Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders delivers Republican response to Biden's SOTU:

Have you ever been to the poorer hoods my guess is no. And you still did not answer how we fund this
Yes I've lived in the poorer hoods .
Yes I work in some of the poorest hoods on the east coast most run by democrats... for the last 100 years... that says a lot .
We simply fund it by dividing the money spent on public schools. Pretty simple really take money from a failing system and try something new .

So have public funds to fund a private system. Nope not a good idea. What could go wrong
 
Why not separate the bad apples?
Wouldn't you get more cream to rise to the top ? I truly believe we have a untouched highly intelligent group of kids in poorer hoods that don't get a fair chance to display themselves in our current public school system. I don't think it's more money I think it's a coddling problem. I believe some of those kids would prosper in smaller schools.
But that argument destroys your previous argument. Separating the "bad apples" doesn't improve education. Pretty simple to understand.

Regardless of how much time or effort someone puts in, some will never improve. If you or I spend 10 hours per day training to shoot a basketball or hit a baseball, does that mean we will become the greatest? Nope.

Major tax breaks for parents who send kids to private schools and deduct the loss from the public school system. Pretty simple really
So you are basically saying that public school teachers aren't as good as private? Because that's what it is sounding like. What do you think will happen in these private schools once they start getting the "bad apples" (your words, not mine) and their test scores?

No it does not . I'm not talking about separation of those trying as best they can they are not a problem even though they will never be a Rhode scholar .
I'm talking about separation of those who won't try . Kids going to private schools will try harder they have skin in the game . Sorta like people living free off the government they don't take care of the homes they are given cause they don't pay for them
 
Well I can see that reasoning is not your strength. Watch the republican response last night it was about division that is not gaslighting its fact. And McCarthy has left the far right run his party. He gave away the candy store for a few a$$holes
Tell me the policies of the “far right”. I did watch. Neither speech was unifying. You all saying that Biden’s was, doesn’t make it so. And frankly, as radical as the left has become in their positions, I don’t want to work with them. I want to stop you all on every front.

No I'm not comparing public teachers to private. Would create good competition and bragging rights ... competition in education would be a great thing . Private schools can kick the bad apples out easier.
On the teacher aspect, I believe private school teachers make less and have less of a pension plan ( could be wrong) I think a lot teach private so they don't have to deal with the bullshit of unions and get more freedom in the way they teach again could be wrong.

Who has a union. I would love to have a teachers Union God yes please. And who has freedoms in the way they teach?????? Ask the Florida teachers if they feel that way. And if you are a private school teacher the parents are your boss. No thanks not wanting to work for those people

A quick Google and I found a pew research center grades 1 -12 out of 71 countries we ranked 38th in math and 24 in science that sound pretty good?
I'm very glad every child has a equal opportunity to get a education and have zero problems with paying taxes for it . I have zero problems with teachers making more money . I can't copy and paste the article, but we are behind countries like Portugal, really?
Like it or not our education system has become way to cultural and less about what matters.
I truly believe school vouchers would help fix the problem if for no other reasons than smaller class size .
I guess math and facts are cultural?
 
Where is that $$$$$$ coming from to build these buildings??????? How will you fund building 10-20-30 more private schools for an area????? How will you staff that building?? How will you provide transportation to those buildings?? Will you provide breakfast and lunch?? Will you have afterschool activities????? Will there be a plan for special needs kids????
In most cases of Private schools, they are started through donations and loans, because they’re a service providing business. They develop and are sustained through tuition and endowments. The tuition to attend these schools also covers most what you’re referencing, though, as I’ve discovered, there are a lot of additional costs for specific teams. To give context, my kid’s average class size is about 12-14 per. Tuition is about $24k per kid a year. We’re not the top tier private school in the area, of which, there are about 20 private high schools, some are coed, some aren’t. They all range between 95-100% college acceptance rate, in many cases, the kids begin University with 2 years of college knocked out.

Extracurriculars are top tier, only runner up to club for soccer and lacrosse. Everything else is top notch.

The teachers are compensated better than public schools, though, they don’t get the total benefits piece. They do get the freedom of curriculum public teachers aren’t afforded.

Special needs kids typically aren’t attendees nor should they be. The schools are private, no reason to weigh down the average student with someone who is on a different life trajectory.

In this area, you just don’t send your kids to public school starting at middle school. You can get by with K-5 if you want, we chose not to. Our kids have been in Catholic institutions since they were 4. We also don’t have all of this stupid shit like CRT and all the other social initiative nonsense. We focus on what matters and that’s STEM.

And there you go ladies and gentlemen the fix HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH. And who the **** is teaching CRT???????????????????????????????????????????? There are states blocking it but I do not know why no one is teaching it https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk...e-passed-critical-race-theory-bills-n1271215g it

I know your whereabouts on January 6, 2021
 
I said I had opportunity to attend classes in Greensboro. Nothing else. You'd be off with that assumption.
So you really were not down in it. Were not exposed to it everyday. OK I see. Just made some assumptions by "attending a few classes" OK got it

In math we rank 28th according to the pew research. What facts are you talking about boys can have babies.
Who is pushing boys having babies science????????? I am not , none of the teachers I know or ever worked with are not. None of the teachers I know from other states are not. So who are these "people teaching this kind of science"??
 
Who has a union. I would love to have a teachers Union God yes please. And who has freedoms in the way they teach?????? Ask the Florida teachers if they feel that way. And if you are a private school teacher the parents are your boss. No thanks not wanting to work for those people
Move to Chicago you will have a union in a Democrat run state and city ......good luck!
I guess not being allowed to teach sex to kindergarten is a bad thing .
Democrat logic right there ....
Parents should be the boss in public schools and that what Glenn youngton (SP) over the top in V.A .
But I get it Democrat logic says government should have total control

I would love the extra $$$$$ would be great. I do not know one kindergarten class that is teaching sex . Patents need to be the boss at home and that's not happening.

Teachers are pushing the transgender happy horseshit and they are pushing boys are having babies. They are pushing its OK for a minor to get his cock cut off .
So by proxy teachers and the public school system is pushing this kind of crap . For the record sex of any kind does not need in schools until 8th grade at the earliest.

I don’t understand why you find so humorous.

I understand the cute little word game trying to be played re: CRT. As a full fledged end to end course, it’s not. There are a ton of CRT elements being incorporated into the broader curriculum. It’s just a fact. If there are races based equality conversations occurring, that’s CR theory. Any view or discussion or sympathy instructed through the lens of race, is CRT. The broader news organizations are trying to play little word games on this shit.

I applaud the states for banning it. They should ban racist teachings and as far as I’m concerned, CRT is racist ideology.

Again, you’re playing word games. As a structured and organized class, it’s not. As a weaved into the fabric of existing topics, it is. Again, these are facts.

It may be a "fact" on right wing Twitter and Fox News, but that does not make it true. My kids, nor any of my friends' kids, have been taught anything other than the run of mill equal rights stuff we were in school. That includes private and public schools in a number of states including here in NY, DC, WV, etc. So, no that is not a fact. I'm sure some individual teachers, schools or districts have included it, but it is not systemic.

We can agree to disagree.

No, not like civil rights. Like the restructuring and reframing of history through the opposition viewpoints omitting contextual elements to entirely reframe an established understanding and importance of historical events. We can further make arguments as to why this is being done, but again, I doubt we’ll agree. I know my truth and you believe yours.

This came up earlier this year, so, I’ll bring it up as an example. Highlighting Leif Erickson and / or reframing Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day. And when teaching about Columbus, the focus was placed on his treatment of the natives lacking the context of the treatment being an accepted morality of the time and foregoing the duty to educated on the overwhelming contribution Columbus’s journey had on altering the course of civilization. Leif Erickson made a failed journey that had no impact on civilization. Columbus altered Europe and effectively paved the way for a free nation to be born.

This would be an example of CRT being incorporated into standard instruction. My “adopted” daughter is a teacher and was teaching this to her public school 1st grade class. She’s only in her second year of teaching and in her mind, the context I was adding was so out of left field because she’s never been exposed to the reality. She’d been fed this nonsense propaganda for her time about how to reimagine reality. So, you can scream they’re not teaching it until you’re blue in the face, I know better. It is being taught.

Your kids were 100% taught about Leif Erickson and were 100% taught about Indigenous People’s day.

I do know what is being taught. My mother was a teacher and then administrator until she retired. My “adopted” daughter is a current educator. I have 2 kids in school. Maybe you’re ignorant to what is being taught.

Yawn And I am a teacher my wife and sister in law are in education you just are off thats all done talking to someone who is basing second hand info as fact. Damn that was exhausting

Explain what that has to do w/ CRT? You're so concerned that Columbus gets credit for discovering America? And I think having a holiday or every thing under the sun is a stupid waste of time, but not sure what the specific issue w/ Indigenous People's Day would be.
 
No it does not . I'm not talking about separation of those trying as best they can they are not a problem even though they will never be a Rhode scholar .
I'm talking about separation of those who won't try . Kids going to private schools will try harder they have skin in the game . Sorta like people living free off the government they don't take care of the homes they are given cause they don't pay for them
They don't have "skin in the game" if the government provides them with vouchers. Duh. And that still doesn't fix the problem. The kids "trying" are the ones performing well already in public schools. The ones that aren't, will never perform well, no matter the setting. So if you take the ones out that are trying, that doesn't fix anything.

Again, it's really not hard to understand if you would allow yourself to get past the political division and stance on public education.
