In so many ways, the dream is still far from reality. I ve said before that one of the areas of American life where Martin Luther King s vision remains unfulfilled is public education. Teachers unions and government school protectionists have stood in the schoolhouse door, blocking innovation, competition, and parental choice leaving minority children and their families to languish in some of the country s worst schools.
hack habbo hotel Planned by a diverse and nonpartisan coalition of individuals and organizations, National School Choice Week features special events and activities that highlight support for school choice programs and proposals. The effort is a collaboration of more than 200 partner organizations, which each use the week to advance their own messages of educational opportunity while uniting with like-minded organizations across the country.
National School Choice Week believes that parents should be empowered to choose the best educational environments for their children hack habbo hotel and supports a variety of school choice options from encouraging increased access to great public schools, to public charter schools, magnet schools, virtual schools, private schools, homeschooling and more.
Just as whistle-stop tours were used to promote civil rights like women s suffrage to the end of racial segregation, the National School Choice hack habbo hotel Week Special will draw attention hack habbo hotel to the great civil rights fight of the 21st century: school choice for all Americans regardless of their race, income, zip code or learning ability, said Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week.
Throughout the tour, thousands of concerned citizens are expected to rally at special events that will feature speeches by students who are succeeding in school choice programs, parents, national hack habbo hotel education reform leaders and elected officials. The tour includes major whistle-stop events in the following cities:
The Week focuses on six educational choices designed hack habbo hotel to help children secure the education that is right for them. Those choices include: high-performing traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet hack habbo hotel schools, private schools, digital learning and home schooling.
hack habbo hotel School choice helped open the door to a brighter future for my son, Gabriel, said Valerie Evans, a school choice mom. School choice is a lifesaver for my child and ensures he will be in a safe environment first and foremost. It means he can now be educated in an environment that is not only safe, but he will get the education he needs and deserves. Without a quality education from grade school, he won t have the foundation he needs to get into college, graduate and be a success.

If people on food stamps can t make the right (aka healthy ) choices with regard to what foods they buy with their stamps what makes anyone here think they can be trusted to make the right choices with regards to school hack habbo hotel choices?
And how many counter protestors will there be from the all-knowing, all-caring, all-inclusive unionistas who have successfully, nudge by nudge, turned our world leading public education system hack habbo hotel into a distant, also-ran indoctrination system? If you are among the 47% who still pay taxes to fund the public schools, you consider yourself an investor in the future of the country. hack habbo hotel Is it a good investment or a complete waste of your money when you look at say the Detroit school system where only 4(FOUR!!!!!) percent of the students are functionally literate? What is the value of your investment in America s future if you buy into the LAUSD s recent decision to consider a D a passing grade? Or Chicago, with the recent raise, aka union money grab, to reward some of the highest paid teachers in the country and one of the highest drop out rates in the nation? Unfortunately, it is not just a big city problem. In our mid-size suburb we have a blue ribbon school system and in a recent report, the stats showed that 36% of all graduates who go on to college require one year of remedial work to get up to college level!
You are correct. I used to work in higher education and quit because it was so depressing to see the state of our kids today. They can t read, they can t write and they can t do math. But they know all about homosexuality, condoms, abortion. I live in small town but our schools are of course, public and teachers are union. Teachers think it s all the fault of the parents. My answer to that is, even if that were true (which in 90% of the case isn t) it s not the responsibility of the public school system to take on the role of parent. It s going to take this nation a couple of generations if we want to correct the damage. I don t see that happening. Our future is our children, and our future is pretty bleak.
It s more likely irreversible, so cheer the partying hack habbo hotel MSNBC gang this morning. We saw this coming long ago but ignored hack habbo hotel the train s headlights at the end of the tunnel. The in-fight hack habbo hotel squabbles hack habbo hotel of Conservatives over self-eroding issues only helped nail the coffin as with what happened last election with conservatives staying home which was totally hack habbo hotel sickening inexcusable, not matter their beef. The nation as a whole is morally lost, but red states still have time to fortify themselves as refuges and havens of Conservatism if they act now!
In my little berg we have taxis driving St Louis City blacks 45 miles to west St Louis County schools, even though St Louis City is it s own county, and St Louis County is a seperate county. So we bus across county lines under threat of a cut off of state money, and wind up with gang violence in a school with one of the highest tax bases and academic scores in the state. Not to mention millions hack habbo hotel of dollars in transporting these yutes from an area with the poorest tax rate and base to the highest. Once again, the people who value education and a decent life must support the moochers and monsters hack habbo hotel from the inner city because they are poor blacks who seem too lazy to improve their schools, too criminal minded to put their thug children in jail so they can live like humans instead of prisoners, and too stupid to figure out the path to American prosperity even though the roadmap has been printed for decades, and even the least educated poorest foriegner seems plenty capable of following it. I m tired of excusing criminal behavior by 14% of society because they are black, and if you mention that you are RACIST! When 1/2 of the prisons are occupied by black inmates, that means they are 9 times as likely as the rest of the population to commit crimes bad enough to get them incarcerated. What a legacy Barry and Jesse. Perhaps you could work on fixing that.
Why should the OWVHers hack habbo hotel care about school choice? The dumber hack habbo hotel the population, the easier they re to manipulate. You re correct that many blue states are beyond hack habbo hotel help, but red states will not be saved unless they stop the feds dead on their tracks, even if it means loosing funding hack habbo hotel in the short term. THEN they can serve as refuges and havens for conservatism.
hack habbo hotel Don t be ridiculous, libturd elitists don t let their children mix up with the rabble. The go to special schools, where they re taught how wonderful they are, how much better than everybody else they are, and why they are destined to rule over the unwashed masses, since they re SUPERIOR to everybody else, due to their libturd sensibilities ./SARC

The high school I went to (somewhere else) was crappy when I went there, and now has about the same literacy hack habbo hotel rate as Detroit s schools. I forget exactly, something like 6% of tenth graders passed all three tests reading, math and science.
The DOE should hack habbo hotel be dismantled and the states and local districts should run schools. hack habbo hotel Every kid in America should also have the choice to leave a crappy school and go to a good one. Move over Obama kid the kid from the projects hack habbo hotel will be sharing your desk.
Failure to decate our young is a modern tragedy that we can only accomodate. The system, with some exceptions, hack habbo hotel is broken hack habbo hotel and cannot be repaired. Teachers today are faced with children they cannot control, who never developed self control, or learned study habits. And those youngsters hold back the kids who can and want to learn, so they are all dumbed down to the same level.
hack habbo hotel Teachers are expected to teach subjects that should be life experiences, not taking up classroom time. Class sizes, down to 15 to 20, used to be 35-40 and were highly successful. We can only throw good money after bad, in the public system and hope for the best. I see the future in virtual education, where a teacher in a lab teaches dozens of children at their computers at home, or in less formal settings than a classroom.We need new answers, or we lose our Nation.
The BIG TOPIC in the 60 s was the voucher system. It was passed in both houses. Carter in a move that may have been the death-nell of this country vetoed it, and the GOP have never brought it up again.
The voucher program would have provided education with what was badly needed competition. Public Schools do not like to be judged, and they certainly do not like competition. The teachers unions conflate fairness with equality. So even though math and science majors have options beyond teaching, they must earn the same w
