Who can fix school systems?


Recommended Posts

I am not simply trying to score political points here but today we received the list of schools in Orange County Florida that can start recruiting teachers in order to help improve their academic standing. These schools that performing poorly are all in the Democrat voting sections of town. Literally not one is is in a red voting part of town and most of them are in the darkest blue on the voting map. This is not along racial lines because many of the well performing schools have a white minority, but there is a definite voting pattern commonality.

As for how to fix it? Allow teachers to hold kids to standards, allow schools to throw out kids who are repeat problems, and stop pretending a school should raise a child.

scrape your pennies together and find a good private school. We are in one of the best school systems in the country and it’s an unbelievable downward trend and getting worse.  Everything is getting watered down to the lowest common denominator and competition is continuing to be banned. Achievement and merit growing to take a back seat to this equity narrative. In science class they are spending all their time drilling political narratives instead of hard factual science. Just across the Potomac they banned accelerated math because it makes underachievers feel bad and they blew up the admissions testing for the best high school in the country.

we need a definate update to school tax codes. im not sure why keeping any tax money for public school to use where you see fit for your child is not universally agreed apon. thats school choice in essence correct? no need to scrape pennies that your already paying.

What about people who don’t even have kids that pay school taxes. I personally support a credit with evidence of private school tuition, but the big government loving liberals couldn’t fathom people being able to choose to what’s best for their own children.

 

Hey poor Joey was born paralyzed, therefore we need to chop off every kids legs so they are equal. 
 

that’s literally how these idiots think while their handlers smile, send their kids to elite institutions and stay rich.

Here’s the two “root causes” (maybe Kamal can fix this one):

 

1. A large number of parents simply don’t care or pay attention to their kids schooling.

 

2. And the system offers no incentive to teachers for good performance.

 

Put this together for a few decades and you have the current situation. It has NOTHING to do with money.

Cry harder D3 - you're upset that I shared a disgusting situation at a public school in a deep red state?

 

Take your faux outrage and...

D3? No idea what that’s about. 
What does your totally lame post have to do with red states? Showing a bit of over the top RACIAL prejudice there, don’t ya think? And you’ve mistaken outrage for disdain.

These are definitely two of the larger reasons, I maintain high standards because it is important to me but the difference in raise between a top 5% teacher in my district and barely top 80% teacher is exactly $0. Thankfully I have been able to ensure my kids have the top tier teachers each year.
