I may have mentioned this before, I will say it again. Do what Reagan wanted to do during his first term, get rid of the US department of education. Put "Public Education" in the hands of the states and the parents.

Qnd you clearly see no connection between brutal dictatorships and zero infrastructure investment.

Let me start off by saying that in 2000 I said, 'Vote for me. I'm an agent of change.' In 2004, I said, 'I'm not interested in change --I want to continue as president.' Every candidate has got to say 'change.' That's what the American people expect." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., March 5, 2008

Along with encouraging competition by charter schools - yes!

Freedom for All

There isn't any.

Stalin starved the Ukrainian farmers and stole their crops and land specifically to get cash and capital to industrialize the Soviet Union...infrastructure.

Mao murdered 40,000,000 citizens to steal their property to gain capital to modernize China and buy weapons.

Hitler built the Autobahn.

Mussolini claimed to make the trains run on time.

The commie-libs tout Castro's alleged health care system always.

MYOB. - The key to liberty. Don't know MYOB? Leave me alone and mind your own business.

I'm a greedy selfish bastard, and damn proud of it.

You're not foolish enough to trust government, are you? Then think about this:

Since there isn't any corn on the cob, thanks solely to government interference, my kids have lost the freedom to eat corn on the cob on the Fourth of July this year.

What the hell kind of country are the socialists building here?

Ta-dum! Yes - brutal dictators are lousy at infrastructure development. Lack of infrastructure also encourages brutal dictators to win over a populace with false promises.

Some people call it hope, I call it more discipline. Our schools lack in proper discipline. Detention and suspension is a crock of shit.

In the wild, there is no healthcare. In the wild healthcare is 'Ow, I hurt my leg. I can't run. A lion eats me, and I'm dead.' Well, I'm not dead. I'm the lion. You're dead.

You pay coaches, pay tutors.


-You can't 'legally' be alone with students anymore in many schools. At least in my school district.



Have a school pep rally or something similar and introduce your honor rolls students.

-I would have died of humiliation. I was content with my name in the newspaper.

Actually reward people for their grades. Some people with good grades get overlooked because someone that did almost as well also had extracurriculars.

-Like with cash? We got extra lunchtime privileges and the ability to choose our schedule first.

Amen to that.


-- and you clearly have no regard for how "infrastructure" is controlled beyond the level of a high school civics class, that is.
I guess the school system really is working!


I would just leave it in the hands of the parents.

It does not have to be one on one tutors. It could be a classroom setting with one or two teachers on hand to help students who wish to participate in a broad range of subjects. You would not be there to have a lesson plan, but to help the students with what they come to help with.

You would have died of humiliation because that is what society has created. We need to reverse that trend. How much sense does that make Freckles? "I would have died of humiliation because I made the honor roll?" Makes no sense to me whatsoever. It should be a goal and you should be proud of it when you reach it.

Certainly not with cash. I am not sure how to reward them, but there are smarter people out there than me. Well one or two anyway!!

You aren't allowed near students period after school without prior parental approval that specifically states the exact date and time you would be with the student. Teachers are also not allowed to host any extra curricular activity they also have not been designated to run by the district. That includes anything done before or after school.

I would have died of humiliation having to one, attend a pep rally, and, two, having to walk through it for something like that. Of course after I bitched and moaned about being required to sit through it. My reward was to not have classes with the people that slowed class down. That was good enough for me.
