Trump is a total ass clown

[nakedbutler10]

He can't go to security briefings but he can make time to find out what Kanye West thinks is important?

The next 4 years are going to be the greatest clusterfuck this country has ever seen.

Just remember Obama had about a 42 % rate over the entire 8 yrs with his daily intel brief. The other thing is. The day after Benghazi he even skipped it while everyone was on the phone or airwaves stating it was a video. They did everything possible to state that they didn't know when in fact they did.

Where was your outcry then .. also remember all of those fake hollywood actors telling us how great and who to vote for with HRC... these are the types people that many of the snowflakes believe. They are gods to a lot of millennials

Tomorrow, members of the Electoral College will formally vote Trump as President-Elect.

Which means we'll have impeachment hearings at some point.

You should have issued a spoiler alert. There are still several people on the board keeping hope alive.

There's a fine line between 'hope' and 'delusion'.

So Trump wasn't on the ballot in California?

Everyone attempts to ascribe Californians positions we don't take ourselves and it happens in a vacuum on the Lit. Seriously, it sucks here- please stay on your landlocked plains and black ice roads.

No receipts, huh?

What a lousy naked butler service that turned out to be! Next time I'm going Amazon Direct!

 

[about_average]

Why? Is Michigan going to suddenly import brighter students and involved parents?

Yeah, of course that's what I meant.

Your kind love how statistics "prove" what you are trying to prove until, of course, they "prove" something you don't want to hear.

I'm sure that, in your mind, this has some relevance.

 

[Conager]

You mention Michigan's ranking in education statistics as if it means something.

It is smply a function of who's left behind after everyone with any drive, determination and intelligence went somewhere else to find employment.

Now that Democrats and the unions have lost their stranglehold over Michigan, perhaps some bright people will return and rebuild the wasteland that Detroit is now to something of the glory that once made it the nation's third largest city.

It's certainly possible that their decline relative to the rest of the country is because "everyone with any drive, determination and intelligence" realized that the Michigan charter school experiment was wrecking the schools and went somewhere else to teach.

Only you could turn that in to a positive.

Yeah, because Charter School teachers have so much more less incentive to be responsive to parents than union-protected, entrenched, burned-out, incompetant public school teachers.

That lack of involvement must be why their students out-perform public school students.

No. Charter schools can cherry pick the students to avoid problem students and low performers. Public schools take everybody and anybody.

Public Schools refuse to kick out problem children because they want the almighty federal dollars which is based on her pupil.

You are correct though that one of the reasons that Charter Schools outperform is they have better students and better parents. Regardless comma those that pretend that charter schools are somehow inferior to Public Schools do not have statistics on their side

 

[Saint Peter]

No. Public schools teach whatever comes in the door. If the student is focused on not learning and keeping other students from learning, so be it. If the parents enable bad behavior and do not support the system, that is part of the game. If the smartest poster on the board decides to home school his little flower and then toss her back to the public schools when his teaching skills are shit, life goes on.

I said nothing about better parents. Take your word games elsewhere. Outperform? Apples and oranges for the reasons I have listed in these two posts. When charter schools take all that apply and teach all that walk through the doors we can make a comparison.

By that idiocracy logic, you suck as a parent and your kids are morons.

Bad enough when you use idiocracy in place of the correct noun, even worse when you use it as an adjective.

China is a net consumer of oil; Russia is a net producer. Russia controls oil and natural gas to Europe. Russia has more influence in the Middle East.

China needs our consumer markets more than we need inexpensive goods.

You missed the crucial part. It isn't that Russia is trading oil with China per se, but said trades are not conducted in the US dollar. (didn't ya notice that Axis of Evil, Rogue States etc always threaten or currency??) The "petrodollar" has propped up the US for decades. OPEC has always sold oil in USD which essentially forces countries to hold our currency. (This is th real reason. Why the US needs regime change in Syria, why we aren't fighting ISIS. To protect our currency)

Hmm: I wonder whom that same Michael Flynn is giving security briefings to today?

He ignored nothing, the lack of response was strategic. Again this is abiut US currency.

80% of MI charter school students under perform state public school averages in math and reading, and half of them are in the bottom 25% for overall performance.

I see you've been to Trump University, where they teach you that is "outperforming".

 

[Tottee]

Trump is the President of USA. It's all in all. So no other issue is appropriate.

Those are oddly specific and irrelevant numbers. Are you saying that an inner-city youth in a charter school doing poorly in math as compared to a wealthy child in Grosse Pointe Michigan are apples to apples?

now get me the figures for both individual students tracked leaving Public Schools as well as public schools located where an individual charter school is also located. Michigan has one of the older Charter School programs in the nation and as a result for the last 20 years parents who care in the inner cities have pulled their kids out of public schools and put them in charter schools. The fact that they still underperform over Public Schools elsewhere where parents have no need to pull their kids out of gang filled schools is completely irrelevant.

You can't both claim that the charter schools are ruining public schools and the public schools are outperforming charter schools because they aren't- not in the same neighborhood.

you conveniently did not link to the abstract nor your source which was the Detroit Free Press. Here is the rebuttal:
