Denny instead of pulling a UN graph. Why don't you do some real research. Talk to a teacher. What makes you think for even a second that a normal student in Indo-China will even get a chance to learn to read? Get real! those numbers are so wrong it's nuts. The average kid in china is working in a sweat shop. Open your eyes man please!
And then you guys want to try to tell me that the Firemen and Cops are part of the problem also? You think we should stop supporting our Military? Your all over the board here Denny.
LOL Maybe they can invent "new math" that makes the results look less awful than they are in actuality. No talking to teachers is going to change the costs or the results or how the economics SHOULD provide a great education. Here's a true story. I sent my kid to a Catholic high school. It cost 1/2 what they spent at the time (per student) in public education, and 9 out of 10 of the kids went to college. It really sucked I had no other choice. The public school system would have meant no college.
The firemen and cops bankrupted Detroit. The cops dress like soldiers. But nah, they're not part of any problem.
I have been all over the world. I have been to China, Korea, France, England, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mexico, Panama, Phillipines and a number more. They don't compare.
I am pro "tax credit" for families that home or private school their children. If the State is getting the average 11k per student per year, that would be one helluva tax break for parents like yourself that send their kids to private schools.
Ironically, for the ~$4500 in tuition, that school graduated virtually all the kids, had a music and arts program, and had one of the top football teams in the state.
You think the Cops and Firemen bankrupt Detroit? Maybe it was the greedy corporate idiots putting their money overseas? What kind of car do you drive Denny? Acura? Honda? Toyota? Nissan? 10-1 it ain't made here. Personally i have a Ford Ranger and a Dodge Journey. Sure the Cops destroyed Detroit.
Yep... I sent my daughter to Beasant Hill School. Probably the best investment I made on my children's future. The tuition is a little high (37k) but they learned how to farm, act, art, live and fed them natural foods they grew on their own.
I'm quite sure it was the cops and firemen that bankrupted Detroit. Specifically it was the cost of their public union negotiated sweetheart pension deals. The corporations had nothing to do with how mismanaged things were there. But you might want to survey the children there and see how shockingly few can read.

Wow! i only make 70K a year so i guess i am simply middle class and we all know where you stand if you can afford 37K a year to put your kid through school.
Yes, I am pretty blessed financially. I make around 260k per year. But I also pay $5,350 per month in child support.
Again the CNS news report...The RIGHT news RIGHT now. I love it. Great stuff there. I am sure it is full of Doom and Gloom!
