[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the apologist, if this many people/schools have "local" problems then it's a federal problem. [/quote] Who the FUCK do you see here "apologizing?" NOBODY. You are DELUSIONAL.[/quote] To the illiterate, answer the following questions: 1. What is the definition of "apologist" in this thread? a. Someone who apologizes b. An asshole who makes excuses for a certain doctrine or ideological position c. The name of an Olympic speed skater from Seattle d. the wooden mallet used in the game of polo 2. Cite evidence from the text in this thread to support your answer. [/quote] Nobody here is "making excuses", they are just blasting the anti-CCers for their steady stream of ridiculous comments. For example, the latest ludicrous claim that PARCC testing is designed to make a majority of kids fail, in order to drive everything over to charters... Except APPARENTLY NONE OF YOU MORONS REALIZED THAT CHARTERS ARE ALSO USING COMMON CORE STANDARDS AND THE EXACT SAME PARCC TESTS.[/quote] Again, your lack of understanding of the issues. The right wingers want to interject "choice" into schools, so they have a vested interest in seeing the typical public school undermined. [b]Parents get pissed at all this Common Core and endless testing nonsense[/b], and pull their kids out to homeschool or private schools or even the charters. So public schools close, UNION teachers lose their jobs, and the right is happy. The right doesn't care that charter schools suck worse than public schools. They like charter schools because the teachers are rarely unionized. [/quote] In many places, yes, discontented parents are dumping public schools for charters, but they aren't exactly leaving in droves to homeschool or go to privates. Again, the charters are ALSO using Common Core and ALSO have to do the same tests. So again, your whole narrative about it being a grand scheme to shift kids out of public schools and into charters really doesn't hold any water, whatsoever. You aren't seeing many parents bailing out of charters because of Common Core and testing, though. That again goes to show that it's not about Common Core or testing. It's about public school bloat, bureaucracy, mismanagement, inefficiency, ineffectiveness and general lackluster performance, along with only making change at a glacial pace. Charters on the other hand run in ways that are lean, agile and efficient, because they can't afford to run any other way. So now we see the truth at last, that this anti-CC fight is really just about defending the unions, along with defending and preserving the bloat, the inefficiency, mediocrity and mismanagement of the traditional public school system... it's not really about the kids for you.[/quote]
