What do you want? We spend a huge amount of money on education. We have targeted poorer areas with Robin Hood schemes and the results are...
I never said huge pay raises. But they have received pay raises and class sizes did go down in some areas. You simply cannot dispute that we have...
I have suicidal thoughts every day, so I guess I can sympathize. On the other hand, if I had Phil Collins' money, I might be depressed less...
Really? Over the course of the last 45 years we most certainly have. School districts are having financial problems now, but it's not like we have...
It's an attitude. An elitist thinks that they are not only the smartest person in the room, but that they are so superior that they should be...
I feel no obligation to cite you anything. Do your own research.
We have done all that. The problem with your position is that if we spend x amount of money on education and get poor results, then you will...
We have transferred billions upon billions of dollars on education in the last several decades. If you don't think we have, I don't know what to say.
That's not it. The problem is that the elitists insist that they know what's best for everybody simply by their mere possession of a credential....

If they are, it does not seem to be doing any good.
So your answer is 355 years? Where does that leave the current generation of black boys? We're supposed to tell them that we do not expect them...
Does not fit the narrative.
So, how much longer is it going to take? We've been trying to undo the past for 45 years or so. Will it take another 50 years? And at what point...
You're not looking at the whole picture. If someone dies at say 70, they will not use up much Social Security. Even if they use some Medicare,...
I did not hear Rush yesterday.
No, they save us money.
