Turning operators do not have to pay the rent. Taxpayers will pay for their schools for their children. It 's like hiring a tutor to come home, but to make him pay the bills. Games for Adults

I know exactly what those new legislators, as a group, understand.

That’s what scares me.

I missed it because it wasn’t funny.

Yeah, your take was “spin.” And that’s being kind.

IPS: Indianapolis Phailing Students

Apparently the wet suit “waterboarded” was insufficient to deter you (or someone else) from “liking” the guest’s post. The best chance kids have in the IPS system is for their parents to move out to the doughnut counties which became that way because of the easily percieved coming failures of IPS and its band of really stupid social engineers.
Now that IPS is multi road kill the prospects for turning it around as government schools and on the Indiana model of government schools are nil. Zero. Nada. I think the Legislature understands this-at least the newer members do.

I suppose you missed the humor. But, I suppose I could try typing real slow.

I guess, TA, that you did not read the story cited? Spin? Want to try to document any factual errors or should folks just take your unsupported word for reality? In the case of Catholic schools I’m of the opinion that they ought to be the originators of tax credits for anyone who attends them because each kid there saves taxpayers money and the parents ought not be taxed for something they don’t use e.g. IPS.

Careful, Guest. If I “like’ your post, Pascal will be all over you like a wet suit. But this one, I have to “like.” So much common sense.

I want school reform, and I’m even ready to accept the reform we’re not getting. IF the playing field is fair.

This one is patently unfair. Our legislators passed reforms like they were eating lunch. Pitiful.

The large parts are good. But several smaller pieces of the legislation need serious tweaking.

You’re aware, of course, that IPS taxpayers just went for a huge bond issue, to (capital) improve schools, some of whom are on the takeover list? I believe the gross total was a quarter-billion.

It’s messed up. These turn-around companies get free facilities, and the annual $$ reports they have to file allow massive fund-shifting. We’ll never get an accurate picture of our tax dollars’ travels.

And they can contribubte campaign money to te State Super. Fantastic.
