SayAnythingBlog.com : 78% Of Americans Think It Should Be Easier To Fire Teachers

I want to send my children to a private school that costs more than a voucher can accommodate, and that I can afford. What are my choices then? What happens to public schools when the money is removed? Do you understand what you are asking?

The article you provided only speaks to costs of "running" a charter school. It doesn't address the costs of tuition for the "private schools of my choice". Further, your article only talks about the costs of running, as it relates to how much public assistance it gets, but doesn't look at other types of funding, such as grants.

Though he rightly points out that charter schools typically use private grants to supplement the public funds they receive (the budget office report looked only at public funding), the influence of philanthropic giving on charter school budgets is exaggerated. A recent analysis of publicly reported documents by Kim Gittleson found that the average charter school in the city received about $1,656 per pupil in philanthropic funds in 2009.

I just showed you that charter schools are currently run for significantly less than private schools with better results.

First, that doesn't speak to sending a child to a private school..OF MY CHOICE. Second, no, you didn't. You showed that running a smaller enterprise costs less, compared to a large one. It's costs more to "run" microsoft than it costs to "run" a small software developer, but that doesn't speak to "tuition costs". Do you understand the difference? Once the smaller charter schools start seeing the level of students the larger ones do, their costs will also go up. Not to mention you haven't shown the tuition of a charter school, vs. public school. You are just mixing statements and colluding the conversation because you don't understand what you are actually saying.

Rob's unsophisticated "solution" would spread costs around to schools that would be flooded with children they couldn't afford to prepare for, and the minimum monies from a "voucher" would not cover the costs, and subsequently, all schools will suffer. It's better to leave private schools alone, and let those who can afford them pay, as well as leaving the public school system in tact. Parents need to parent their children, that's half our problem in our school system.

See! You didn't understand your own statement. How is a voucher going to fund the cost of sending my children to a private school....OF MY CHOICE? You didn't even understand your own statement. My point is that the cost, per child, is significantly less to send to public school vs. private. ESPECIALLY when you are forced to pay with a "voucher". The cost of sending your child to a charter or private school of my choice is going to exceed the cost to send them to public school...so a "voucher" is insufficient as a solution.

More likely that you didn't understand your own comment.

Give the money to parents, in the form of a voucher, and let them decide which schools get the money.

Explain how a voucher is even remotely feasible, when costs for private school, far and away exceed the costs of public school. If you knew anything about infrastructure, and what it costs to build, maintain, and facilitate a school that can accomplish it's task, you would know that a "voucher" won't cover the costs, as the two products have different costs. You are in over your head.

Provide an example how they spend lots of money, with no accountability!! Ever sold anything to a school or university? I have. I can tell you that the "bureaucratic process" ensures they pay low prices due to the procurement requirement of putting out bids to "super quote" or the online systems designed for each state/region. You have been challenged to support your statement with facts. Lets see if you are up to the challenge.

You couldn't afford to send your kids to a private school. It's $1,300-$1,500 a month just to send a child to Catholic or private school.....and that's just for kindergarten. That's most average Americans mortgage, or rent. How are parents going to afford that if they have two or three children? You can't fix things by screwing them up, more so, with your simple minded platitudes and logic. You are not a problem solver Port; you are a parrot who can't understand complex issues.

...you would like to hijack this thread by talking about anything other than the poor performance of BO.. - Proof_positively_stupid

There is NO valid critique of anything Obama has done in this thread. Your criticisms are pure hatred of a black man. That is evidenced by the contrast you made from a white democratic President to a black democratic president. Your racism is so much a part of your regular thinking, that you are incapable of hiding the mental aspect of it, while you go about masking the verbiage aspect of common racist terms, believing that is all that reveals or determines racism. This is your fundamental problem Proof. You are only capable of seeing words, you are incapable of going deeper, beyond the black and white words on a screen. You fail to understand the meaning of words and the context of words that you put together in a sentence. Context is your worst enemy, because in every instance your hatred for black people is revealed in your critiques where the white person is always better than the black person who does the same exact thing. We saw this with the following posts: Obama vs. Clinton The black women flag-like wavers vs. the white women abusing the actual American flag. The black professor vs. the white police man. On and on and on. You can't hide your racism, because you always fail to cover your thoughts (actions), as they are exposed by the context of your over the top and dishonest/racist criticisms of blacks.

mikeymc, when you are smart enough to understand past tense vs. present, get back to me. Until then, I am dismissing you as the moron you are. BTW, notice how Proof blogs 24/7....how does he do that and pretend he works for a living?

In your dreams! You can't make a logical counter argument to my logical critique. Instead, you ignore the very real contrast Proof created from the white president, to the black one, even though it was dishonest....the only real difference in Proof's mind, is skin color. If Proof can intelligently make an argument why Clinton is more competent of a president from a policy perspective, I can let this go. But he won't and can't bring himself to do it. Mostly because the only difference Proof can identity, comes from his stomach. He's emotional and his racist emotions tell him to hate the black man more, even though he has NO valid reason. There is NOTHING in this video that even remotely validates his emotional argument.

No, you said he looked "presidential" when you compared him standing next to Obama. Again, it reveals your white vs. black mentality. You can feel free to compliment Clinton, right now. Go ahead and show us where you feel Clinton made good policy. What policy did Clinton make that was good, in your mind? ' You see, you can't say anything, because you can't bring yourself to compliment a Democrat. You only pretend to claim Clinton is "mildly competent" in order to falsely contrast him to Obama, the black president you hate, because of his race.

I agree. It just isn't as noticeable how weak and how bad a president Obama is when side by side with someone even mildly competent. - PROOFoundly_stupid_and_racist

There are several problems with your critique and limited intellect, Flamer. 1) I don't criticize every Obama attack or post. Some of them are fair and legitimate criticisms of policy and the public's reaction to it. This one, has no teeth, and is nothing more than hatred for the black president, as demonstrated by the contras Proof shows for Clinton, a president he usually despises. 2) As outlined in my analysis, Proof has demonstrated a contrast from a white Democrat president to a black democrat president, without a correct or even an attempt to break down the factual differences between the two. Instead, his criticism are childish attempts at displaying hatred and partisanship. 3) The criticisms of Obama are in line, and logically follow the criticism racists used to call black males, "boy". The criticism in this instance is only based on racism, as racism is the only logical explanation, absent any valid criticism of Obama, despite the defense seen by those who regularly defend racists.

That is not my argument! You are lying again in an attempt to pretend you have a defense. Here is my argument, that has been posted over a dozen times, because you refuse to deal with it, honestly.

They are totally the same, when you look at the context Poofy created. Three pieces of racism on this post alone....definitely racist. And when a guy stands behind the Rebel flag, and believes the Civil War was not fought over slavery, he has no honesty...and is never taken seriously. 1) The black president is not qualified; the white president is 2) The black president is a little boy and robot; the white president is presidential 3) The black president is incapable; the white president is capable and has to take over for him. RACIST.

Even in this thread you reveal your partisan hatred for Clinton. We can determine your dishonesty by asking you to explain how competent and well you thought Clinton performed as president, or simply by reading your critique of him in this very thread. Please describe how well he performed as a President (no stupid jokes from you please).

There's nothing to this criticism. Therefore, you have to look at the motive behind it. You think you are being cute, I'm going deeper than looking at the hateful message. You can ignore it, just as you do everything else. It's your choice in life to be ignorant.

So you admit it looks good, but you just believe what you do because of talk radio, or some stupid thing you heard of Fox News? Oh well, at least you are honest, in this post. You should remember that if at first you don't succeed.....well...then again...maybe you never succeeded?

There is no credible criticism of Obama in this post. This entire post is nothing but a hateful attempt to express Poofy's hatred for the black man in office. That's obvious by the context of Poofy's made up claim and choice of words.
