That's not what you said. You said "Bad schools are the norm". Got any stats on that? Because what you posted didn't have much to do with your assumption.

Oh, wait! Okay, I see, we're just going with, "because I think that". Got it

Good thing Walker just stripped out that school budget in Wisconsin (in his regular budget), even preventing local towns from getting that money back for their schools through local tax increases. No money to schools, and Walker doesn't care what your town thinks or wants to spend on your own local schools - he hereby renders you unable to do a thing about it. And good the Republicans in the House are trying to do the same. Because we need to take that money away from our overachieving schools, and give it as corporate tax breaks! Because money doesn't have anything to do with educational quality. Nope. Nothing at all. Those teachers just need themselves and students. Maybe a roof. But that's not a requirement.

This is not what I think. As I said earlier, unless kids are not as smart as they used to be. It must be, at least partially, the fault of the school system. The current curriculum in schools does not promote competition among students at a young age. Kids are pushed along and pushed along until they are so far behind they are pushed out. Graduation rates should be enough of an example. Particularly in cities where big dollars are spent.

Are you aware of the W Bush program, "No Child Left Behind"?

Well, anyway, the Republicans are cutting all the funding to schools they can, on both the federal and state levels. Enough of those greedy elite teachers, living the rich life! Good luck to us!

Jon Stewart had a funny program on this very subject the other day

And, BTW, there is evidence that students are not as smart as they could be, due to diet. But it's been determined that wanting better nutrition in our schools, as the First Lady proposes, is a communist, socialist plot. NOBODY has a right to force our schools to serve more nutritious food! This is America!
