  • You can't win. The Charter School industry has an agenda, kill the unions, make a few rich richer, and flood the media with false hype. Charter schools make up their own rules, as some have to accept anyone, they then expelll the troublesome students, who are dumped back into the overcrowded public schools, forcing more to fail. The problem is also, no one raises their own kids properly anymore, everyone expects the schools to do it.

  • China has public schools and they are doing just fine averaging some 10% growth per year. Our school problems became terminal over the past 25 years of Reaganomics, the growing wealth gap and the loss of our manufacturing sector.

  • Charter schools are simply a way for a few well connected cronies to skim even more money from the public well being, the common weal. Making our public schools private is stealing from the commonwealth of the nation.

  • And how sane is it to separate over 400 children from their families as the authorities recently did to a Mormon sect in Texas. Granted the Mormons have no right to break the law by forcing under age girls to marry old men but certainly not all of the 400or so were in danger of that or even girls for that matter. One last thought, if the common condition of nature is chaos how do you explain the explicit order of math?

  • Who said the common condition of nature is chaos? It fluctuates but math is a man made concept. It's like the alphabet. It's only useful in our terms as humans.

  • Physics 101 says as much. And is math man made or man perceived.

  • Made, it's a system we created. Define chaos then.

  • Check the dictionary. It is the same. Did you take phsics in college?

  • The neighbors dog bite my brother not mine. He was driven crazy by the rabies not bad dog training. And if could have your address I'd like to send the police over as you just admitted in writing to breaking an entering. Just kidding...I'd really like to send over some Jehovah's Witness members. Those guys are a real hoot. Hey I will admit there are some pretty crazy things that are done in the name of God but that do not mean that He endorses them.

  • I don't believe you about the dog(god). I use to study with the JW's. I'm well aware of them and their beliefs/tactics. God does not exist so he does not endorse.

  • Now I am beginning to understand your direction of dissatisfaction. It doesn't surprize me that you do not beleive the story about my brother and what happened to him. Your skepticism dictates your manner of thought or at least your way of communicating on this site. However, I assure you it happened in Fort Worth, Tx. when we were kids. Lying is not something I take lightly. I hope you do not allow the J W 's to be the reason you continue to turn from God. Ask him to reveal himself in some way.

  • Are you saying xians don't lie? Get over that false preconception. I hope you don't think you are any more correct than the JW's. God show yourself to me in some way today.....

  • No I am not saying that Christians never lie. We all know that all humans lie. I said I do not take lying lightly. That is what I said and what I mean. Where did you get that "Christians don't lie" from? Nor do I think that I am perfect or even close to that. I know that I am forgiven for my shortcomings. I am grateful, not perfect.

  • My point is you do lie, therefore I don't trust what you say every time. You are not forgiven by me for lying to me if you have.

  • I can prove the tooth fairy doesn't exhist. I lost teeth, put them under my pillow and instead of the tooth fairy my parents put money under my pillow. That proves because I did not have a personal experience with the tooth fairy their must be no such thing. Right? (yes I'm baiting you)Oh and a dog bite my brother and gave him rabies. He had to go through a very painful series of injections in the stomach. I guess even mans best friend allows us to got through pain on his behalf (as does God).

  • That was me putting the money under your pillow. When you are a poor dog owner and teach your dog to be aggresive it will bite. I don't blame the dog(god), but you. Bait taken.

  • The question is not rhetorical. It requires a simple yes or no. I've read some of your other comments and I can say it seems you are determined to cast bad lighting on alternate forms of education. Or is it just Christians. How many Jewish, Muslum, Taoist, etc. schools have made your list of dissatisfaction. How do you feel about home schooling? Just curious.

  • No, I can't prove any gods are not just ideas in your head. I am all for education of mythology in school. I heard there was a publicly funded Jewish and a muslim school and wrote letters to some public official. Home school if you want.

  • Thanks for your extremely powerful suggestion however I think I know what I like better than someone I've never met. I noticed you failed to answer vertually all of the questions that I asked. Can you prove that God exhists or not. And what business of yours is it if people want the kids to attend this school. Seriously, why does someone elses rights need to be invaided by YOUR beliefs (opinions) not facts. This school is not trying to recruit you are they?

  • And maybe you could sit back and enjoy the irony of presuming what I am like since you seem to think I'm obsessed with making nonbelievers out of people or wonder if I got my info from the internet or that I'm tearing down others. Your question is rhetorical. No one can prove the tooth fair doesn't exist. Is it any wonder that god spelled backwards is dog(man's best friend) meaning the opposite is the man's worst friend(god).

  • Question -- Are you in any way involved in the education process or just the "get all my info from the internet process". Why do you have such a obsession with trying to make people non believers. Can you prove God does not exist? Going to Church makes me feel GOOD. Having faith in God makes me feel Good. Being loving,generous and kind to people I do not know makes me feel GOOD. Is it any wonder that the words Good and God or so similar. Does tearing down other peoples beliefs make you feel GOD?

  • Go to a music concert or movie if you want to feel good. If you mean do I attend the public meetings on the SBOE then yes I'm involved. What's wrong with making people aware of deficiencies in our education process?

  • Are charter schools "private?"  Teraisa (thanks for sharing your views-I'm not in Texas, I am not qualified to respond in any way).

  • I wonder if G.W. Bush had an affect on this when he was governor. I feel sorry for you having to have him as governor.

  • W is not as bad as Governor Perry, the lobbyists for vouchers/private schools are funding Perry in many ways so he pushes for vouchers though 70% of the state doesn't want them.

  • Things can be worse afterall.

  • yes!! i want to go to that austin meeting soooo bad!! i've got to find someone to watch my son for me.
