Is this your new meme? “Government-run schools” Christ, get a job.
People do have a choice. They can either afford it or not.
I’m just hoping Haley supports ending this country district crap we’ve had for decades and allocate money per student on state level. End the disaster of districts setting spending and taxes.
That makes no sense. The current system rewards families who are successful, and punishes families who are not. If you’re successful you live in Lexington districts with good tax base and ample funding. If you live in Swansea – well you get the picture. (Even better, if you live in Hampton, or Estill.
I live in Lexington and see the waste. I sell product in many school districts and see the poverty. Not everyone can move up in financial status.
Keeping poor schools poor is just wrong. It isn’t the child’s fault that the community they live in doesn’t have the tax base other communities have.
We could eliminate the vast differences in property taxes by eliminating school districts.
Every child in SC deserves the same chance.
I sure bet that’s one Funky Monkey! Sorry, off topic…
Get excited! We’re pleased to announce today we’re in the top fifteen states for teen pregnancy!!
……is so full of shit that her eyes have turned brown.
Nikki Haley, Power Flake, isn’t open to having the best schools, roads, ports, medical without Washington, D.C. cronies being involved!
Commercial Hemp Production (Not Marijuana) could let South Carolina lead in biodegradable plastic bottles, do away with dirty fiberglass, build cars with bodies 1000 lb’s lighter, hemp bio fuel, wallboard with R15 insulation in board, grow the same amount of pulp per acre (20% better) in 120 days as takes pine trees six to 10 years.
Commercial Hemp would be grown and manufactured in South Carolina by our Citizens while producing 2 Trillion Dollars and 50,000 Environmental Green Industrial Revolution Jobs! Rand Paul in Kentucky is going for Commercial Hemp. Oregon is only STATE with Commercial Hemp Production that is legal……
I did a report on this in college, and you have hit the nail on the head
you forgot to mention that when grown around an active field it acts as a natural pesticide, if you never harvest it and simply grow it and “plow under” it it will revitalize the soil better than any fertilizer, and it will allow for an extra crop to be grown and harvested than other live plants that this is done with because of the super quick vegitative rate. growing hemp only as a rotation crop for revitalizing the soil, not haresting for manufacturing, textile, or fuel, would allow the state to add probably 25% to its agriculture income because it could harvest 1-3 additional times every year without damaging the soil
Simply require 65% of education spending to directly benefit students. This means fewer districts, consolidation of administrative functions, putting more qualified teachers in the classrooms, and reducing class size.
We know what to do. All the research and data is there staring us in the face.
But this would mean turning public schools back into actual schools, instead of a giant jobs program and day care facility.
Oh yeah, and more sex.
Schools should be designated as either for college bound students or training students for a trade. The general choice would be made in ninth grade, but students would, of course, be free to switch from one to the other if their circumstances or motivation or whatever, changes. The current system is a colossal waste of money and time for students who have no hope in traditional academic classes, but might thrive in programs with a realistic goal (getting a job after graduation). Why continue to pretend to be baffled by low test scores when the truth is we could spend a hundred thousand a student and some of them will never succeed in college prep classes, and for that matter, don’t even want to be there? Same goes for teachers. Assign them to the appropriate job at the right school, based on aptitude tests. What’s wrong with teaching a kid the basics of air-conditioning? Sounds a lot more useful in the long run than Social Studies. Or, we can keep beating the same heads against the wall and hoping it will get better if we just buy a more expensive wall.
thats what japan does, and thats what the schools try to do with TP, CP, and AAP classes…but we cant hurt their wittle feewings
But of course the joke is that the object is to efficiently educate. Wrong. The purpose of all this comedy is to safeguard and expand the pig trough from which these “educators” feed. The preceding sentence, by the way, is one that maybe four percent of active South Carolina Public School teachers could have composed.
So disappointed in the outfit – she looked like your grandmother’s couch (without the plastic cover.) She needs the makeup wizards from the RNC. What ever happened to our sexy saucy naughty nekid nikkiness?
After the Governor’s speech, Miss McConnell was interviewed and complained the Governor didn’t recognize all her efforts helping elderly people.
“The elderly have trouble putting out their trash, getting to the doctor, finding postage stamps, stuff like that. My office helps with that. I got no recognition. Unfair. Disrespectful.”
So funny: “General” McConnell now in charge of the broom closet.
Okay I want to know about the 14,000 jods DSS Director Lillian Koller supposely find for South Carolina Welfare client. I had my job when I applied for AFDC and I know many of my friends had their jobs before applying for afdc and we all received phone calles asking us to close your AFDC cases to save your countable month from the case manager and even if you were getting unemploymnent my girlfriend Lakeisha said they ask her to do the same. I just wonder if their were jobs paying more than $7.25 why I was asked to take a higher paying job then $7.25 per hour.
The first step would be to clean up the corruption at USC Upstate
