I have lots of opinion--many are adequately discussed here without my involvement.
However very important issues are often ignored.
For example anyone favoring the tariffs or film credits is not a conservative. I am not sure what they are---a nationalist whatever that is I suppose--is that a fascist?
If an issue involves protecting the wealth Americans have accumulated from those that want more government tariffs or more government protectionism for their cronies or more government taking of tax revenues to subsidize their cronies you can mark it down I have an interest in that issue and I oppose it.
It is badly disappointing to me to see people saying tariffs are good and tariffs on Americans are patriotic somehow. It is twisted, perverted thinking.
It is frustrating to see pure ignorance on display in defense or film credits. The state has taken well over a billion of our tax dollars and given it to the film industry while threatening more taxes and less services (LSU football even) in grasps of power and money.
It is badly disappointing to me that the government takes more and more money from us in the name of education and has created this powerful bureaucracy more concerned with expanding its' power and the benefits to it's benefactors than with actual education.
I stand for real education, real small government and real individual liberty.

In EBR they say we are better together.

In the first report cards since standards were toughened, Louisiana's share of A-rated public schools slipped while those with F's went up, according to figures released Thursday by the state Department of Education.
So the state raised standards and fewer schools got A's and more got F's in the first analysis under the new standards. You are a sky-screaming moron in most cases but even you should have picked up on this important piece of context in the first paragraph.

Charter school are debatable. They can pick and choose who they take in to bump up their scores. They leave the public schools to care for disabled children. We are in this together to make a better society not who is getting a little more here and there. Charter schools test scores link below

New weighted system weighs other things other than academics. Such as discpline, teacher retention, etc... I mean old system did as well but new system weighs things differently and apparently puts more emphasis on growth. If you're an A already you don't have much room for growth and it hurts you

What a crock of crap. I am for taking all the money we are collecting for education and giving it out in vouchers for education.

Define what you are Jake.
You aren't for school choice. You aren't for small government. You aren't for less taxes and tariffs on American consumers. You are for more war. You are for using the government to attack great American companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon and Microsoft because the President doesn't like them. I think you are even for film tax credits. Facists were big protectionist and taxed the crap out of their people so their pet industries could expand and make fortunes.
You are no conservative. What are you???

Did I miss something in the article where it states A rated schools are failing?

quote:i am no fan of ib but, the interpretation isn't in question. school choice is creating competition (fierce in some cases) which has resulted in obvious and objective improvements. charter schools are free to work with alternative educational methods (check out basis and sequitur using classical education) that are clearly superior to contemporary methods. second, the idea of school choice is right from a societal standpoint, regardless of any evidential results from existing schools
misinterpretation of data
quote:that wouldn't even address my first point much less the second
If we were to overhaul SPED and shite-can the legislative abortion known as "No child left behind!", improvements could be implemented overnight
quote:debateable. it accurately shows one aspect of the issue. the case for school choice isn't solely based on this one chart
using one graph to dissect an issue of this magnitude is unwise

quote:this is what i don't understand. you shop for goods and services, right? you vet products to get the most for your money. why isn't it that way with schools? it seems ludicrous to me that the education of our students is govt based. it's completely contrary to our notions of govt intrusion into people's lives.
Government should be COMPLETELY out of the education business

quote:you mean they would reflect the reality that in a capitalist society, some people have more money than others? how is this a problem?
Voucher programs will truly create a cast system
also, that would not preclude any poor person from outperforming a rich person. being rich does not necessarily equate to being smart. you're conflating two different things; education and opportunity.
quote:why?
We need strong public schools
quote:you're essentially making the same argument as the o.p.
allow local districts more control

All schools should be able to do that.
Also vouchers will allow people to establish schools that cater to disabled children.
Put the money in the hands of the people and the supply to meet the demand will arise.
If we were all voucher, schools would be established to fill the demand of essentially all the families.

i have asked you a simple question and you predictably ignored it. it totally destroys your crusade on tariffs.
