Louisiana school performance has improved dramatically since Hurricane Katrina. It took an act of God to destroy the Public School System and bring in charter schools which are greatly out performing them. The Public School Teachers' Union is really upset, but the parents will not turn away from their children. They will support the charter schools.

Yep, it is the new democrat. Now if a republican is legally elected by a majority of the State and is opposed by a democrat, a recall petition is in order.

This or simply try to shut down the state because they do not think they can win the vote, aka Wisconsin

I am still waiting for why more charters schools are bad. Or why vouchers are bad. Or why judging teachers by their performance is bad.

Vouchers and charter schools are essentially a ploy by private industries to have federal and local funds redistributed away from existing schools in order to fund private for profit institutions. It would cost taxpayers and individual 100 times as much to close existing schools in order to move kids, en masse, to private schools and "voucher" schools. What is the purpose of closing down existing schools rather than make more modest improvements. If you want runaway deficit spending, switch to this type of program.

As for judging teachers on "performance". What exactly is there related to "performance" that can be guaged by fill in the blank scan tron sheets? How exactly does that prove a teachers effectiveness? If you can logically and clearly show how test taking proves a (*)(*)(*)(*) thing, please enlighten me. Performance and test scores are FAR apart in relation to each other.

Liberals who are against charter schools or vouchers are the type that want to keep minorities on their plantation. most failing schools are in poor areas and those with a big ethnic enrollment.

liberals don't want to give the choice to parents to give their kids a chance. Its funny, Obama sits there in the white house, has his kids in a nice cozy private school, yet those in public schools had the option of vouchers taken away from them. I find it amuzing also, how liberals talk about how great public schools are, but Obama and others like him send their kids to private school. And no, its not a security issue as security can be administered the same way in a public school as it is in a private school.

Again, socialism isn't for the socialist, its for the people.

I will agree with you about teacher performance but one of the reasons it has come about is because of unions. School administrators can no longer get rid of teachers that are bad so legislation has stepped in to try to fix the problem. You cannot even discipline students anymore without the threat of a lawsuit.

To your first point, you are way off on cost since most private schools already teach at a much lower cost per student than public schools.

Teach your own kids or don't have them. Home-schooling will be the norm when society collapses in the USA. Until then, don't look at me as a piggy-bank for your little snots. I would just as soon shoot you as opposed to financially supporting you when I came to the realization at the age of 18 that I would be unfit as a parent.

LOL, you sound like my girlfriend.
