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.

@Tiberius or @Backintheday544 I am truly hoping you can give me some thoughts on how we can fix schools that can be acceptable to your beliefs? As I stated in Orange County right now every failing school is in a blue section of town, how do we fix it?


Everyone should pull themselves up by the bootstrap and send their kids to private education like me? Don’t know what you’re looking for here.

 

Public school has been broke for decades.

 

I’d start by watching the Revionaries as a start: https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/documentaries/revisionaries/

 

After that I’d look at a system that doesn’t have schools being paid for via real estate taxes.

Fund students. People love to hate on vouchers but if you pool the education money and tie money to the kids (same amount for each kid by age) and let the parents decide where that money goes via enrollment, you’ll see a lot of issues go away. 
 

Do that, ensure absolute transparency and accountability from educators, and free up any restrictions currently on home schooling.

So hard to measure butthis list has most of the good school systems in the blue states

Makes sense, why would red states that won’t accept health care money for their own citizens spend heavily on education?

From your article.

 

Quote

There are about 51 million public school students in the United States. While far from perfect, public schools play a vital role in their respective communities. Public schools improve their communities and the welfare of children.

 

Far from perfect but they play a vital role?  Far from perfect??  I guess I shouldn't be surprised that far from perfect seems to be good enough for a government entity.  Imagine a publicly traded company putting that in their quarterly report.  "While we are far from perfect we are working diligently to get our share price out of the cellar."  :wacko:

You seem really triggered about white trash - did I hit a nerve 1%er?

What’s this fixation with triggered? If that’s your goal in life then the title Racist Loser should be your new screen name. And to answer your question…. still winning!

I am sorry but this list is complete garbage, in what world is a NY student safer than an Idaho student? Not just a little safer but much safer? (10 vs 50) that being said judging schools on numbers without mainly discussing results is not very valid.

Repetition of this false narrative doesn't make it any less of a lie.

Who is Billsy kidding? Liberals probably love something like this. They’d probably have a class in it as an expression of sexual identity! 


Only if they get to ***** the kids after.

Controversy erupts after parents of Los Alamitos fifth-graders learn of sleeping arrangements at camp

 

 

The parents say their fifth-grade girls told them some of the biologically male counselors at Camp Pali in San Bernardino who use they/them pronouns spent three nights sleeping in cabins with the young girls.

 

"Per California law, we place staff in cabins they identify with,” Emmi Teige, assistant director of Camp Pali, confirmed.
