Re: WOW. This is mind blowing!

Sorry, they are not anti-union – when a state is broke and has no money – where should it come from?

They only wanted to limit certain bargain rights of the public unions. This would have no impact on non-public unions. Nope, there’s more misinformation going about now than there is truth or the full story.

I know – I’m deeply involved – I happen to work for the state here…………..

The badly rated classrooms are not for lack of tax money. come to where I live – I’ll show you one of the richest school districts in the state – and yet they have a pretty poor graduation rates. It’s not what they spend – it’s what they spend it on. Instead of teaching HOW to think, they teach WHAT to think. Students who do make it through are helpless to think for themselves…

The fancy new buildings, the fancy glass halls and ceilings – how does that help? And the teacher’s unions here have things REALLY screwed up badly – can’t get rid of bad teachers or reward good ones, the school year is a mess. Luckily I went to school in a REALLY basic brick building and no AC and good teachers – before this “PC mess” all came about. I learned basics, I learned reading skills to the point I could read at any “grade level” by the time I hit second grade. Try that today! And let’s not let little Johnny feel badly that his big brother graduated HS – so we’ll spend money on a KINDERGARTEN graduation…….

OMG! PC gone amuck.

When I went to school, students could be punished, flunked, given letter grades that included F and D, and no one was warped or did poorly because of it.

Let’s not blame lack of money……….. they spend more now comparing apples to apples than ever before……… and yet things are falling apart. Anyone here go to school where they had no air conditioning?? did it cause you to be a failure?

We had more kids in our classes then that they do in many today………. so what’s up with that? We seemed to do ok.

Let’s put the blame where it belongs, and on politics. Political infighting just like today existed over 200 years ago – little has changed, only the way it’s REPORTED has changed.

MAYBE what we need is for schools to teach correct history, not PC history, but FC history (factually correct, not politically correct)

You have a lot of pent-up anger there, unfortunately, it’s working against you.
