So you're saying that some poor kid in a ghetto with his crack whore mom and daddy in prison doesn't deserve to be educated?
Damn, you're so Democrat other Democrats should be taking notes.

See, I appreciate his honesty. It's more than we get out of other Democrats. Hemi is right there with his bigotry, racism, and fascist elitism. He doesn't try to hide behind word salad like the Democrat politicians and paid activists - he just flat says that nobody who isn't white and rich should get a decent education.

If It were honest, It would tell us why we have to pay to send our children to private school, and their idiot progeny to public school.
The idiot is not only monetarily bankrupt, but morally and intellectually bankrupt as well. It can ESAD while It hides behind It's dishonesty.
He already said - because he thinks only the wealthy and privileged should have access to quality education. I don't think it gets anymore honest than that.

For me, the dishonesty comes in when boot lickers like Hemi refuse to acknowledge that boot lickers like Hemi are freeloading off the taxpayer.
In Chuck County the kids go to school for their meals, not an education.
Whose siggy is "A half truth is a whole lie."?
What gets me is - see, in every state, almost to the last, the biggest statewide expense is - schools. You pay all of those taxes, and easily a fourth of it goes to pay for schools. Ditto county taxes. You pay a LOT of money for them.
So the argument that - well, there ARE alternatives - doesn't work - you have EVERY RIGHT to demand better performance from something you pay a lot for. Would you ever - ever - shell out thousands of dollars every year for an inferior product? No, but like anything, yes you can go buy something ELSE - with one proviso - you DO NOT CONTINUE TO PAY for the inferior product once you switch.
Make sense? If you hate Breezeline and switch to Comcast, good for you - Breezeline sucks. But NOT IF YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY BREEZELINE *anyway*.
It makes a LOT MORE SENSE to demand better performance for the one you ARE paying for.
So - school choice advocates have a solution, and it actually works - but Democrats HATE IT -
You pay for private school - and you get a credit on your state taxes for it. It's totally fair - you pay for a school, and you don't pay for the one your kid ISN'T going to. The public school system has one less child to deal with, and their budget - well, it probably doesn't change, actually.
Now, admittedly - this concept has a giant HOLE in it - what about all those taxpayers who DON'T have kids at all - or whose kids have grown - and they still pay the tax. Ok, yeah, I get it - same thing we do with healthcare - people who are well are still paying for the sick, even though they're not getting back what they pay in.
It DOES however, force public schools to try and be competitive, since the kids MOST LIKELY to switch to private schools are going to be the ones you don't want to lose - the ones whose grades and talents keep the school a good school. You don't want to be left as an institution with a bunch of brats and behavioral problems while the good kids leave. Well boo frickin' hoo. THAT, I don't sympathize with.
That's not only true - but it's a major election issue - as the school is a free breakfast and lunch program.
I've seen countless ads decrying cutting back on these programs, saying kids will go without food.
It is a shame that it works this way, but you do not distribute welfare through the school system.

The program has for years drawn the ire of the Maryland teachers union, which views public support of any voucher program — even one whose beneficiaries number in the thousands — as a toe in the door toward privatization that imperils state support of public education.
Another strong educational route that isn't getting enough attention is Charter Schools. A study that came out earlier this year showed that Charter Schools are producing better reading and math scores than traditional public schools. These schools have far less funding than public schools. Perhaps it is because Charter School teachers are not unionized? But it goes to show you funding isn't the reason the kids are not producing better in public school.
I said it a long time ago, the bellyaching for more money from our educational system was gonna be a Pandora's box, so be careful what you wish for. Why should we pay more to see a lessor product out the door?

I'd rather pay to feed the kids of crack whores and prison inmates than send it to Ukraine to find its way back to some skeevy politician's personal bank account. Not to mention the nice families who are struggling under massive inflation (Let's Go Brandon!) and this gives their kids two hots a day as well. I would pay for that any day over funding some illegal alien who is likely a child sex or drug trafficker.
We have money. It's just how our shitbags in government spend it that's the problem. They never discuss cutting the flow of cash to foreign warlords and drug runners; they always want to starve out little American kids and old people instead. I have no idea why we vote for these scumbags - they should all have their head on a pike.

And I will openly admit a bias I have towards teachers. 
They complain they are paid so poorly but compare that job with other jobs in the state requiring the same degree and see how low paid they are??? And my division wanted to know why we had such a hard time recruiting. Nobody wants to spend 50 percent or more of their time walking around ghettos for a starting salary of $40K per year.
And they try to use this as justification saying;
On average, teachers work 15 uncontracted hours per week, 12 of which are unpaid.
Many can say the same thing in their own work places, but it really comes down to time management. Some are better than others and it showed in the excess time they worked over scheduled hours. But, the one thing about teachers, they do get the summer off, something other jobs in the state don't get. In fact, they have to beg and plead to use their earned time off in many instances when their absence will cause a hardship on the office. You cannot have a hardship on an office that is closed for nearly 3 months a year.

Our inflation is lower than any other G7 nation. Gas is down food prices are down. Unemployment is at its lowest levels.
You are the ones who vote Republican who want to cut off funding and destroy public education. Who want to stop social services for those in need.
You are mad at yourself ?

On today's episode of Gobbledygook,
And here I was hoping she'd post where these gasoline and food prices are down.
Last fill up of my truck was still around 3.25 a gallon. Non-Ethanol is still around the 4.00 mark.

Yep and hiring more government workers should not be a credit to lowing the unemployment rate.And here I was hoping she'd post where these gasoline and food prices are down.

Or going back to work after COVID layoffs, or taking on second jobs.Yep and hiring more government workers should not be a credit to lowing the unemployment rate.
