I just love Connecticut.  I wish I could get the hell out of here.

 

2 Yet another reason to homeschool.

3 It's not only that our current educational system is failing many, many students.

It's not only that teaching actual knowledge is being replaced with teaching politically correct progressive crap liek global warming.

It's is also that these people who lie, cheat, steal, and vandalize simply do not have the character to be allowed anywhere near children.

4 ace, clean up on last thread needed at 140

5 CLEAN UP COMMENT #140 PREVIOUS THREAD.

6 Private school or home school.  I wouldn't send a cat to a public.

7 First step in going Galt is pulling your kids out of public schools.

8 The second step is paying taxes for schools you aren't using and paying tuition. Gunbroker isn't far behind at that point.

9 It's my nature.

10 Yeah.. 140 in the last thread is a bit too much of wishcasting...

11 The way in which you sound disappointed in These People is kinda endearing

like you don't fully realize who and what They are--and have any surprisel eft

Hey, if the rampant cheating in Atlanta didn't bother anyone, why should this?

At some point people's eagerness to be deceived and ill-used is their own fault.

I'm just mad I'm not profiteering from it.  Stupid morals.  Stupid parents raising me right.

About a month ago I was talking with a local university's physics teacher and asked him what he thought about the quality of students graduating from public high schools.  After stating that he thought the very smart ones continued to be very good, he admitted that there's a disturbing inability to think in a way that combines differing concepts to solve problems.  The students are good at regurgitating things that are told to them but, in effect, they're unable to think.  I think this, and the inability or unwillingness for it to be addressed, is a bigger threat to the future of the country than El JEFe.

21 Also like how the leftist/gay activists infiltrated the churches.

And it's only a matter of times before public schools have 'glitter bomb' Fridays. It all ties in together. AmIright Kevin Jennings? Because it's for art class. Or something.

22 We need more unions.....that's the answer.

23 Fuck a buncha' kids.  If we don't get the power and all the money we want, then nobody gets nothin'.  Ya' got that!

24 du auch, meine Schatzie.   Alles klar ( an die Andrea Doria ) ??

25 So is the Stock market a leading and lagging indicator ????

33 Still 25 pts above the intraday low.  Closing at the low will be a bad indicator, oh yes.

34 Approaching -600.

35 but Matt Damon said... Oh, even better, Larry O'donnel wil deck anyone who criticizes teachers.

36 -600 plus down today.

37 Fifteen minutes to the closing bell and the market's still looking for a bottom. 11,000 wasn't tested, it was tossed on a pinball machine like Jodie Foster in The Accused. I picked the wrong day to stop huffing whippits.

38 ach lieber Gott, was für ein Idiot ich bin.

Many things the AFT should do, and many of them involve Scheiss

41 Here's a question for proponents of home schooling.  What if you simply can't home school, because neither parent can be at home to do the schooling because of job responsibilities?  I realize there's private school, charter school, etc, but those are quite expensive.  What do you do?  Do you just make sure you're really involved in your child's school, to make sure her teachers don't try to pull any bullshit?  I ask this because, while I don't have children now, I would LIKE to have children someday.  But I'll eat my hat if I'm going to willingly send any child of mine off to public school.

42 Barry's gonna need a dump truck load of coke after today.

Been there.

but Matt Damon said...

What he says and what he does are two different things. Who here wants to bet wether or not that kid of his ever sees the inside of a puplic school

46 Seems like you can educate 1000 students with 40 teachers, 8000 books, a big building, and maybe 3 administrators and 10 staff.

Pay each employee $50k per year average and spend .5 million per year on the building and the books.  That's $3150 per student per year.

If the teacher sucks, fire them.  For $50k you can find a hard working teacher.  If the student doesn't learn what they are supposed to, flunk them.

In Chicago, they spend $8000k per student.  A lot of that goes to administration nonsense.  I googled it and they say Connecticut spends $15,000 per student, but I find that hard to accept.

Regardless, the problem with education is we're spending too much money, and have a bunch of horseshit instead of serious education.

47 Hi!  Is this the Nazi blog I heard about?

I've been noticing the same thing in my children, reason 2,764 for why homeschooling starts this year.

I need that. 

Also, for work (which I occasionally do while at work), I had to look up some info on an investment company.  There at the bottom of the page was the "investments may lose value" thing and I nearly hurt something laughing.

62 Oh my now THIS is golden--

We'll see what he says today. This is going to rip the scab off every feeling about this war. Joe Biden, who gets beat up for his mental limitations, and yet he was the one that understood intuitively this should be a counterterrorism operation.

So they're going beyond saying 'oh that Joe', and even beyond the few that dare call him gaffetastic, and now they're referring to his 'mental limitations'?

So I take it this is the end of Joe and they're starting to set the stage for his replacement?

One of the many problems of modern public education is they try to teach students how to be "good people."  Forget that.  Teach your students how to read, write, and do math.  Then add electives, like music, theater and art, to give them a little more of a rounded education.  But quit trying to teach "morals" and "values."  That's for parents to do.  Sure, a lot of parents are bone stupid and will have equally bone stupid, immature, uncouth children, but society can deal with that.  What we CAN'T deal with is publically-funded indoctrination institutions.

65 62 I ask this because, while I don't have children now, I would LIKE to have children someday.

Well make sure they are defrosted and cook them at 350 degrees for 3 hours.

Being involved in the schools is just a fucking dodge because the union humps will steamroller you.  My wife was the head of the local elementary school's PTA when the very good principal announced she was leaving for another system and the two replacements they presented as possibilities were both fucking terrible.  None of the above wasn't an option so they got stuck with Door #2 and the school subsequently declined badly.  I yanked one of my daughters to a local private school; verrrrrry expensive but I could juggle finances to pay for it.  Even if I couldn't I'd have found a way to finance it because it's an excellent investment in your child's future; even better than college imo (she got into Columbia which was a big waste of money imo and probably her opinion too).  The other daughter stayed in the public school because I didn't want to force her to do something she didn't want to do (which my parents kind of did to me and, as you can surmise with somebody with a nic like mine, old grudges die hard) and she had a few good teachers; specifically in chemistry and calculus.  But the other teachers were fucking pathetic, especially the ones teaching grammar, and my wife and I screamed at them every goddamned parent teacher conference that she didn't know how to construct a simple sentence and those fuckheads told me she was one of the best students.  Finally when she got to college (don't get me started on what the graduation ceremony was like) she called up outraged one day that her freshman English teacher wanted her to go see a tutor.  Mrs H and I both got on the phone and ordered her to follow that advice.  After a few short sessions, the tutor was able to get what those useless cocksuckers couldn't do in years; namely get her to write lucid and grammatically correct sentences.

*sigh*

I'm glad the college tutor was able to help her out, and that your other daughter fared so well, too.

I'm really thinking at this point, bringing a child into THIS world is tantamount to pure evil.  OI.

82 Have I told you folks how much I detest JEF today? I really detest him. I feel better. I feel cleansed. I also feel poorer. Funny how that works.

Stating that probably makes you more qualified than anybody popping 'em out in large quantities.  Don't despair; just be ready to pay close attention to every facet of their lives.  I'm sure you can do it; I'm just giving you a head's up on what to expect.  As difficult as it is, the results are very much a function of the time you put in.

84

74 That's "whippit," not "whippet."

Spend a day with me and you'll be hep to the jive before you can chew through your restraints.

A "whippit"  basically looks like a Co2 cannister (the kind used in pellet guns) filled with Nitrous Oxide. These are used in cooking tools used to fluff heavy cream instantly into whipped cream. Huffing a whippit amounts to abusing Nitrous Oxide....commonly seen at all the old Grateful Dead and Phish concerts.

Straight nitrous without oxygen suppliments, will leave you feeling GREAT even as you get brain dammage from lack of oxygen. It's a lot like having Alzheimers. If you ever get it, you won't remember why you didn't want it.

85 When are we going to go after these lobbyist and the staff of our politicians? The names and motivations should be analysed and called out.

Posted by: Captain Hate at August 08, 2011 04:10 PM (houma) John Taylor Gatto, the former NY teacher and angry reformer, said that what they actually teach in K-12 is worth about one year of actual teaching, IIRC (can't find the quote at the moment, but it was in his book - might have been two years...)

Nah they're still fucking them.  Its just not intercourse.

There's a school board election going on right now in Seattle, or maybe it's a primary.  I still haven't excavated my ballot from my desk so I'm a little vague on the details.  But given the varieties of corruption uncovered in the last year, we might actually see some turnover.

What makes me sick is hearing idiot candidates talk about being in a partnership with the Washington Education Association.  The biggest problem with all school management is the belief that they can be "in partnership" with a labor union.  The school board is management; the union is labor.  There is no freaking partnership and, legally, I don't think there can be. 

And to any parent who thinks a teachers' union cares about their kids, just wait for the next pedophile teacher to pop up.  The union will defend the teacher and throw your kid to the wolves.

Yet somehow, the parents never seem to learn. 

91 I't called living in a deep blue state. And while sometimes it's amusing to watch the idiots, most often it's just painful.

92 Yes, Stephen, it is painful, but one of my hobbies is adding comments to Jim McDermott's Facebook page.  It's a lot like poking  a hornet's nest with a stick.  They froth, they fume, they sneer, they yell.  They invariably accuse me of parroting the Heritage Foundation, which is funny because I hardly ever go there.

93 Its Pleasure to understand your blog.The above articles is pretty extraordinary, and I really enjoyed reading your blog and points that you expressed. I really like to appear back over a typical basis,post a lot more within the topic.Thanks for sharingÂ…keep writing!!!

94 Schools don't fail. Some teachers fail to teach and many students fail to learn. While I think teacher unions are an aberration, unrealistic expectations for Little Johnny Xbox has to be factored into the equation here. It really is that complicated. I have had numerous discussions from a very conservative inner city school teacher. No one, not the teacher unions, not the top heavy and basically useless administrations, the parents who always side with their brats and the spoiled brats themselves (on the whole...there is a such thing as an IQ bell curve) wants to be held accountable.
