• Welcome to the moral party

    "When I decided to stand up on behalf of disadvantaged children in support of school choice, my Democrat colleagues didn’t stand by me," Mainor told Fox News Digital.

    She added that members of her former party "crucified" and "abandoned" her and that it was a "moral" decision.

    "For decades, the Democrat Party has received the support of more than 90 percent of the black community," Mainor said. "And what do we have to show for it? I represent a solidly blue district in the city of Atlanta. This isn’t a political decision for
    me. It’s a moral one."

    So "school vouchers" equals "moral"? There are parents of special needs children who have a different perspective.

    Special needs children education can be addressed through vouchers without having to turn every other kid into a special needs adult.

    They typically don't address those needs. Public schools have to take
    everyone while private schools don't.

    And we certainly don't need every private school to offer such accommodations. Since most of you woke ass dufus' are childless, the number of special needs children is

    I didn't say there were no private schools that accommodate special needs.

    And we certainly don't need every private school to offer such accommodations.
    And we don't need the government to subsidize private schools that don't.

    You don't understand....we're not subsidizing private schools, we're subsidizing parents and students.
    So they can send their kids to private schools.

    and many of those private schools are making a profit for providing better results.
    there is not a thing in the world wrong with that.

    the point is to educate our children. Failure is not an option.
    Particularly in minority and disadvantaged communities.

    How is it zero sum if some of more kids actually learn what they are supposed to learn,
    go on to college, or find success in other types of careers, other than being pimps, drug addicta ,
    drug dealers, or gangsta thugs?

    you are assuming that if some go to private schools, and advance, the ones remaining will
    drop to lower levels, resulting in an unchanged mean average, The problem
    with that way of thinking us that in places like BAltimore there are many schools
    where grade proficiency ias alraedy at zero. It can't get any lower than that they are at ROCK BOTTOM, right now.
    The only paths are upward, or status quo.

    you want everyone to be at the status quo of 100% failure. You can't bear the thought
    that some might succeed and elevate themselves while other would get left behind,
    Because it's not fair, not equal, and fairness and equity is the only thing that matters to you, even if
    fairness is at a horribly low level. That is the "utopian" dream of Marxist Socialists such as you.

    Failed urban schools are YOUR legacy.

    So, you are advocating busing. Back to busing. Electric of course.
    Preferably yellow, to keep Kamala happy.

    Of course you remember white flight,
    White suburban parents weren't enamored of sending their
    kids to failing inner city schools.
    Black urban parents are no less happy that their kids
    are trapped there.

    so what do you do? instead of keeping black kids trapped in urban failed schools,
    and instead of private school vouchers which you abhor, just bus them to suburban schools,
    a one way busing black urban kids in, white suburban kids stay where they are?

    comes out.

    Of course you remember white flight,
    White suburban parents weren't enamored of sending their

    No, they wanted to avoid mixing with minorities, leaving their schools
    to decline.

    are trapped there.

    They're doing this in Dallas:

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/aug/04/dallas-school-system-white-flight

    Solar Prep and other Transformation Schools in Dallas have no attendance boundaries. Students are admitted by lottery, with some seats open to
    families who live outside of the school district. But Solar Prep for
    Girls is one of 13 Transformation Schools that uses a special enrollment formula: half of the students admitted must live in one of Dallas’s socioeconomically disadvantaged census blocks, while the other half are
    drawn from more affluent areas. The district provides transportation to students within its boundaries.

    As a group, these 50/50 schools draw thousands of applicants and have
    proven so popular that the district plans to open 11 more over the next
    three years, including two that will open when school resumes on 15 August.

    “I’m Caucasian and I grew up in a lower socioeconomic group, so I know
    that color does not equate to income, but in Dallas, our hypothesis was
    that we were going to get some diversity,” McKinnon said. “We got lucky with Solar and haven’t looked back.”

    The demographic breakdown at Solar Prep for Girls, where McKinnon’s
    daughters Elizabeth and Vivienne attend first and second grade,
    respectively, is 20% white, 17% Black and 52% Hispanic.

    The district sees this half-and-half enrollment approach as one way to eliminate pockets of concentrated poverty and slow down enrollment declines.

    “The city of Dallas is so segregated that, by using the 50/50 model, we
    can easily achieve racially diverse schools,” said Nancy Bernardino, a co-founder of Solar Prep for Girls. “We can’t admit by race, but this approach has given us that opportunity.”

    When did I do that? If you're proposing it, I'm willing to see how it
    comes out.
    Of course you remember white flight,
    White suburban parents weren't enamored of sending their
    kids to failing inner city schools.
    No, they wanted to avoid mixing with minorities, leaving their schools
    to decline.
    Black urban parents are no less happy that their kids
    are trapped there.

    so what do you do? instead of keeping black kids trapped in urban failed schools,
    and instead of private school vouchers which you abhor, just bus them to suburban schools,
    a one way busing black urban kids in, white suburban kids stay where they are?
    They're doing this in Dallas:

    Fine
    But its not the same thing.

    No, it doesn't work for a number of reasons.
    Ideological driven policies
    Top heavy administration.
    lack of accountability
    social promotions of failing students
    lack of discipline
    social problems in the community such as the breakdown of family, absent fathers, drug addiction, gangs, bad parenting.

    Baltimore City schools have a high cost per student, on par with other metropolitan areas such as New York City. However, this money isn’t
    equally distributed to schools in the system, and, unlike in New York, a significant portion (34%) of the budget goes to caring for homeless or economically disadvantaged youth through an allotment called the
    compensatory budget. If we break this funding down at the school level,
    the $21,606 per student figure that Fox45 relies on tells a different
    story. To get its number, Fox takes the school system’s entire $1.6
    billion budget and divides by the total number of students in the city
    system. The amount actually spent per student is much lower...

    Not only are the Baltimore City Schools underfunded by thousands of
    dollars, but over a third of the money goes to survival services for
    students. This expenditure is missing or minimal in the budgets of the
    high performing schools, meaning more money can be spent on Advanced
    Placement, International Baccalaureate or other specialized programs.

    End quote.

    When private schools have to spend 34% on "survival services" they'll
    seem less lean, not to mention return-to-investor costs in for-profit
    schools.

    No, your framing is incorrect. The duty to accept all students doesn't prevent other from getting a better education.

    No one said "everybody should suffer equally." That's an common mistake about Marxism, btw.

    It's the RESULT, not the call

    Sorry, you're just moving the goalposts and arguing by reading the URL
    but not following the link. Marxism doesn't result in equality of
    outcome either.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_of_outcome

    *Conflation with Marxism, socialism and communism*

    ...the real content of the proletarian demand for equality is the demand
    for the abolition of classes. Any demand for equality which goes beyond
    that, of necessity, passes into absurdity.
    — Frederick Engels, "Anti-Dühring" (1877)

    The German economist and philosopher Karl Marx and his collaborator
    Frederick Engels are sometimes mistakenly characterized as egalitarians,
    and the economic systems of socialism and communism are sometimes
    misconstrued as being based on equality of outcome. In reality, both
    Marx and Engels eschewed the entire concept of equality as an abstract
    and idealistic bourgeois aspiration, focusing their analysis on more
    concrete issues such as the laws of motion of capitalism and
    exploitation based on economic and materialist logic. Marx renounced
    theorizing on moral concepts and refrained from advocating principles of justice. Marx's views on equality were informed by his analysis of the development of the productive forces in society.

    ...In Marxist theory, communism is based on a principle whereby access
    to goods and services is based on free and open access (often referred
    to as distribution based on one's needs); Marx stressed free access to
    the articles of consumption.[18] Hence the "equality" in a communist
    society is not about total equality or equality of outcome, but about
    equal and free access to the articles of consumption.[19] Marx argued
    that free access to consumption would enable individuals to overcome alienation.

    Abstract

    Anecdotal evidence indicates that people believe that morality is
    declining. In a series of studies using both archival and original data (n = 12,492,983), we show that people in at least 60 nations around the world believe that morality is declining, that they have believed this
    for at least 70 years and that they attribute this decline both to the decreasing morality of individuals as they age and to the decreasing
    morality of successive generations. Next, we show that people’s reports
    of the morality of their contemporaries have not declined over time,
    suggesting that the perception of moral decline is an illusion. Finally,
    we show how a simple mechanism based on two well-established
    psychological phenomena (biased exposure to information and biased
    memory for information) can produce an illusion of moral decline, and we
    report studies that confirm two of its predictions about the
    circumstances under which the perception of moral decline is attenuated, eliminated or reversed (that is, when respondents are asked about the
    morality of people they know well or people who lived before the
    respondent was born). Together, our studies show that the perception of
    moral decline is pervasive, perdurable, unfounded and easily produced.
    This illusion has implications for research on the misallocation of
    scarce resources, the underuse of social support and social influence.

    Then why does it bug you so much? If no one is teaching it, then no one is learning it.

    It is implemented by administrators as a method of management.

    "Marxism is a social, political, and economic philosophy named after the 19th-century
    German philosopher and economist Karl Marx. His work examines the historical effects
    of capitalism on labor, productivity, and economic development, and argues that a worker
    revolution is needed to replace capitalism with a communist system."

    So it's your Sacklish contention that school administrators far and wide are [ahem]
    "implementing marxism as a method of management"? Sorry, but that's just word salad.

    https://viva.pressbooks.pub/foundationsofamericaneducation/chapter/chapter-3/

    The term "marxism" is notably absent from this text. Without a smart rap on the snout,
    the Sackturd will not learn from the mess it makes.

    No

    WIKI

    "A foundation course is a preparatory course for university-level art and design education, used particularly in the United Kingdom.

    Description
    A foundation course is a one or two-year preparatory course for school-leavers who want to qualify for a place on a bachelor's degree course in art, design or architecture. The course is almost entirely practical in nature, although increasingly elements
    of art and design history have been introduced, and it is considered sufficient to qualify those who pass it to move on to a degree course without further study. It is the dominant form of entry to university and art college degree courses in the United
    Kingdom, but versions of it exist in several other countries, particularly where British influence over art education has been historically strong. "


    You're claiming a economic philosophical system is an educational
    "method of management" based on a misunderstanding of "equality of outcome."

    You are saying that philosophical systems have no practical applications.
    That is nonsense.

    BTW, here is my educational foundation:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Books_programs_in_Canada

    Though in the US, not in Canada

    "Great Books programs in Canada are university/college programs inspired by the Great Books movement begun in the United States in the 1920s. The aim of such programs is to return to the Western Liberal Arts tradition in education. Those who mount such
    programs consider them to be corrective of what they perceive to be an extreme disciplinary specialisation common within the academy.

    The essential component of such programs is a high degree of engagement with the Western canon of whole primary texts deemed to be essential for a student's education. The canon includes books such as Plato's Republic and Dante's Divine Comedy. Great
    Books programs often focus exclusively on Western culture. Their employment of primary texts dictates an interdisciplinary approach, as most of the Great Books do not fall neatly under the scope of a single contemporary academic discipline.

    Great Books programs often include designated discussion groups as well as lectures, and have small class sizes. Students in these programs usually receive an abnormally high degree of attention from their professors, as part of the overall aim of
    fostering a community of learning."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimer_Great_Books_School

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimer_College_Core_Program

    "The Shimer College Core Program is a curriculum sequence of 16 required courses in humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and interdisciplinary studies. "Basic Studies" courses are generally taken during the first two years, and "Advanced Studies"
    during the final two years. The "Advanced Integrative Studies" courses, numbered are taken in the final year.[1]

    In addition to required core classes, electives offer in-depth work in a particular subject, or basic skills instruction. Tutorials follow a similar protocol, but with only one or two students per course, and are similar in structure to the Oxford-
    Cambridge supervision system.[2]

    Pedagogy
    Small seminars are sole form of instruction. Classes are composed of no more than twelve students, and read and discuss only original source material.[3]

    Through a process Shimer internally calls "shared inquiry", "the text is the teacher, and thus the faculty member's role is to facilitate interaction between the text and the students",[4]as well as between the students themselves. Readings are also
    organized by broad historical and philosophical themes, rather than conventional fields.

    Faculty are always addressed by first name. Teachers "facilitate" discussion, and therefore may talk little during actual class-time. Often teachers provide historical and relational information not available from other students or the text itself."

    Note the comparison to Oxford.
    I also spent a year studying at Oxford University

    Hillsdale is NOT an enemy of knowledge. It is the enemy of Marxist woke progressivism.

    Shimer was similar to St John's. Not as stridently classic.
    I think that at St.John's one had to learn Greek.

    I'm willing to change that to "Hillsdale is an enemy of education."

    Hillsdale hosted Ruffo who created the moral panic to which you refer.
    He spoke about it publically. He is a propagandist.

    With such a classics emphasis, I wouldn't be surprised if they had that requirement in the past.

    and allow the failing schools to really fail and disappear...forever.

    Choice and competition are possible in the public school system. See the example from Dallas mentioned earlier.

    Don't let the propaganda fool you....it's where they house
    the disruptors and repeat violators. It's "programs" are 90%
    home school and classrooms are little more than detention
    centers.

    I guess you can call that "taking everyone".
    That's exactly what it means. They can't be turned away. In
    this case, a special program is necessary to give them a
    chance.

    By removing disruptors from the classroom, it actually gives the
    serious students the chance to succeed.

    The disruptors really aren't interested in any more chances. They
    have no skin in their own education.
    Until they do. That program might give them the chance to change
    their ways.

    I'm going to start a charter school. We'll bus your kids to mexico
    where we can make sure they will behave. It's like the booming mexico
    detox and rehab business where druggies can't "check themselves
    out". I'll bet there are a lot of frustrated parents out there who
    appreciate a more rigorously disciplined educational environment.

    Hey! Just as I said in my previous reply.

    And keep the state $$ for a warm seat. F'ing joke.
    So? Art would have them take a voucher to a no-show charter that would
    also "keep the state $$ for a warm seat" if they take them at all.

    Why would a parent put their kid in such a school?
    When there's a chance to finish public school with a diploma?

    Bingo.....Stephen stumbles upon why a bunch of high school grads
    can't pass a teachers exam.

    The root cause isn't the exam....it's at school and at home.

    No warehousing....they will learn. And they will learn pride in learning.

    Yes, successful NYC teachers with satisfactory evaluations and master's
    degrees are recruited from alternative high schools.

    The root cause isn't the exam....it's at school and at home.

    Maybe the relevance of Gertrude Stein to classroom teaching is the problem.

    She was a big influence to Kamala Harris

    "The minute you or anybody else knows what you are you are not it, you are what you or anybody else knows you are and as everything in living is made up of finding out what you are it is extraordinarily difficult really not to know what you are and yet
    to be that thing."
