Private schools choose their students.

I wouldn't say that is entirely accurate.

This Just In from the "If I were Governor Department."

Here is my settlement proposal for the WI teavhers.

1. No change in collective bargaining rights
2. No health care contribution- business as usual
3. No change in step pay
4. No change in pension benefits or retirement age
5. No change to tenure

In essence the status quo rules with the following exception.

In exchange for the above the State of WI establishes a cost per pupil that includes EVERY school in the state and an average cost per pupil is established.

In turn each parent gets a voucher at the rate of one per child and is free to use that voucher at any school within the confines in the state of WI. Each public district is to submit a tuition cost that accurately reflects their actual costs. Public schools that cost above the state average the parents will have to kick in the difference just as they would for a prep school. This is called free enterprise.

Now then, given the above quid pro quo do you think the teachers would take Walkers deal or the one I propose? The answer would tell us a great deal wouldn't it.

Dumbest idea ever. Period.

How is public school a free enterprise? They are not for profit businesses. Then there is the 'any school' thing. If all schools are maintained to the same standards with the same requirements why should there be an issue of what school their kid goes to? Kids are going to go to school in the area that they live in. Buses are not going to bring kids to other schools, parents usually work.

I do agree with all schools getting budgeted the same on a per student basis. A school on the good side of the tracks should not be different than one on the 'bad' side. Rich should not get you a better education than those who are not rich.

It wouldn't change a thing. The state would still be broke, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be in town making up racial injustice and Obama would still be shooting hoops in the White House.

Why not?

For one......you are wrong.....

Dumbest idea ever. Period.

Care to explain?
Why is it dumb? Because you declare it so?

What if any proposals do you have?
Allowing parents to be "Pro-Choice" would seem like a good thing to me and it would force schools and the teachers therein to perform at peal levels.

Being a Libertarian I'm not certain that the role of government is to educate my child.

If I have to pay then maybe I don't have 8 kids? If it directly come out of my pocket then maybe I pay more attention to what and how much little Billy is or isn't learning

Status quo wont fix their short term budget problem nor their looming mid-longterm either. You really should research WI problems more then you have.

Maybe they should sell the governors mansion and make him buy his own house, make him and the lawmakers pay for healthcare, and get rid of all their perks.

Hey that works for me. Let the rat b*stards live like the rest of us. Obama & Biden get a house & healthcare! The rest live like we do, then they can truly "Know" the people they fleece. What better way for the 535 political hacks In Congress pay there own Healthcare Premiums. Then maybe we can get some meaningful reform

Are you proud to call names and insult towards people who dont have the same view as you?

Are you that immature?

Time to grow up.

You are new to the water cooler. I am sure you will figure out that answer in short order. I strongly recommend the ignore function.
