Why bring it here? Only to allow privatization vultures a shot at the money.<br /><br />This is a real problem for all people who are parents. No matter how you feel about Milwaukee Public Schools, are you planning on writing off communities of kids due to circumstances not of their own making? I'm hoping I can count on the state to make this stop.<br /><br />From what I see the plan is to starve these schools into oblivion. After that the kids are "free" to go to for profit schools that don't use licensed teachers, are not accountable to anyone, and send kids out into the world without a basic education. Ask people you know about some of these "choice" schools in the city. It's pathetic.<br /><br />http://wtaq.com/news/articles/2012/nov/09/gov-walker-state-aid-to-schools-may-be-tied-to-student-performance/iffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251162349009528960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-26225467293446958542012-11-13T23:08:05.767-06:002012-11-13T23:08:05.767-06:00Leftyblogs might have their server on the east coa...Leftyblogs might have their server on the east coast and is having problems due to the damage from Hurricane Sandy.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-77316204972041453402012-11-13T19:24:34.529-06:002012-11-13T19:24:34.529-06:00Great article, Jeff.

Been seeing Cognitive dissidence again for a few days. <br />November 6th happened, mostly to my satisfaction. But what's happened to Lefty Blogs? That's been down since a couple days prior to the election.<br />Will write a response in the next day or so, but in the meantime, I'm under fire with the the locals.<br />Take care!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-34700493794948740572012-11-13T15:46:04.576-06:002012-11-13T15:46:04.576-06:00I'm a Hoosier.

Indiana has a HORRIBLE education system and with the election of the Tea Party extremist Mike Pence to the governorship, it's going to get a LOT worse here. Of course, the dumber the population, the more likely they are to vote Republican.<br /><br />Watch Indiana! Watch what unfolds here. Let us be the Bad Example. <br /><br />Indiana is the ONLY state in the Midwest to go for Romney... and we are in the bottom ten states in the Union when it comes to citizens with a college education. And now we've just elected a guy who has NO intention of making a good public education a priority.<br /><br />Watch what unfolds here in the Hoosier state. Let it be a warning about what happens when Republicans and (worse) Tea Party politicians have control.<br /><br />I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if there also follows gerrymandering and voter suppression laws. And our citizens are certainly not going to get a better education!<br /><br />Watch us and learn.<br /><br />At least we defeated Richard Mourdock and didn't subject that lunatic on the nation. ::: sigh :::LghtnBolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513477876170815861noreply@blogger.com
