[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes these post crack me up and infuriate me at the same time.

The idea that SA schools are horrible is laughable. Here are some things that make schools horrible

- being closed due to mold
- Schools where kids can't focus because the heat or AC doesn't work 
- unsafe drinking water 
- rampant pest infestation
- high levels of violence
- text books that haven't been updated for 20 years 
- Schools where the state can only afford to keep them open for 4 days
- schools were teachers are paid 20K a year 
- schools where the state only spend 5K per yr per student 
- you know schools that look like this

What doesn't make schools horrible?

Schools that perform slightly worse than other schools, a difference that is further reduced when looking at students with similar profiles in both schools. [/quote]

If the schools were as comparable as you say, why are people paying hundreds of thousands in housing premiums and commute times instead of attending SA schools? Seems to me those thousands of people know something you don't. But actually, I bet you live in NA and this explanation is your way of pretending the differences don't exist or need to be addressed.[/quote]
