They want to abolish public education. That's the campaign, that's the plan.

2. Yep. That is the plan.

And has been for a while.

3. People like this

Are in the pocket of the charter school industry. He has every intention of running the public schools through the mud and stripping them of every resource they have.

5. Taught in both public and charter schools

I've taught in both Public and charter high school. I thought that my charter school experience was pretty good, until I got a job in a well run High school in a well resourced District that has awesome colleagues and both departmental and district co-planning and curriculum development. When I look back at how and what I taught as the only Chemistry teacher at the charter school, compared to the lessons I teach now in my public high school...it's sobering. There I taught from a text book. Now I teach using activities to try to get students to derive answers to fundamental questions. At my current HS, the AVERAGE student graduates with 6 AP classes under their belt. At the charter school we could offer only 1 or 2 AP science courses; at my current school, we offer 5 AP science courses and 4 additional elective courses where students can earn college credit at the same time as earning HS credits. Maybe we're more the exception than the rule, but I don't know how a charter school would muster the resources to be able to offer the same experience.

4. There's a discussion about The Music Man going on that dovetails well with this.

The parallels are eerie.

6. They should just admit that the only things they want taught in schools are the Bible and

marksmanship.

7. Mama Doctor Jones did a video a few weeks ago about a school board deciding to ban her videos

She's a board certified OB-GYN who makes light-hearted, scientifically informed and pretty tame YouTube videos about pregnancy and sexual health. Teachers at a school district in Alaska were proposing to use as supplemental curriculum.

Some of the people on the school board hit the roof and called the teachers on the carpet to berate them for wanting to teach kids about Plan B and anything other than abstinence-only. So she did a commentary video on the school board meeting pointing out how absurd it is that middle-aged men think they know more about what kids need to know about sexual health than a board certified doctor.

The video is a perfect example of the mindset of many people attacking schools today ("In my heart I just feel it's wrong" when all their arguments have been shot down). It's really sobering that these kinds of decisions are being made in some areas by people who are dumber than a bag of hammers but are sure they know everything.

12. She's great, unlike the yahoos who are trying to take any...

mentions of sex or reproduction out of our schools.

Have tbe yahoos put tbat magnifying glass on biology classes?

Like pirates?

Why would they want an uneducated, unhealthy populace? Who would clean their homes, and fight their wars?

Too many questions.

[Nevilledog]

9. No...smuggled, like dirty liberals bringing in books on science & history

10. I have it on good authority that Florida schools teach math with ARABIC NUMBERS!!!!!

[LastDemocratInSC]

14. That's a scandal! What's wrong with good old plain American numbers?
