87. Do you think everyone can afford to move

Sep 2012

for a temporary job that might end in a day, or a week?

For that matter, do you think everyone lands a job in a district they can afford to live in?

This strikes me as being out of touch.

A lot of EDU posts wind up in GD. Not sure how many folks realize this group is here. GreenPartyVoter Sep 2012 #2

Something to consider... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #5

I think that's what's happened with DU3. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #95

No. Still here. Don't like re-runs which Ed Nation... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #3

Not arguing about the staging, just the absence of outrage! NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #4

My outrage burns... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #6

Are you asking why there's not as much conversation as you'd like? LWolf Sep 2012 #7

What % of charter schools are unionized? n/t Smarmie Doofus Sep 2012 #10

According to some here, none. n/t noamnety Sep 2012 #13

How 'bout according to you? Smarmie Doofus Sep 2012 #16

I haven't researched the percentage. noamnety Sep 2012 #18

Check my union, the AFT, part of the AFL-CIO. mbperrin Sep 2012 #20

We ended up going with the AFT. noamnety Sep 2012 #22

yup NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #12

And i get tired of repeating that non-profit management is a farce and documenting the multitude HiPointDem Sep 2012 #14

Thanks. noamnety Sep 2012 #15

i'm not a teacher. don't know why my post would elicit that response from you, as my phrasing HiPointDem Sep 2012 #21

It got that response noamnety Sep 2012 #23

The people you're explaining to already know some charters are non-profit and have never HiPointDem Sep 2012 #26

The one you are replying to has a one-agenda concept. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #24

Your post makes a lot of false assumptions about our student population. (nt) noamnety Sep 2012 #27

Care to elucidate? Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #28

My answers: noamnety Sep 2012 #29

Prize. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #30

Personal attack and demand for personal information noted. (nt) noamnety Sep 2012 #32

You are truly confused. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #35

I have a policy of not giving personal information noamnety Sep 2012 #37

Nice way to duck. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #40

Unfortunately, sulphurdunn Sep 2012 #75

"In the current system, the working poor sometimes don't have legal access to any schools" HiPointDem Sep 2012 #33

Calling bullshit is accurate. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #34

I gave the details. noamnety Sep 2012 #36

"In the current system, the working poor sometimes don't have legal access to any schools" HiPointDem Sep 2012 #38

Perhaps this phrasing is better: noamnety Sep 2012 #39

Perhaps an apology for inaccurate bombast would be better. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #42

Np. I won't apologize. noamnety Sep 2012 #46

Shame. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #51

Hold up there cowboy-public schools take ALL comers. They ARE mandated to provide MichiganVote Sep 2012 #44

No, they don't take all comers. noamnety Sep 2012 #48

Darling you obviously are not interested in learning anything new so have at it-argue your heart out MichiganVote Sep 2012 #50

More crap. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #52

Amen sulphurdunn Sep 2012 #76

I see. You think that you are a special person. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #41

Not quite. There are districts that are 'School of Choice' meaning they will take students MichiganVote Sep 2012 #45

Read the above thread. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #53

Your post is incorrect, Jakes progress. noamnety Sep 2012 #60

I was correct. You were shading your position. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #62

My daughter's 25 now. noamnety Sep 2012 #63

You are craven. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #65

I'm pretty sure you are confused. noamnety Sep 2012 #68

I'm sure your are not ready to find truth. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #70

On the contrary, I've said I'm NOT a special case. noamnety Sep 2012 #47

You do act like you are special. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #54

"You want what you don't pay for. You want it for free." noamnety Sep 2012 #57

Still fuzzy on facts or just avoiding a little self-realization? Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #59

This is the whole concept of public education. noamnety Sep 2012 #61

No matter how you duck it Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #64

You aren't making any sense. noamnety Sep 2012 #66

Twist and Shout Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #69

While you are at it, can you request an audit on your own school? noamnety Sep 2012 #72

A little more info on how charters here work: noamnety Sep 2012 #49

More uninformed bullshit. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #55

Yes, in this state the ratio of for profits is high. noamnety Sep 2012 #56

Let's have the name of your magical school. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #58

as i've repeatedly told you, with documentation, the non-profit designation means diddley in many HiPointDem Sep 2012 #83

No amnety, may I please make a suggestion? The Doctor. Sep 2012 #67

Yeah, I know you are correct. noamnety Sep 2012 #71

Why would anyone pay taxes for a local district to fund students attending school in another HiPointDem Sep 2012 #84

Do you think everyone can afford to move noamnety Sep 2012 #87

What strikes me as out of touch is throwing open the door to local taxes being sucked out of HiPointDem Sep 2012 #89

What if the system was reformed, though noamnety Sep 2012 #93

And your debating style Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #43

Every charter school I work with is a public charter school, with union teachers. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #100

In general, I could care less about the groups. JDPriestly Sep 2012 #9

I mostly OP to GD. I try to word the header in a way that will engage. Smarmie Doofus Sep 2012 #11

Why not start a thread about it? Starry Messenger Sep 2012 #17

There's no need to kill it - I don't believe it costs a lot to have it. mbperrin Sep 2012 #19

Don't fork it. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #25

Well. Are you *happy* now????? Smarmie Doofus Sep 2012 #73

LOL. Starry Messenger Sep 2012 #74

I am able to discuss sulphurdunn Sep 2012 #77

I'm with you, and I actually work daily in a public school system. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #78

That's offensive. Many of us greatly value the thoughts of our retirees. proud2BlibKansan Sep 2012 #79

Your response is unwarranted. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #80

You have no idea how long any of the retired teachers here have been out of the system. proud2BlibKansan Sep 2012 #81

You don't know me. I don't know you. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #82

How does this comment... Reader Rabbit Sep 2012 #85

you know, old people, they don't know how to work an iphone so they don't know squat about HiPointDem Sep 2012 #90

And I know many who regularly volunteer in public schools... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #92

I agree with others here... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #91

That's unfortunate. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #94

I do have some training in... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #97

I keep checking in on the group but it seems to have far fewer posts than the DU2 board had. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #96

We could just shut it down and, once again, silence the voices of... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #98

"once again"? NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #99

Not at DU. There is a much larger debate... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #101
