UConn James Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute! According to Sheff v. O'Neill in the great state of CT, blacks and minorities don't get good test scores because there's no white kids in their schools. So, we needed to bus white kids into Hartford, Bridgeport, etc. and bus black kids out to the suburbs. If they were put in white schools, that would start newfound equity, raise test scores for minorities and everyone would start farting rainbows. (But hey, what about the white kids that went to ****ty inner-city schools? Was that fair to them? Oh well. Who cares about them.) Oh wait. That didn't happen? About the only measurable thing it's resulted in is much higher transportation bills for cities and towns that can't afford it? Well, ****, I'm flummoxed here. Hate to write anyone off, but past a certain stage, there's not much you can do to change courses of behavior. Wishing it were different is just that. Students of any color should not be taken to extraordinary measures for feelgood policies. Educate kids in their school districts with property taxes raised in that school district. If they don't learn there, I'm sorry, but they're probably not going to learn anywhere. Times are just way too tough to drive kids 30 miles to school every day for a social experiment.

Frit0 Bandit0 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 So did the kid with metal plates in his head get an apology from the judge, or the sister. May be the judge should have to wear those metal plates to fully appreciate his decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read another article that said that Lang and others didn't fight back because school rules state that retaliation is punishable at the same level as an instigator. I'm surprised that a bunch of wrestlers didn't take care of Byers but we don't know the actual setting in which this ocurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...Good kids to a bad school, a fruitless, depriving venture. Bad kid to good school, an unmitigated disaster. Because a few good kids couldn't rise the tide in the bad school, bad kids shouldn't be given the privilege of succeeding in a good school? I mean, I'm sure the boosted transport expenses costs communities hundreds of non-budgeted dollars, but aside from that...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 So...Good kids to a bad school, a fruitless, depriving venture. Bad kid to good school, an unmitigated disaster. Because a few good kids couldn't rise the tide in the bad school, bad kids shouldn't be given the privilege of succeeding in a good school? I mean, I'm sure the boosted transport expenses costs communities hundreds of non-budgeted dollars, but aside from that...? I am sure you are, as usual, being sarcastic, but Lang, who had to have four metal plates surgically inserted in his face after the beating, was not in court. What precisely do you define as a unmitigated disaster? 6 plates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between a good school and a bad school has more to do with who attends the school and the parents of the students than anything else.
