1) We Are the Public [by Ann Rock on July 25, 2003] We all pay taxes but we are not all educated with our tax money. This is blatantly unfair and discriminatory. There is a paradigm shift in education thinking occuring. see thepowertochoose.org and mackinac.org.Read the Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto 2001. Our tax money should be applied to the school of our choice as tax paying parents in the form of a tax credit.It works for K-12. Reply
2) HB 6251- comment [by Anonymous Citizen on July 23, 2003] This is a reply to your comment. It isn't the public schools that we have a problem with it is the teachers teaching them - and not all teachers! If kids aren't getting the education that they have a right to get because of their pulic schools - then YES they should seek education else where whether it be home schooling or private. You might be someone that has been fortunate with the school system but there are alot of unfortunate people out there that haven't had that kind of LUCK!!
I think it is a shame that everybody is into the money thing instead of the education end of it!! Reply
3) Repeal Teacher Tenure Act [by Anonymous Citizen on February 2, 2003] We need to repeal the teacher tenure act. These teachers form an elitist peer group. If your on the outside your a low life to them. Make no mistake about the phony smiles they give you. They have a bible in one hand and a knife in the other. They are untouchable!
