    I beleive if those private and charter schools had the shackles on them that public school do . . .then they would be equal

    If they want the Public money . . they need too have the same rules

    People point out that private schools do better
    which is a bunch of statistical BS
    If they get a student that brings down their average .. .they kick them out
    they have no students that don't want to be there [or parents are not involved]
    and
    they get to do things the way they want

    public schools are choked on funding .. choked on admin bull*****

    fix the public school . . f*** the private schools trying to get public money

    National graduation rates and achievement scores are flat, while spending on education has increased more than 100 percent since 1971. More money hasn't helped American kids.

    Funding isn't the problem.

    Are you comparing ending slavery to lying about receiving a blowjob from an intern as unpopular but wise choices to make? Really when did it become the norm for political candidates to have their private life scrutinized as though they're under a microscope? Having an affair isn't an act I condone but its far from illegal. And lying about it is something I can at least understand yet so much money was spent on an investigation about a silly lie to maintain a public image, and at least in my opinion establish a political snowball to portray Republicans as family oriented individuals while portraying Democrats as unabashed liberals even when it comes to the sanctity of marriage. It was a load of **** for that investigation to even happen, especially when there are more damnable lies that have gone unscathed by our current administration. I can only imagine the **** storm JFK would be under if the affairs he had back then occurred now.

    Maybe a little less Admin restraint?

    While this is a nice lil PRO-Voucher story
    the
    real story is that the governmental constraints placed on public schools
    It is easy to win . . when you play by different rules
    once we loosen the reigns on public Schools
    watch them fly

    BTW . . I thought you hated kids?
    ;)

    I don't hate kids. I hate people expecting others to pay for theirs when they can not afford them (or when they can).

    This might hold true for most schools in Texas, but having been to schools in Louisiana, I'm not sure this holds true across the board. You are right about the federal restrictions holding back the dancing room needed to grow, but the sad thing is that too many schools are unstructured and tumultuously misguided and need direction from the top. This is not a wise way to structure education.
