There's a post going around the military vines that allegedly shows him doubling down on it on his FB page, which then got removed. Checking it out before posting fake news.
http://www.governing.com/gov-data/education-data/state-education-spending-per-pupil-data.html Nationally, the most recent data indicates $11,392 is spent on public education per student. Significant variation exists across states; New York and Alaska spend more than $20,000 per student, while states like Utah and Idaho only spend about a third as much.
As per the Corvallis school board two years ago, they spent around 12K per student and had a four year graduation rate at 69 ish percent.....
The guy is clearly an idiot. My sense of the military is that it's a constant learning experience and for officers, war colleges and just study of previous warfare alone are rigorous academic pursuits.
Yeah...my impression is that this guy is so obviously over board that he is attempting to set himself up as some leftist hero. Kind of like trying to prove you are the dumbest guy in the room.
As a Teacher I am appalled. I have a lot of respect for our military even if I don't agree with some of the reasons we have gone to war. I would never disrepect them. They are brave men and women putting their lives on the line. Totally classless.
It's not exclusive, sadly enough. “You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” - Presidential Nominee, SecState and rumored advisor to the Palestinian Authority
Oh yes! I remember his words vividly. WTF make that man tick? How does he continue to get by with the mouth he has?
Given that Kerry himself enlisted and served in Vietnam, his meaning probably wasn't what you try to make it for political reasons. barfo
Why are we using one dumbass teacher's idiotic statement to indict all teachers? Oh wait.. Nvm... He does the same thing for black folk too. Nothing new here.
every profession has a whack job .....to lump all teachers and value them according to this whack job is pretty shallow
