Until the family is rebuilt in our society, education will continue to fail. And MANY teachers will be unfairly blamed for its failure.

And no amount of money is going to change that.


Agreed.

It's a noble goal to try and pay parents and family to care, but you just can't.


I don't think it is always that simple though. MANY schools are failing these kids.


It's never that simple.

It's a complex issue that can't be solved by just money.

I know enough parents who are sending their kids to failing schools. Not because they don't care but because they simply don't know better. It's the neighborhood school. The kids may even be doing well in the school. That will change instantly once that child goes to a school that doesn't suck. When you can take 1 school's 10 best students and place them elsewhere and they become average to above average students that's not parental failure. MANY of these awful and poorly funded schools are in poor and minority communities.

Change that and you'll start to see different outcomes. You can't continue giving poor and minority kids mush and expect the majority to turn it into a gourmet meal.


Exactly!



I'm glad we can all agree on that. Which also means that we can and should promote the best outcome for all kids.

MANY private schools are doing better than the CPS spending MUCH less per student than they are. Which means they are not getting MUSH. Educate parents to send their kids to better schools, and MANY of them will follow.

Hey, parents that can't afford private school. Send your kid to a school you can't afford and all will be well.

If we passed a law that anyone who receives a salary derived from taxpayer dollars MUST send his/her kid(s) to their local public schools, you'd see public schools get good in a real fucking hurry.

I don't think anyone here considers either one of you a very informed poster, or a high IQ voter so, there are charter schools and there is a new law that goes into effect in 2018.

Great, now every kid can go to a private school. Lets just shut down all of the bad public schools and everything will be solved.

He doesn't suck.

He does like to hear the sound of his own keyboard though. And Douchebag is just being Douchebag.

Many private schools are better because the kids come from two parent households where both parents have a financial and personal investment in the education of their children. While the same parents are also providing a healthy investment in the education of public school kids as well.


There is a new law that reduces some of the Constitutional barriers and and as you can see, there are some on this page already complaining about it. And there are a number of private schools that are not religiously affiliated too.

Stop being so dramatic. My original reply was because of this ridiculous statement above which is akin to Dan Bernstein telling someone to "move". Then you replied like the whole system is solved because people can now donate money and receive a tax credit and send that money to private schools.

But I'm firmly in the freedom from religion crowd, and although I'm a private school kid myself, $30k is ridiculous for grammar and high school. And college.

And lower tuition is only possible with extremely generous benefactors...like the Rockefellers
