 billion, is the first billionaire in history to serve as president of the United States.
The president's fortune has taken a roughly $1 billion hit due to the coronavirus pandemic's impact on industries like hospitality and commercial real estate.
That money he lost will come back in a year or two along with everyone else's 401ks and investments. I doubled down on my 401k and riding it out.
what? lol..Thanks for agreeing on funding problems and management, but disagreed on moving goalposts.
