Thompson smacked ... ( 11 months ago by chukmaty)
Thompson smacked the NEA good, he had a strong debate but I wonder if it is too late for him. Great comments by Tancredo on the Department of Educations ineffectiveness. Huckabee's comeback to Tancredo was genius. Romney's low blow towards Huckabee was cheep, but his following response was strong.
Make schools ... ( 11 months ago by UniqueWhat)
Make schools compete but don't give the government the reigns or all our kids will succeed at taking a stupid test and fail at life.
Huckabee's success ... ( 11 months ago by UniqueWhat)
Huckabee's success as governor was giving free higher educations to the children of undocumented aliens. Thats just what we need, the legal middle class strapped with school loans until their 40, and the new illegal middle class paid for by your income taxes. (Arkansas is a welfare state after all, so its the rest of us paying for their programs.)

I get really tired of people like Mitt Romney talking about free markets but not actually understanding that a free market is one completely devoid of government intervention at any point

Thompson is ok because he will win South Carolina.
To say that the ... ( 11 months ago by gfunkvt30)
To say that the federal government would give the best tools and methods for States is idealistic. It's basically subsidizing a method that is NOT the best. How can States compare systems to see which is best when they are all similar because the Federal government is channeling each State in one direction? Obviously Tancredo and Ron Paul gave the best answers.

Mitt Romney will be the next President. Huckabee---you are kidding me. Ron Paul has some good ideas as does McCain, but Romney has the resources to battle and beat Hilary.

Mittens doesn't advocate a free market, he advocates a pro-business market.

I don't know if Thompson will win SC, Huckabee's got a 7 point lead on him last I saw, and the 5 people behind Huck are all within 6 points of each other, Thompson being at 17% and Paul being at 11%.

I agree with that [btw, mittens, I like, haha]. I'm just speaking in regards to Majisto speaking against free markets as if they are bad things. I am just curious what is so bad about a free market.

"Conservatives beat liberals only when we challenge their outdated positions, not embrace them. This is not a time for philosophical flexibility, it is a time to
 stand up for what we believe in. Together we can carry the conservative banner all the way to the Whitehouse." -Fred Thompson-

If we are going to prosper as a nation we the red people,yellow people and white that have an architectural history an alphabet a number system and a measure of time must take on the United States and stamp out the nigger cock roach to protect and preserve America for further intelligent hard working generations.Our love is for America and not the nigger living Uniten States. NOTE the first Civil War was not fought over black people but
 the next one must be. Your help is badly needed.

For over 300 years America was first in education,in 1954 the Brown vs board of education ruling forced American school to let blacks in causing Americanschool to drop from first place for over 300 years to violent animalistic survival zones. In 54 years we have dropped from first place to twenty fourth
 place.How much more are we going to take from the United States? Education in the foundation of society and when education fails society is not far behind

Soviet system was ... ( 5 months ago by hotpelmen)
Soviet system was pretty effective.They had a ministry responsible for theoretical+practical research into various methodologies,developing standards,developing curriculum for each grade,educating teachers,enforcing the standards nationwide. Teachers still had freedom to have their own style but at the same time were provided with well-tested detailed professional guidelines.Can't imagine individual school boards competing with that level of professionalism.Point is:need to learn from the world!
You are so correct! ... ( 2 months ago by IAmJustRd)
You are so correct! As a future teacher who lives in a state who has a extreamly sad education system due to the fact they only want teachers to teach to the WASL, our standardized test, I am appalled. Teachers teach to the WASL because they have to. It's sad because now you have to pass the damn test to graduate and not enough students can. So what did they system do? Make alternative to pass it, not make sure students are learning.
