14 Wacky "Facts" Kids Will Learn in Louisiana's Voucher Schools

i cant argue with that.....and i know plenty of Mexicans who would agree with that.....

Mexico has the 7th most prosperous economy in the world. They have plenty of smart and prosperous people.

if they are that prosperous, then why don't they stay home?

Because Mexico is a social democracy (Euro socialist) and has a caste system that excludes the darker skinned portions of the population from economic success. So the Mestizos flee to the USA for a combination of easy welfare and more opportunity in the job market.

This has destroyed the entry level job market. A 35 year old illegal and a 16 year old America both want to work at McDonalds for the same wage. But the illegal is an adult who will be more reliable, so who is going to get the job? Same thing with paper routs, mowing lawns, and a thousand other low end jobs.

Here is another useful tool of the progressive and statist Far Right: redistribution of taxes for religious schooling.

What is your objection to offering poor and middle class kids an extraordinary educational opportunity? And please spare me the separation of church and state bullshit.

One who answers a question with a question has no rebuttal.
I asked you a direct question. A direct answer is requested.

Missouri 'Right To Pray' Amendment Allows Students To Reject School Assignments That 'Violate His Or Her Religious Beliefs'

This applies to ALL religions.
Now go put some ice on your chin after your ridiculous knee jerk reaction.

If your kid has your attitude, be prepared for the public school, the place where private schools send their problems. This is called competition?

Public schools are a conflict of interest. That they perform poorly is only one aspect or the problem. Public schools are by nature there to serve the interest of the government, not the student. Children are prepared in public schools to obey authority, to not question rulers, to recite mantras, and mostly how to be institutionalized so that should they graduate to prison, they will know how to act.

What public schools do NOT prepare children for is critical thought, investigative curiosity, questioning dogma, developing a standard of ethics, valuing integrity above authority.

Yes, it's true that public schools fail to teach math, science, music, legitimate history, etc. But that is a symptom of the issue. The actual issue is that public schools are intended to indoctrinate a subservient populace, not educate a free people.

Because Mexico is by and large a nation of uneducated people. The government has made laws where the government gives the appearance of benevolence to the people. But the ruling elite class with ties to or is pert of the government collects all wealth then redistributes just enough to the people to keep them miserable.
Sort of what the libs here want to see.

Ranked above the nation's average, DE, ME, IL, NH, and even CA

In all fairness, only one state is ranked below CA. (Arkansas)

I was using the rankings from this site:

In recently released rankings of how states' primary education systems are preparing students for careers in engineering, Massachusetts, Minnesota and New Jersey top the list. Mississippi trails as the worst in the country, following West Virginia and Louisiana.

Shows to Go ya, how Huffers will dig and dig until they find a source that supports the skewed data they want to promote.

Take a look at the list of Funders at the site I linked, then wonder why any left-leaning progressive wouldn't want to use their data:

Apparently the test results are uncomfortable for educrats, so a new measure of ranking has been devised that includes spending as a positive metric, giving states like California a boost due to the high number of dollars spent per student, even though test scores remain at the bottom of the heap.

I must modify my earlier statement, California has improved from 49th to 43rd in actual testing metrics.

{California ranked:

47th for fourth-grade reading

45th for fourth-grade math

49th for eighth-grade reading

48th for eighth -grade math }

Kakhota gets to move to the front of the class for shitheads. The fucktard thinks private school teach wacky things (relative to the public schools). How f-ing stupid! And, even if private schools were wackier, only a fascist shithead (that's Kakhota and his fellow fags) would think it's the government's job to tell people's kids what they're to believe about things.

Some of the extreme conservative religionists here demonstrate the difference between faith hope and understanding empirical data.

Thank heavens for public schools, I am sure Jesus is saying.

You seek to protect the public employee unions, not to provide a quality education to children.

Just as the food served in school cafeterias is costly, yet inferior, the education provided is costly and inferior, because there is no competition and the schools are run to benefit teachers and administrators, not to provide an education. After all, why should public schools focus on providing the service they are paid for? The have a captive customer.

This is why you fear choice, once there is competition, the inferior performance of public schools will be taken into account by the customers, who will choose higher quality. Further, you KNOW the public schools are inferior, or you would be confident that any parent would choose them. Instead, you fear that none will, not even left wingers - because ultimately, the product is inferior and even leftists want their children to do well.
