 | Unfortunately, my own daughter who lives in a ATL suburb in DeKalb county, has chosen to send my grand daughters to private and VERY pricey private schools. Offends my egalitarian soul. BUT she can justify her reasons. Doesn'tmake it better. And the 28,00 a year she spends to do it, makes me CHOKE!!!! |
Comment History  | My daughter-in-law has worked with the Chattanooga Boys Choir, a great organization, at summer camps and the final concert is at Baylor. I love the singing, but my heart always hurts a bit for the kids I taught who never had a chance to experience the things that private schools have. |

| It drives me crazy for the James Dobsons of this world to refer to "government schools," conjuring up pictures of children in uniforms being forced to spout propaganda. Public schools are OUR schools. I have a fantasy in which all those parents who send their kids to private schools take the thousands of dollars they spend for that and donate it to public schools. Not gonna happen, but it's a nice dream. |
Original Post | CHecking out David PErdue's remarks in Gainesville Times today. Wouldn't normally bother, but his remarks are so egregious, I couldn't help doing my own fact check. :He isn't doing badly at untruths.
doing badly on untruths. Today in the Gainesville Times, you are quoted as saying that you are opposed to Common Core and that 50 years of federalized education have failed. Then you go on to say that countries like Peru and Columbia perform better in math and science at the 14yo level. You use that as proof that federalization of education has failed in the US. JUST SO YOU KNOW: Peru has the best education in South America with free public education from K-college. - and it is nationalized . Columbia also has a nationalized education system. Both have dictates from the national education ministry to the local level. |
