  1. nice circle jerk going on over there
    <————————-

    You guys realize you’re just amusing/annoying yourselves at this point. A successful hijack but all the loot is gone.

  2. “personally, I think parental involvement is half
    the battle.
    The separate issue with the Education system is the
    cost. We need results with less cost.”

    So Legion – in short, I agree – better parents that make more money (pay more taxes). This is something that can’t be fixed really.

  3. rf,
    I agree, there are many public schools doing a great job.
    I’d say the best of schools in NYC are public.

    I’m getting at the solutions to the chronically underperforming schools. Obviously the formula has
    to be changed and the Teacher’s Unions should not
    become obstacles to the solution by standing by poorly performing teachers.

  4. Legion,

    The Children’s Zone gets a huge amount of outside money. They give lots and lots of support to their families outside of school and to their students inside school and that’s how they get the results they do.

  5. quote:
    It seems acceptable for the US to tell people in the developing world to stop having kids if they can’t afford them – why can’t we say the thing at home?

    ha. totally. i guess because domestically we believe in an open womb policy? there is something a little creepy about telling someone how many babies they can have tho.

    *rob*
