Screw it all. Just let all the kids stay stupid. We can always hire skilled foreigners to fill jobs.

@SteveNesich Join all you want, do not ask the private sector to pay for it moron. Does WalMart tax the middle class to pay for it workers pensions? Or even pay for child molesters pensions like LA UNIFIED teachers UNION member Mark Berndt who fed 6 year girls/boys his own semen who gets his pensions for life, because the UNIONs want a piece of his payout for their own dues, & the taxpayers are left footing the bill, because the UNIONs do not give a SHIT!

@SteveNesich What racists remarks are those? Please quote me.

@SteveNesich How I wish your crony political system was profitable for anyone but those at the higher levels of it. Sadly I'm only a product of the defunct educational system that you profess so loudly and ignorantly. How about actually learning about what it is you're talking about before spewing feces from your mouth?

[SteveNesich]

@UCSDEngineerDoctor And, your racist remarks are clear too. Why don't you stop hiding behind your Internet identity and tell us who you are, racist?

[SteveNesich]

@UCSDEngineerDoctor Well, at least you're coming clean about your real objective. "Educational Reform" my butt; your agenda is to replace well trained and dedicated professionals with "teachers" that cost no more than your average Walmart worker and who can be fired at will, anytime, for any reason.

You just hate the idea of working people joining together to improve their pay and working conditions. Don't you, Mr. "EngineerDoctor"

[SteveNesich]

@daPlumber702 "daPlumber" appears to be a shill, on the payroll of one of the many billionaires that are funding this "educational reform" movement.

Funny how the private schools they send their kids to are run 180 degrees different from what they advocate for the other 99% of society. Yet, some people are so used to bowing and scraping whenever a rich person speaks...it's pathetic.

[SteveNesich]

@daPlumber702 "Waiting for Superman" was propaganda, similar to the "Educational Films" produced in the former USSR. Most people who have looked at it closely can see what a fabrication most of it is.

However, there are some naive types who eat this up with a spoon, mainly because they've been taught to detest anyone who teaches our children. Is that you, possibly?

@dreamihad It's more to it than that. The worst schools may be in inner cities, but the predominately white suburban kids are also lagging behind the kids in other industrialized countries as well. Some of the schools in many rural areas are bad off too.

@dreamihad As an individual who grew up in a dysfunctional home (substance abusing father and church fanatic mother), I can agree with your statement, to an extent. However, I was lucky enough to attend magnet schools from K-12. The teachers believed in me where my parents had no energy or focus to help me. I am the only person in my immediate family to graduate from high school. I now have a bachelor's degree, and, one day, I'll get a master's. I think ANY good mentor is worthwhile.
