    how aout this one, which would you like your child to attend? a public or private school?


    Private only because the public schools are so fucked up. Fortunetly I can afford to send my kids to private school but what about people who can't. Shoulkd their children be deprived of a top notch education simply because they don't have the finacial means to send them to some private school. Come on we are so supposed to the greatest country in the world, your exact words. There is no other country out there that is better than us, again your words. Then why the hell are our damn schools so shitty.

    They took students from one of the better high schools in New Jersey, new Jersey has some of the best public schools in the country, and gave them the usual stae mandated appitude test. Then they gave the same test to students in Belgium and gues what they fucking schooled our kids. they kicked their asses in every way possible.

    well, that shows what you know. 2 degrees is HUGE.

    once again, we need snow in the winter and not rain. many times, that 2 degree difference IS the deciding factor on which we get.[/quote but your saying it as if this is gonna happen every year from now on, and it wont.

    I'm not a huge fan of unions in general, I think that they have outlived their usefulness for the most part. However, if you get rid of teachers unions totally, I think that the quality of new teachers coming out of school will greatly decrease. Unions in public schools ensure that the pay rate and benefits are high enough to attract new teachers and to retain them. I would like to make it easier to get rid of bad teachers. Tenure is not a good thing in my opinion.

    Education sucks because kids aren't grounded in reality, they live fantasy lives where personal responsibility and necessity doesn't exist.

    ?? i wouldnt go that far, i hope you are being sarcastic, i think there are alot of problems with our school system, considering the damaging effect that teachers unions have on them, that could be the biggest problem.

    No I'm serious and the problem is not teachers union. bad teachers is a small part of the problem but the big problem is how we teach our kids. I have several friends who are teachers and they have told me that school administrators tell them that from Sept - May they have to focus of getting their students to pass the state mandated aptitude test. Forget about History, Arts, Geography simply focus on reading, math, and science for the higher grades. And guess why administrators do this because if the scxhool does not produce the best possible test results their funding suffers. Thank you No Child Left Behind. Our kids don't learn they memorize what they need to know to pass some basic test and then they are pushed on to the next grade to do the same god damn thing.

    Oh yes, we've all been quite awed by your obvious high degree of education on the issue. You've been a veritable wealth of useful information.

    Same can be said about you. Time to turn of Fox News.
    i think fox news is the most reliable news network around, its the opinion shows like oreilly and hannity that are conservative slanted, if you really watch the news and take out the bush hatred in your heart you would see that all the other networks are painfully slanted to the left during their news segments, while fox news segments just tell the news, try it tonight, i dare you, i know, your probably too afraid to.

    I actually watch Fox News, as well as CNN, MSNBC, and BBC. I find Fox News to be just as slanted as MSNBC and CNN. The only reliable news source is BBC, sad how we have to depend on a foreign news source to get the story. I figured you as a Bushie right from the start but I didn't think there where still people in this country stupid enough to support him. I have no hatred for Bush I just think he is probably the worst president in modern times.

    look, i've lived here for 8 years now. in 7 of those years, we have had below average precipitation totals. we are in a drought, which may or may not have something to do with global warming. but, as i tried to explain to you before, rising temps will result in us getting less snow, no matter what. and that is not good.

    and some scientists are talking about a mega drought in the southwest...like 50 years or more. but what the fuck do they know, right?
    exactly, just like all those hurricanes that we were gonna get this year b/c of global warming, right, wait,there wasnt any hurricanes, huh....wierd.

    I think that the news hour on PBS and Washington Week are the two most unbiased news sources. The newshour is actually boring compared to the entertaining network news, but that isn't a bad thing.

    And Washington Week could be the most civil discussion on the week's political events.

    We are not even the best. What are we the best at bombing the shit out of countries. I'll give the fact that we do provide a lot of aid to other countries which is a great thing and one of the reasons this is a great country. There are students from at least 20 other countries; Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Belgium, South Korea, Japan, France, New Zealand, UK, Canada, Hungary, Switzerland, Austria, Australia, Ireland, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, and Denmark all rank better than us in Education.

    i absolutely agree, great point, no child left behind has been a nightmare, standardized testing is def not producing good results, the MCAS in massachusetts here has been a complete failure that has in turn downgraded the basics in education.
