You are rigth John but poly-ticks are also the ones that created the border between Nevada & Arizona, which is also geography.

Who's brainwashed now?

lets add Utah to the mix, tell me that the borders between Nevada & Utah and between Utah & Arizona are geographical and not political. And only half the border between Nevada & Arizona is the Colorado river, the rest is a straight line.

I just looked outside to see if my state was colored red or blue, it's not.

No teachers screaming in this BBS? I'm surprised.

If you take outstanding teachers and put them in schools in the ghetto, and take inferior teachers and put them in schools in the affluent suburbs, which schools do you think will have the higher test scores?

shukins... it is my opinion that if the big districts of public schools had to compete with private schools (vouchers) that they (the public schools) would have to dump a lot of the BS and adopt better teaching methods in order to compete...

New guidlines and laws for public schools would insue and it would have a hugely benifical effect on the smaller districts and their public schools who would then be freed from some of the red tape.

The problem with linking teachers salaries to the kids perfomance is that for the most part teachers don't have a say in what the kids learn.

Around here at least.

We have administrators who micro manage everything. Special Ed people who send special needs kids into normal class rooms and threaten the teachers if they try to make the kids do normal work. Parents who threaten to sue everytime little Timmy fails even though little Timmy never did any work and the Administration rarely supports the teacher.

I walk around the HS and see strict teachers that I had when I was a kid trying to teach with kids telling her to shut the **** up and her not being able to do a thing about it.

The funny thing is that the Admin people wonder why we have a hard time getting good teachers.

mighty.... vouchers would end all that... public schools would not be able to afford 67% administrative staff and the teachers would have more freedom to teach and to control the classroom.

If there were vouchers a public school could simply throw out students who refused to learn or were disruptive. How can that be worse than what we have?

How can we possibly do worse than what we have now?

Looking back, the only thing school taught was indoctrinization into a society that has nothing to do with the society you walk into after you graduate.

The smart kids, the ones that got the good grades in the difficult subjects did most of their learning by themselves and amongst themselves in libraries, in labs, in basements and garages and away from school. School was just their job.

I wish that was true but the state mandates that these kids MUST be allowed in school regardless of their behavior. They could move them to a special class but that is where special ed gets involved and says no.

Not sure how other systems handle it but our's is screwed!

lazs2 · « **Reply #86 on:** March 13, 2006, 02:35:34 PM »

perhaps I am not being clear.. if we had vouchers then no one school would be responsible to take disruptive or unteachable kids. The parents would have the option to send them to another school...

The reason there are so many stupid rules in public schools is because they are the only publicly funded source of schooling.

Left wing? Sounds more like socialism to me. It it's left wing, it's way, way out there.

Schools are not to teach political or religeous idealism. They are to teach facts. This man should be terminated.

It is not "schools" it is "school"... the socialists have a monopoly on the funding for teaching our kids.... they can do whatever they want as there is not competition and they can extort as much money as they need from each of us with very little effort.

They get worse and have worse results every year but get angry when anyone points it out.

They have the kids for most of the kids waking hours and then blame the parents for the kid not learning anything.

Calling liberals socialists is a bit of a stretch unless you're talking about most extreme leftists as this "teacher" seems to be. Aside from that, you seem to have some issues with schools in general.

I'm pleased you agree with me in that this man was out of line. Again, I say he should be terminated.
