		<description><![CDATA[&quot;I didn&#039;t get the sarcasm. Maybe you&#039;re just a poor communicator.&quot;

Perhaps.  I&#039;d suggest a more likely explanation is that you&#039;ve let your emotional response get in the way of your ability to read my posts intelligently.  The first requirement to communication is the honest desire to understand what the other person is trying to say.  

&quot;Eureka! Problem solved! We&#039;ll squander billions more, but this time on a
 mysterious &quot;coherent, well-considered objective.&quot; Brilliant! &quot;
 
You&#039;re still letting your anger get in the way.  Solving problems generally involves identifying the problem; trying to understand its nature, its causes, its effects; working out possible solutions in broad terms; narrowing possible solutions into more specific proposals that can be analyzed; then working out how to resource them.  The conversation I was trying to participate in really focused on coming to agreement on the nature of the problem, and considering some of its possible causes.  When Drakken suggested that having spent X amount of money implies that we&#039;ve done all that we need to do, my response was intended to point out that the amount of money spent isn&#039;t indicative of the degree to which the problem has actually been addressed.  The dollar figure is meaningless, in the context of evaluating whether more needs to be done.  Obviously, it&#039;s not meaningless in discussing whether we have the resources to do more, or to take a different approach, or to conduct a cost-benefit analysis, but that&#039;s not where we were.

&quot;Your &quot;solution&quot; sets new standards for banality.&quot;

That&#039;s possibly because you&#039;re trying to put the conversational cart before the horse, and misreading half of what you&#039;re encountering in the process.
 
&quot;Who&#039;s the dim one?   :)&quot;
 
I served with a company commander once who asked one of my soldiers what was on the soldier&#039;s mind; the soldier told the captain that it was probably best if he didn&#039;t say.  The captain made it an order - &quot;tell me what&#039;s on your mind.&quot;  So the soldier told him.  The captain brought him up on criminal charges.  

At the hearing, our battalion commander heard the charges, looked at my troop, said &quot;Raleigh, you know you shouldn&#039;t have said that, right?&quot;  &quot;Yessir.&quot;  &quot;Right, dismissed.&quot;  No fine, no confinement, no demotion, no punishment of any sort.  When Raleigh had left, we stood up to leave.  &quot;Not so fast, you.&quot;  The battalion commander looked at the company commander and said &quot;Bob, don&#039;t ask the question if you don&#039;t want to hear the answer.&quot;

He wasn&#039;t a great battalion commander, but that was a great moment.  In the spirit of that moment, I&#039;ll say to you &quot;don&#039;t ask the question if you don&#039;t want to hear the answer.&quot;

I apologize for calling you dim.  As someone pointed out to me recently, two wrongs don&#039;t make a right, and pushing your buttons isn&#039;t going to help me get my points across.   A bit of a break is probably in order.

Regards.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t believe lack of money is remotely responsible for our pathetic public schools. Unions are a big part. Teacher&#039;s attitudes are a big part. But the biggest factor is cultural. Morality has declined in our society and with it has come the dissolution of the American family. 


The Left has worked tirelessly to insinuate its destructive agenda into our schools, and the teachers have willingly gone along with it, in return for more money and better benefits. Political correctness has supplanted Judeo-Christian morality and the result is plain to see.


One room school houses in the 1800&#039;s produced junior high students that would make many of our college grads look sick. Obviously, they didn&#039;t have computers then, and science is far more advanced now, but most of today&#039;s students stink at math and science, despite all of the technological advantages. The biggest difference is the values of the parents and the integrity of the family structure.


The inner city schools failed in large part because of the Left&#039;s concerted effort to buy a voting block. They used our inner city schools to teach hate instead of reading and arithmetic. They corrupted the family structure with welfare, which led to too much idle time and black men drifting away from their responsibilities as fathers. 


Failure to teach morals and virtue leads to motivational breakdown. Intentionally teaching immorality, which is rampant in our schools, leads to negative motivation, which is why you can&#039;t fix the inner city schools regardless the objectives. You have to fix the people first, and if they don&#039;t want to be fixed, nothing will motivate them...other than sustained suffering, or disaster. It&#039;s gotten that bad.


My solution for the inner city schools is vouchers, charter schools, or any other means of getting those kids with motivation a chance at a decent education. If the rest don&#039;t behave, are destructive, deal drugs, attack teachers, etc., then shut that school down, stop wasting money, and send those kids to burger flipping classes, because that is all they will ever be able to do without the ability to at least read and write.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, the collective will fix it. All great solutions spring forth from the collective effort of collectivists. Just look at history.

You keep thinking that problems are solved externally. No wonder you&#039;re a statist. Perhaps you found the old truism on motivation, &quot;you can lead a horse to water, but you can&#039;t make him drink&quot; too complicated.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#039;t get the sarcasm. Maybe you&#039;re just a poor communicator.
 When you go back and read Drakken&#039;s question to you about how much we should spend, it didn&#039;t make sense for you to respond as you did if you agreed spending more isn&#039;t the answer. You responded to my comment below with an admission that more money does need to be spent, but with a meaningless condition.

My comment: &quot;All of your &quot;solutions&quot; require money. Name one that doesn&#039;t.&quot;

Your response: &quot;Of course they involve spending money. The point is that spending money alone is insufficient - it must be spent in support of a coherent, well-considered objective.&quot;

Eureka! Problem solved! We&#039;ll squander billions more, but this time on a mysterious &quot;coherent, well-considered objective.&quot; Brilliant! 
Um...what would that well-considered, coherent objective be, if I may be so bold as to ask? And again, what good are these wonderful objectives when they are YOUR objectives, not the student&#039;s?

You are still saying that more money needs to be spent, but don&#039;t have the slightest clue as to how it should be done. Your &quot;solution&quot; sets new standards for banality. It sounds like something leftist educators would come up with, in fact, it sounds exactly like all of their previous rationales for squandering money on people who aren&#039;t motivated to learn.   

Who&#039;s the dim one?   :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well buckwheat, I certainly don&#039;t fear you, and respect isn&#039;t a given where your concerned. I never grew up with blacks, but as a police officer, I worked in the darkest part of a major city, so I am a realist. Thank God I am now in the private sector instead of the sh*thole where I was assigned to. I would much rather be in war zones overseas than any US inner city.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yep.  I was recruited by one the country&#039;s largest school systems.  I did some student teaching at one of their roughest schools.   As a former military guy, they thought I had the right background and touch to deal with those kids.  

I passed on it.  There was a time when that sort of challenge would have appealed to me, but I don&#039;t have the energy to enter that kind of fight with my hands tied.  And I agree with you that as currently structured, &quot;inmates running the asylum&quot; pretty well describes our urban schools.  

I don&#039;t think that&#039;s the kids&#039; fault.  I don&#039;t think it&#039;s the teachers&#039; fault.  But it&#039;s not going to get better by tut-tutting about parenting, etc.  If it&#039;s going to get fixed, it&#039;s going to happen because we collectively decide to fix it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Egyptians weren&#039;t African much less anyone else along the Med, you dumbazz, they were a Med mix and Mesopotamian. That is why the Egyptians had such a successful empire for a thousand years and there was nothing like it in sub-Sahara Africa. Just wtf are they teaching you idiots in school today? By the way, do you know why the Nubians(black) were made slaves? And why the Nubians could not defeat the more advanced Egyptians?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What makes you think that the solution is simply spending money? You do.  Inner city schools in Mpls/St. Paul spend 3-4 times the amount per pupil than the surrounding white suburbs and rural areas, yet the graduate rate is on average almost 55%. My kids were home schooled and then sent to private boarding schools in Europe.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;If you&#039;d doubled your spending, would they have been twice as good?&quot;

A rhetorical question that implies that doubling the spending would 
improve the child raising results. Your assumption falls apart in the 
real world.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Is it even &lt;i&gt;possible&lt;/i&gt; that you&#039;re this dim?  Are you pulling my leg?

On the one hand, I suppose I should be happy that you understand the point I was trying to make and agree with it.  On the other, it&#039;s discouraging that you didn&#039;t understand that I was trying to make it.  

The question was sarcastic.  It was intended to highlight how utterly inane it is to try to measure solutions to problems by how much money has been spent on it.  Perhaps if you had noted that I offered my comment in response to a post that read, in part:
&lt;blockquote&gt;I mean we have spent trillions in anti-poverty programs and educational bottomless pits of the inner city school system, so again, how much is it going to take and how much more guilt can you pile upon us privileged
 whites before everything is all better and wonderful?&lt;/blockquote&gt;


My whole point here is that it&#039;s absurd to say &quot;we spent X dollars, so the problem should be solved.&quot;


What matters isn&#039;t how much is spent, but that it&#039;s spent in the service of a coherent, workable solution.]]></description>
