		<description><![CDATA[I grew up in Washington, D.C. when it had racial segregation.  I went to the public schools - John Quincy Adams, Powell Junior High, Central High School, and Roosevelt High School.  I had an excellent education.  Although the schools were racially segregated, the colored (official term) Schools were as good as the white ones;  Dunbar High School was one of the best in the country. 
One problem with public education now is that the teachers are not very good.  Those going particularly into elementary education are at the bottom 20-25% of their high school classes (I believe Dorothy Rabinowitz reported this some time ago).  When I went to school, we had fine teachers - older women who had gone into teaching when it was one of the few professions open to women.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Living in a mostly poor, hispanic neighborhood, I have seen how these public schools do no better with influx of money. I asked many voters who were in line getting to vote last November on many local sale tax hikes and parcel taxes. All of them could just tell me its good because it is for the &quot;children&#039;s education.&quot; I asked them that just 2 years ago we had a hike in the income tax for these same schools and now we are at it again. There response was eithe 1) there was not enough money to begin with, or 2) the Republicans cut funding for the schools. I pointed out that the state (California) has a Democratic majority and that the Republicans can do squat to prevent any Democratic proposal. Thats when the personal attacks began as to hating children, being a Repulican lackey, or not want children to get a good education. I responded by 1) I have children so why would I hate them if I do not know them personally to form any hate, 2) I ama registered Independent, 3) I am all for children having the best education but not by throwing money and not seeing any improvements at the least and worst seeing children&#039;s school learning go down. Until we can convince people that just taxing people more and giving money to the goveernment with no accountability, this country will continue to havve this prroblem. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes this is true about there being one party that has two different animal mascots. However since Democrats do have the majority vote in the Congress for at least 4 decades and education almost becoming the 4th rail of untouchable entitlements, one will have a difficult time to derail this. The fact that most Americans still get most of their news from the leftist mainstream media does not help either. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You are kidding right? Students giving input? Do you think you were qualified for that at 16, 17, 18? Get out of town. Inclusion, multi-culturalism, diversity, equality, moral relevance, moral equivalence, all garbage! The old teaching methods performed waaaay better. Look up Thomas Sowell&#039;s research on this. There is an absolute straight line down!! from &quot;X&quot; date. The year the progressives thought they could make utopia. It continues today. If you are a teacher today, you were taught a LIE in college when it comes to teaching techniques. Just like the lies they put out about US History in schools today. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They were a fool to begin with if that is their mind-set. THATS the problem. 
 I would turn the entire DC school system over to private hands my first term as prez. I would evoke executive powers for national security reasons, and violating the civil rights of these children. I bet the SCOTUS would uphold it. 
I would spend the first 2 yrs re-interviewing teachers and ALL admin people. Take the good - hire more good - do not care about the bad. Start yelling sat kids again! Shaming them if they do not turn in assignments. Hire truancy officers to go track down the parents in person, return kids to school etc... 
You know, the system I was in from 1964-78. I got swats in the principles office until 6th grade. Stand with nose in the corner in front of the class. 
BoooYaaaahh!!! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[R&#039;s in congress are just as complicit in government growth and unkept promises.  middle class and students have a reason to be pissed off at wall st. we have a crony economic system that recycles error for profit. since the housing bubble banks are bigger and stronger, the super rich are more wealthy, and the middle classes asset wealth and median income has been destroyed. the financial markets are being hollowed out in our country at a much greater pace than the slow death of the public school system. get out of the R vs D paradigm, we have a one party statist system.  big banks are as &#039;evil&#039; and destructive to free markets and personal sovereignty as the NEA, recognize that.

		<description><![CDATA[Contracts can be dropped, sold, change management for the worse, ended and shut down and all sorts of reason to limit loyalty even if you act loyal for the moment. The whole idea of a contract is to deliver a product and make as much money as you can from it and in the case of charter schools the investors won&#039;t have their kids in the room with the inner-city kids they are &quot;helping&quot;, or live anywhere near one or teach in one.  Teachers in public schools often have their own kids there at the school they teach at, often live in the community, go to the churches and the stores, drive the buses, and coach the teams and clubs. Want to help then pay to send teachers to school or intern work for deeper training in a special area or to design better training and pay for some fancy NON-teacher professional to want to visit and teach for a year or two while the professional teacher advances skills. Design new buildings and curriculum with student input. They are after all the receivers of this effort and can help make changes ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Then all private schools should cost $8,000 to $11,000 or are you planning to invest $33,000 for each inner city child that leaves the public school or a private school charter? Contractors as everyone knows have loyalty only to their wealth. When Money doesn&#039;t line their pocket fast enough they either sale out, close down or go bankrupt as one did recently to the amount of 18,000,000 instantly loss to that state.  Teaching is a team activity if there ever was one merit pay encourages hoarding of skills and knowledge. What idiot shares an idea that might get someone else a raise and not you? Anyone working for contractors smiles says and does the right thing and starts planning for the next job as soon as they arrive or they are a fool.

		<description><![CDATA[DEMOCRATS ARE GOOD AT MAKING PROMISES THEY KNOW THEY WILL NEVER KEEP!  
 
New Mexico Senator TOM UDALL, wrote an article in the University of New Mexico during his 2008 campaign that said &quot;TUITION WILL BE FREE&quot; and four years later, IT&#039;S NOT FREE but it got he and Obama elected.   
 
Now Obama and Harry Reid planned the vote on higher rates on student loans two months before the election and the REPUBLICANS WERE FORCED TO AGREE WITH THE DEMOCRATS or they would be seen as making these poor students pay off their loans at a higher interest rate.   
 
Now there is a STUDENT MOVEMENT, actually a program conceived by the CPUSA, to go after WALL STREET (Occupy Wall Street/Code Pink) and those evil bankers who hold those student loans.   Signatures of one million students who will agree to stop paying their loans is now a nationwide campaign.   
 
STUDENTS NOW HOPE THAT OBAMA WILL FORGIVE ALL STUDENT LOANS and you can bet that before the 2014 election, the Democrats make that promise and students will again vote for them!  After the Democrats get voted in, they&#039;ll say, &quot;SUCKER!&quot;   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   Well, look at what happened to Michelle Rhee. She&#039;s a tough, no-nonsense administrator, who was going to reform the DC school system. She made a good start, but almost immediately ruffled some feathers, by firing one or two incompetent staffers, who couldn&#039;t get the proper textbooks from the warehouse to the schools. How long did she last? All of two years, maybe? Meaningful reform of failing public school systems by one person is all but impossible. As Newt Gingrich says, the NEA and AFT are too strong and too entrenched.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[$30,000 a year per student in DC is an outrage. It needs to be pointed out though schools where the majority of students are poor and come from families with little or no education or English proficiency is not necessarily a &quot;death sentence&quot; regarding education. Generations ago, public schools in certain immigrant neighborhoods in New York produced very high achievers. It isn&#039;t only the teachers who are at fault, or even the school boards. It also depends on the culture of the families and the students. Regarding vouchers, I have talked to a great many parents of kids in private schools who don&#039;t want vouchers (even though one would think it would help them). The reason: they don&#039;t want their kids going to school with those they consider &quot;riff raff&quot; and vouchers might make that possible.  Personally, I think the system will go belly up and we will have to start considering many, many different education alternatives -- including home schooling. The system as it stands now will just break down. ]]></description>
