And we aren't the brainwashed ones bud, you are. you think things like free healthcare and education are acts of "communism" when its literally what every other damn 1st world country is able to provide to their citizens. Please stop combining education with healthcare. Our "free" education system is great as long as you are not in one of the overwhelming liberal areas of our country. My son's school has many well off Brazilians and Colombians who have houses in our area just so they can go to his school since it is cheaper to live here than pay for the equivalent schools in their countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you actually just cancelled yourself. what does a candidates number of houses have to do with how good of a presidency he will have? Trump went bankrupt more times than I can count Bernie is the only candidate that cares about the working class of this country. You think Trump cares about you? lmfao. he showed he doesn't give a ***** when he gave americans 1200 and told them to go back to work so the rich folk can party again. 3 hours ago, Wacka said: Well, if you honeymoon in the USSR, you might be a communist. by this logic Trump is a child rapist and pedophile since he has been seen with Epstien countless times.

I do not mean it as statewide but as individual districts- FL overall has high performance especially in regards to AP courses but Miami does not, NYS has many good districts but NYC drags the overall numbers way down. My biggest point is if I have 100 districts and 80 average 70% passing rate and 20 with 10% we now are at 58% passing. In many areas the splits are that wide.

Wouldn’t the first step in helping the ‘working class’ be to get them jobs so they can actually be the WORKING class? Seems to me that’s exactly what Mr Trump decided to do....no? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) ...read the eloquent yet still relevant teachings of African-American Thomas Sowell at age 89 and STILL going strong....defy this Man's brilliance.......... Thomas Sowell: Black success blocked by charter schools' enemies By Thomas Sowell | The Wall Street Journal For decades, there has been widespread anxiety over how, when or whether the educational test score gap between white and non-white youngsters could be closed. But that gap has already been closed by the Success Academy charter school network in New York City. Their predominantly black and Hispanic students already pass tests in mathematics and English at a higher rate than any school district in the entire state. That includes predominantly white and Asian school districts where parental income is some multiple of what it is among Success Academy students. New York’s charter school students are predominantly black and Hispanic, and live in low-income neighborhoods. In 2019, most students in the city’s public schools failed to pass the statewide tests in mathematics and English. But most of the city’s charter school students passed in both subjects. Such charter school results undermine theories of genetic determinism, claims of cultural bias in the tests and assertions that racial “integration” is necessary for blacks to reach educational parity with whites. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/black-success-charter-schools-enemies-thomas-sowell Edited June 20, 2020 by OldTimeAFLGuy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids — no I really mean it, but think how we think about it.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
