the teachers can't get the young adult children to pass a test that needs 37 correct answers out of 100 just to pass and you want you want both groups to work on learning....
put a standard in place for to take the pay leverage out of the equation and learning will follow
people with at least 5 years of higher education can't teach children to meet min standards set by this state!
looks like the children have the teachers, parents, admin, and taxpayers wrapped around their middle fingers
maybe if we stop teaching the kids to learn manners, self control, rational thinking from big purple dinosaurs and other animal like creatures and muppets,,,,,homosapians will gain the upper hand on their off spring, and wont get discredited so quickly.....after all, we are rational creatures and eventually the off spring will learn that they ARE NOT purple dinosaurs or muppets....by then I think it's too late and puberty/hormones etc have taken off----literally......

It's always generational and traditional......that being said,,,,the choice statement of being lucky to be able to send you kids to a private school is poor.....it was a choice you made and a choice you worked for,,,take credit,,,,,those 'poor folks' you help in the city dont need luck they need better choice making skills.....
I was sad when President Obama said he was lucky to make it where he is.....that is a sorry statement for anyone....he should show how he worked for it.....and be a proud example....
I dont know about anyone else, luck exists, but to rely on it and use it to take credit for what one has chosen to do also means not taking responsiblity if something goes wrong.....
look at those 'poor folks' lining up week after week for lotto tickets and scratch offs to garner some of that luck......
Yes they do need better choice making skills. And you may have not really "heard" what I was saying. I do thank G-d that we were able to send our children to private school and to private colleges. No apologies. We stuck are money in our kids. No vacations, no extravagancies just education for the kids. We're still in the middle of it. And I am glad I made that decision. In that decision was a choice to send them to private secualr school and not a religious school. I hoped I could fill in that gap with CCD and extra activities that taught social justice. When one feels grateful to G-d and recognizes His grace in what we have, we think we're lucky.
On October 20, the steel workers' union of Rearden Steel demanded a raise in wages. Hank Rearden learned it from the newspapers, no demand had been presented to him and it had not been condidered necessary to inform him. The demand was made to the Unification Board; it was not explained why no other steel company was presented with a similar claim. He was unable to tell whether the demanders did or did not represent his workers, the Board's rules on union elections having made it a matter impossible to define. He learned only that the group consisted of those newcomers whom the Board had slipped into his mills in the past few months. On October 23, the Unification Board rejected the union's petition refusing to grant the raise. If any hearings had been held on the matter, Rearden had not known about it. He had not been consulted, informed or notified. He had waited, volunteering no questions. On October 25, the newspapers of the country, controlled by the same men who controlled the Board, began a campaign of commiseration with the workers of Rearden Steel. They printed stories about the refusal of the wage raise, omitting any mention of who had refused it or who held the exclusive legal power to refuse, as if counting on the public to forget legal technicalitites under a barrage of stories implying that an employer was the natural cause of all miseries suffered by employees. They printed a story describing the hardships of the workers of Rearden Steel under the present rise in the cost of their living--next to a story describing Hank Rearden's profits of 5 years ago. They printed a story on the plight of a Rearden workers wife trudging from store to store in a hopeless quest for food-next to a story about achampagne bottle broken over somebody's head at a drunken party given by and unnamed steel tycoon at a fashionable hotel; the steel tycoon had been Orren Boyle, but the story mentioned no names. "Inequalities still exist among us," the newspapers were saying,"and cheat us of the benefits of our enlightened age." "Privations have worn the nerves and temper of the people. The situation is reaching the danger point. We fear an out break of violence." "We fear and outbreak of violence," the newspapers kept repeating. On October 28, a group of the new workers at Rearden Steel attacked a foreman and knocked the tuyeres off a blast furnace. Two days later , a similar group broke the ground-floor windows of the administration building. A new worker smashed the gears of a crane, upsetting a ladle of molten metal within a yard of five bystanders. "Guess I went nuts, worrying about my hungry kids," he said, when arrested. "This is no time to theorize about who's right or wrong," the newspapers commented. "Our sole concern is the fact that an inflammatory situation is endangering the steel output of the country."
