I realize your post is almost 2 years old, however if you do read this I have a question for you. I live in Lancaster, PA and have been looking into CSA's. I was so sadly surprised at the cost of things like chicken breast and whole fryers (albeit organic and humanely raised), my question is WHY so expensive? I want to be able to justify the cost and maybe if I understood what is involved in raising and feeding chickens the right way...too be happy as you put it, I could. Thanks.
Dear Ms. Sibilia - Do you really think that bankrupting the system would not have a major disruptive effect on inner city children? Do you really think a corp of 20 somethings from private schools and advantageous backgrounds (ie - yourself) are really capable of carry the teaching load versus professionals with decades of experience - actual skin in the game? Or are your educational theories simply a reflection on your faith in corporatism and its axiomatic greed ethic?
You represent the worst kind of charlatan modern American society can produce ... a sophomoric know-it-all who can't be bothered asking those older and wiser than you. Your's is a gamblers approach - but unlike Silicon Valley, the inventory that remains from your flawed model isn't left-over products, its children ... flesh and blood, with souls ... who won't have mommy and daddy to turn to for options B,C, D, and E ... just a lifetime of pain picking up the tab for your hubris. May God have mercy on your soul - should your 'ideas' ever turn into policy - assuming you have a soul/spirit to begin with.
Oh, this is just great. First Ohio deliberately manipulates its charter school data in order to make it look considerably better than it is, then they win the lottery prize of taxpayer dollars. The lesson to voters and citizens is: you cheat, you win. Thank you very much, Arne Duncan and the federal Dept. of Education.
They are actively involved in ALEC and ABC is the chairman emeritus of ALEC's corporate board and it is also the co-chair of ALEC's ACCE (city and county effort), although one of the guys recently moved over to one of the big bail bond insurance companies. They are also involved in ALEC's "reform" initiative, which could result in more profits for the bail bond industry through getting in on supervised release of non-violent offenders released early from prison with the over-incarceration crisis caused by ALEC's crime policy agenda for more than two decades. So, to answer your question, this is not a non-story.
