Wow, Kane finally says some intelligent things.
Too bad more don't agree with him, or that our society in general doesn't take on a more conservative, responsible approach to demanding people in our society act in an appropriate manner...
How do we get inner city parents and the parts of the community to start behaving in an appropriate manner?
Oh man, I can just hear how mad the white-guilt liberals got at the thought of someone saying that, in general, the behavior in the inner city is out of control. How dare someone bring up the truth...backed up by facts.

End to school violence must start at home

I wish I had the cash to start a school in Milwaukee.
First off, no unions.
Second, no social workers.
Third, For each grade there will be a publicly posted list of expectations of the sutdents both scholasticly and behaviorwise.
Fourth, grades will be posted. There will be competition for the top student for each grade. I would seek out prize sponsorshipe to reward the top 3 students.
Fifth, for the graduating seniors, I would post who got what scholarship and why.
Sixth, Industrial arts classes would mean something. The auto shop class would build a project car each year and raffle it off to benefit the school. Also, the school would field one if not more teams for the national Engins Masters competition.
Seventh, the Home Ec, will be real home education and be required of all students. Then again, I would require that there be at least one team of Home Ec. students entered in various national baking competition. For the outstanding students, I'd make sure there were scholarships to the various culinary arts schools in the world.
Eighth, I'd reinstate Civics and make it real. Kids would regularly take field trips to various political functions and get involved.
Ninth, Phy. Ed. would be a Fit for Life class and the why would be drilled into the kids.
Tenth, discipline will be enforced. You gang-bang, you'te out. You mouth off to a teacher, you are suspended, and 3 suspensions, you are out, too.
Eleventh, Any kid causing a problem, their parents will be called in immediately. If the parents blow off the call, the kid is out.
12th, There will be ROTC on campus. All students will have to interact with active and retired military personnel I bring in. They do not have to join the military, but they will know what the military is and will know what they can and can't do, not the delusions the uninformed hold.
13th, participation in after school teams will require a B average and being up to date with your school work. No slack because you are a football player, etc.
One thing I would bring back is active school solicitation/encouragement to save money. Remember the old program to buy stamps that when your book was filled, you traded it in for a US Savings Bond? I'd have that and a full blown investment club for the kids and their families.
Junior Abhievement would be an elective course.
Any one got other alternatives to MPS?
liberalism stops most of those from happening...your standards are too high...most kids will not meet them so they have to be lowered...
game,
My eldest achieved a 4.0GPA throughout high school, a 1550 SAT and a 33 ACT. She graduated USC Cum Laude. How many dropouts can we chalk up to liberalism and Jay's union of low or no standards?
I know conservatives love to bash unions...and it is very true unions help keep bad teachers around...but it is the fault of liberal administrators, true believers, white guilt liberals and people making excuses as to why the standards are lowered...and they are lowered all the time
pcd, first, there's little there I or my union would disagree with (1 and 2 being the most obvious exceptions).
Second, how do you pay for this? Ballparking it, even assuming you pay your teachers little with no benefits, I'm guessing this will run somewhere in the 10k or 12k per student range--more if you kick out a lot kids.
So where's the money coming from?
Jay,
First off, I'd try to raise the money privately, but there is supposed to be tax money dedicated to educating the kids. I have always thought those tax dollars should follow the kids no matter where they are educated.
I know big government unionists like yourself will strart screaming because your monster won't be gorged on taxpayer funds.
You set up at strawman about teacher pay to justify yourself and your union.
You have no idea what a cost structure is because you inflate costs of any alternative to make your government indoctrination center look better cost wise when it isn't.
Besides, any teacher working for me wouldn't have ever increasing union dues to pay for ever increasing donations to the Democrat party.
You set up a lot of scare objections that aren't as realistic as you think they are. Again, you are deathly afraid of education models that work.
Also, there are many points PC unionists will argue with, like #4. The self esteem agenda forbids making students feel bad because other students will be praised for doing better than they are. Also, the PC objection is that parents will start preseuring their kids to do better and get the better grades instead of going into a stupor at home in front of TV or a video game if they aren't into drugs or other selfdestructive behavior.
