United States economy doomed …

I'll take that one.

What do teachers union's have to do with the lack of modern schools?

I hope you are not going to say they are overpaid.

He didn't say lack of he said modernizing as in upgrade.

As to the teachers unions failing our children....if the schools have poor academic results...who would you say is responsible?

An unacceptable amount of public schools have been in decline all across the country.

I'm not going to say their overpaid....but your teacher unions,just like many other unions fail to deal with poor performing members.

They have voucher's where you're at?

Here in the Steeler Nation.....they privatized a bunch of schools...no union.....scholastic results were way better than the public schools.Oh the teacher unions fought and fought but lost at the state level.When parents had opportunities to apply for school vouchers,they lined up around the block because they know the difference.

Grant you,income levels and community tax base have input into the equation but that's where the Fed and State come in with support.

When parents almost kill for a chance to get their kids into a privatized school program..that says loads about teachers unions.

Say what you wish about vouchers and privatizing schools.....looks like parents know the difference.

My bad Gilding, might not be the only fix, but no tax hikes on the "EVIL RICH" would go a long ways in stabalizing the market. Hell, if I were a high roller in the stock market, I'd be selling everything I had too and moving it off-shore before Nobama raises the Capitol gains tax !

And Dell, maybe Tech thinks bathroom sinks that sprout water only when near them and escalators to the 2nd floor , in our schools will improve grades !

Union= Mediocracy and complacency=average grades !

If you care to put my thoughts, as you perceive them, out here in the discussion board, at least address them to me.

I'm not singling out any unions specifically but they,like management in this day and age are failing in their mission.

I think the major problem is that the most qualified people do not want to become teachers. The low pay and lack of reward provide no incentive to become a teacher, or to stay one.

Obama has some good ideas in his education plan that I think will go a long way to improve the public school situation.

Obama and Biden believe teachers should not be forced to spend the academic year preparing students to fill in bubbles on standardized tests.

Obama and Biden will create new Teacher Service Scholarships that will cover four years of undergraduate or two years of graduate teacher education, including high-quality alternative programs for mid-career recruits in exchange for teaching for at least four years in a high-need field or location.

Districts will be able to design programs that reward with a salary increase accomplished educators who serve as a mentors to new teachers. Districts can reward teachers who work in underserved places like rural areas and inner cities. And if teachers consistently excel in the classroom, that work can be valued and rewarded as well.

Here in Texas, we have the TACS test. Schools are judged based on the performance on that test, not on how the students are acutally educated. Teachers' incentive is to teach the test.

Obama supports merit based pay, which I support. It seems the unions have just come on board. Look at this article.

Video link on his merit pay proposal.

I like what he has proposed thus far. I did not like the way the NCLB act was implemented and (not) supported.

I am strictly against any government funds going to any kind of religious based educational organization.

If I had a choice, I would want my kids to go the same school as the Obama kids.

ah hahaahaha .... ah sorry , it's good to take a doom journal breather every now and then ..



sadly ladies and gentlemen .. neither LOWER taxes NOR improved schools will stop the home defaults that are occurring all over our nation ...

at this time when a house defaults the bank recoups about 68% back ... but now as more and more homes default and the price of a home is driven further and futher down you can expect to see banks recouping less and less , which means their going to take larger and larger hits on their books ... which in turn will make many banks insolvent , which in turn will cause the FDIC to run short of funds ...sooner or later ....

enjoy the gloom!

I bet you were the guy next door during Y2K that had ten years of food water and ammo, attend survival meetings like a religion, a leading survivalist well know in those fringe circles. Of course you are completely off the grid and even get royalties from the power company for providing --them-- power. You have seeds of all sorts in the refrigerator, listen to short wave radio end times freaks seven days a week, of the sorts I already linked to in previous posts. Basically you are totally obsessed and breathe heavy when you write this crap just before going to bed.

Did I miss anything?

Probably predicted the end of the world on specific dates at least three different times... :unsure:

The Chancellor of the DC schools was on 60 minutes last night. Randi Weingarten was as well. Hopefully, some of you saw it; it was a very interesting piece. The proposal there would be to give teachers a choice between performance based pay and tenure...

Anyone take notice?
Your agent of change hasn't come up with any new faces or new ideas.
All these lame attempts at fixing this money mess is using already tried tactics.
I thought we were getting the book rewritten from A-Z??
Looks quite like the O admin is top heavy with beltway insiders from the yesteryear.
So where's the beef?

Igor says

A leading Russian political analyst has said the economic turmoil in the United States has confirmed his long-held view that the country is heading for collapse, and will divide into separate parts.

Professor Igor Panarin said in an interview with the respected daily IZVESTIA published on Monday: "The dollar is not secured by anything. The country's foreign debt has grown like an avalanche, even though in the early 1980s there was no debt. By 1998, when I first made my prediction, it had exceeded $2 trillion. Now it is more than 11 trillion. This is a pyramid that can only collapse."

Dissatisfaction is growing, and at the moment it is only being held back by the elections and the hope that Obama can work miracles. But by spring, it will be clear that there are no miracles."

our country will not collapse and civil disorder will not rule the day , nor will we divide up into fractions ....


we will simply switch to a new economic system .. end of story ...
