[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that 50% of children in the U.S. have a history of poverty.

This is due to the economic policies of the U.S. where we have 800+ billionaires who have more combined wealth than the combined wealth of 50% of the U.S. population.

Schools are not able address this.  Band aides at most to keep giving kids a fighting chance at success in life.[/quote]

No, it is not because we have billionaires.  It is because most children are being born to poor immigrants and low income parents from "generational poverty."  And the tide of new poor children keeps coming every year.  [/quote]

That's your opinion.  Data show that wealth inequality is higher in the United States than in almost any other developed country and has risen for much of the past 60 years.   We have billionaires who pay zero dollars in taxes and our national infrastructure and schools show it.[/quote]

Except the US spends some of the most money per kid in school out of all industrialized nations. MoCo is well above national average. Yet performance continues to sink and the quality of the schools go down the sh!tter every year.

It doesn't matter how much money you spend when you import the entire 3rd world who can't even speak English. Or you have a bunch of ahole parents who impose zero discipline on their kids.

You'd see performance improve if they brought back the switch and whopped their asses in public whenever they wanted to disrupt the classroom. If the parents won't do it, schools should.[/quote]

Beating kids isn’t going to fix things but reopening up a school for kids with severe behavioral problems, fixing the curriculum, holding kids accountable with consequences are all good starts.  [/quote]

What a bunch of BS.  The problem with behavioral, educational, and psych studies is that those soft fields are completely dominated by liberal researchers.  I guarantee you corporal punishment works.  Go whack an out of control kid on the bottom of the feet and see how many times they do the same crap again.  They learn reaaaaaal quick not to pull the same stunts again.  Contrast that to all of the hands off, kumbaya, pooping rainbows discipline ideas liberal educators and psychologists have pushed onto schools systems for the last 30 years.  Kids act up, fight, and assault teachers and are treated with pansy gloves.  They learn zero repercussions and still act like aholes and disrupt learning for everyone.  Whoop their asses.  They need to learn real lessons in discipline.

There are just a large number of people out there who simply cannot understand how there are so many humans out there with behavior instincts like animals, and the only way they ever learn is by the stick whacking their asses, and not from the carrot dangling at the end of it.  [/quote]
