Obama on charter schools

[DarthVengent]

Read between the lines. He says he supports charter schools, EVEN THOUGH he is in cahoots with the teachers unions who hate charter schools. Either he got them to listen, which is highly doubtful, or he's lying out his ass to appease his fanbase.

Oh my. I just looked at your photo. Sweetie, how old are you? Do you even PAY taxes just yet?

[devangelis]

I see. Does the Messiah shoe fit too, then?

[YoungIvyScholar]

Holy shit! Am I imagining things or did Obama just start, at least pretending, to use his brain?!

[dangerousjo123]

some of you ppl need to go to a bad public school and see what everybody is talking about instead of saying how good your public school was or is back in fucking mayberry the fact is the reason the US is failing in everything is cus of the piece of shit public school system all around america not just were you fucking grew up or are growing up right now thats the whole reason of something called a charter school cus there are things that public schools are just not doing good in

The fad of charter schools will one day blow over like any other.

Twenty years from now we will be saying, "Remember skinny jeans, Uggs, and charter schools?"

I'm just sick of hearing people speak about them as the Messiah, and public schools as the Antichrist.

@devangelis Well if the Antichrist shoe fits. I'm tired of my tax dollars funding stupidity and union greed.

Atheistjeremy, try practicing your advice first. President Jimmy Carter sent his kids to public school. I guess elitist liberals get a pass in your book. Obama sends his kids to private school. Why not a charter if he thinks they are so great? What serious problems are you going to have in a public school when you have the Secret Service agents hanging over you? It's the average citizen that has to worry if their kids will be assualted in the public schools Obama has abandoned.

Some Charter Schools hava a hidden Agenda. Google search Gulen Charter Schools.

[harvey1954]

If charters are so great, Barrack, how come you don't send your own children to one? Charter schools in Philly are under investigation right and left due to the years of abuse by carpetbaggers who get rich off of public tax money.

[Atheistjeremy]

@harvey1954 Because the child of the president of the U.S. would face serious problems getting an education at a PUBLIC school. Turn on your brain and ask why that is.

Del. Norton is opposed to vouchers. "I can tell you that the Democratic Congress is not about to extend this program." House Appropriations Committee considers whether to fund the program, Norton is leading effort to block $18 mil. in scholarships. For D.C. taxpayers, this is costly. Terminating the program would pull $18 million out of the D.C. public education system & increase the burden on the school budget by sending 1,900 kids back 2 public schools. Dems want to kill vouchers. Obama?
