		<description><![CDATA[Well, do the $43,000 a year kids go to the &quot;poor&quot; schools also? 
I don&#039;t see anything wrong with cross-cultural field trips as long as it goes both ways.
I happen to think this isn&#039;t a bad way to promote the American Dream.
Didn&#039;t Senator Rubio say when he was a kid his parents would drive through neighborhoods with very fancy houses and it made him want to achieve success?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So true...

&lt;i&gt;Yet the test should be so simple: just listen to any prophet and if you hear him speak of sacrifice – run. Run faster than from a plague. It stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there’s someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;But if you ever hear a man telling you that you must be happy, that it’s your natural right, that your first duty is to yourself – that will be the man who has nothing to gain from you.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;But let him come and you’ll scream your empty heads off, howling that he’s a selfish monster. So the racket is safe for many, many centuries.&lt;/i&gt;


I could quote some Dewey to go with the Toohey, but I&#039;m sure you are already familiar with that real-life creature...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Math, English, Sciences taught well and you can turn an Aborigine into a Doctor. Or a George Washington Carver, or a Dr. Ben Carson. You&#039;ve got to stress the &quot;hard&quot; sciences, then if they can&#039;t make it as a doctor, they can become a technician. Or if they can&#039;t be a technician, they can be a great Carpenter, etc. But you have to TEACH subjects that the real world needs. Creating activists ripe for Code Pink is ridiculous.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[righteous anger from Dr Sowell.

make no mistake, the dumbing down of the poor and middle class is ian important part of the liberal agenda (see how well it worked with journolists!).

liberals don&#039;t want the poor to become educated and successful, not because that success would show the liberal programs are a scam and a failure, but because they need an enormous and permanent underclass to rule over.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m sure if the rich kids beat up a teacher or showed up drunk or threw garbage everywhere or spray painted everything their schools would look awful too.


Everyone overstates environmental effects. The environment represents poor standards and a lack of commitment, which takes very little effort to turn around.


Many times there schools have been renovated and new approaches made from the top down. They&#039;re thought of as fools and cowards and the school ends up worse than before.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That kind of luxury is intimidating to middle class kids. Its meant to be. We are seeing the middle class getting squeezed out of everything. We are seeing the middle class getting attacked for its views while the rich move from merely rich to an entrenched elite with their own propaganda. Those kids are not being taught to hate wealth because this is the last time they will have this kind of contact. They are being taught that the middle class is the enemy because that is who they can reach. Interesting to see our rich leftists rehearsing their children in their methods.

The left only cares about those they regard as safely inferior. Reach the point where you have the capacity to have your own unfettered life and own success and watch them lash out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The real problem is that ultimately, the students have to desire success. No school can function without desiring success, as the students in those rich schools (probably in Riverdale in the Bronx) do. That area in the Bronx is a far cry from the southern part of the borough.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;This is just one of many programs dreamed up by “educators” who seem determined to do anything except educate.&quot;

This seems to be the thing all management does in business as well as education. They have a need to keep progressing and coming up with new things. Everyone wants to be a mover and shaker, but sometimes moves the project off the path to success and shakes it loose from it&#039;s grasp of understanding and then thinks of it as an accomplishment.  It often ends up with change for the sake of change and benefit doesn&#039;t seem to be in the equation.]]></description>
