ReplyThank you for supporting REAL education opportunities, which are NOT takeover schools. While I was dealing with a student shooting himself in our bathroom, the Republican legislators were putting a shot through public education, and hence my inner core as an educator. How dare they think they can cure what ills our kids by closing their school and sitting them in front of a computer. When will they start listening to teachers as professionals, and provide us with resources and opportunity. We need the community behind us, we need community schools to deal with problems these kids bring with them and stand in the way of their learning. We need the state behind us to help these kids in so many ways, beyond what they can ever know about or legislate about.

ReplyThere are reasons why they'll do it cheaper, and you know it, or else you wouldn't keep ragging on the issue. Those things are not what holds people up, it's what cheapens us and you know it. Until then, the future will have the last word Joe...

ReplyThat's where we differ Joe, public schools are not businesses, nor should charter schools be disguised as such when using my tax dollars. Open a for-profit charter as a school which has no new ideas, but just exists for the purpose of being a "school" and I call that a private school, where you are free to send your child if you pay for it. Rather, there are now public dollars being taken from "regular" schools who are having trouble offering the same services, then, it starts a trend/ a domino effect...hey, let's go to the charter...to the online school, etc...(where we can get things because there are fewer legacy costs, etc...which is another whole story...) Then, many of those students return, many of the students find out that cyber schools are not the best choice, but by then it's too late, the funding went to a for-profit charter. I feel we need to invest in the community schools we have, stop trying to sell-out to the lowest bidder and really allow each school to address it's unique needs. While schools are not businesses, I think I can try to equate it with the decline of the local business man...when "Lowe's" moves in, "Bob's Hardware" has a hard time providing the same quaint, local services, sure we consumers get stuff cheaper, but how's the quality and service?

ReplyLet's compare a business' profits and my "profits" as an educator. Tell me who needs the tax break more? Colbeck chooses to say the tax is a burden for businesses, at the expense of police, fire, teachers, services, way of life for people. Pretty clear to me who and what he supports. Gee, I hope the businesses hire some security guards, and turn some parking lots into parks, and has a great sprinkler system, trains their own employees...wink wink
