  • Reply to: CMD Publishes List of Closed Charter Schools (with Interactive Map)   9 years 2 months ago
    Take a fixed pot of money, bring in high priced administration, siphon off corporate profit, and at the end of the day children receive a better education because government can't do anything right? Charter schools are not, and never were, anything but a scam designed to put public money into private pockets.

    Headline writer take note: The tenses of the verb sink are sink, sank, sunk. So the gramatically correct headline for this story is "Four Whoppers that Sank Scott Walker." Sank is past tense, sunk is past participle. Scott Walker was sunk by four whoppers. They sank him.

    This is alarming! Can we not understand that Charter expansion is another huge ploy by the very wealthy to control education, the most important factor besides health care in this country? What do these billionaires know about what takes place in an educator’s job to inspire young people to find that passion to have a fulfilling life? The outrageous , No Child Left Behind, blindly followed by Race to the Top, line the pockets of so many corporations with all the “pre-tests” and “tests” purchased by the school districts. Meanwhile, educators no longer have time in their robotic day for creative instruction including art, music, hands on projects, dialoging with the students, engaging in critical thinking instruction. The total demise of vocational classes for this One Size Fits All teaching to declare that test scores determine achievement and student success is abhorrent! We are getting closer to the brink of an oligarchy, very, very frightening.

    Faye just did exactly what Berman lists. Sounds like the trolls are trolling CMD (no, we're not surprised). Berman is attacking Chipotle because people like Jack-in-the-Box pay him to. That's the worst evil: getting paid for it. Good thing Kharma's a bitch.

    Four of the 6 members of GAB members were appointed by Scott Walker. Have we ever known him to appoint anyone to anything who had a drop of Democratic blood in them? Perhaps one of those 4 he appointed was a Democrat at some time but I doubt it. Two of the judges were appointed by Doyle. However both of them ran for office and were elected as Republicans. One was a Republican District Attorney in Dane County and the other was a Republican legislator from Eau Claire County.
