my opinion is that in the near future there will no longer be any public schools at all in this country. schools will be private and generally only for the rich like it was in the past. the need for workers is decreasing and public school k-12 is becoming unnecessary and for the most part pointless now. a lot of what public school is now is just an image or a facade - nothing is actually being accomplished by it anymore other than as just a day care center. the money supporting public schools will probably get re diverted to health care and social security as the population of this country shifts to a an elderly majority like almost all developed nations are currently heading towards right now

Our country spends money on the wrong things, if even 1/4th of our military budget went to healthcare and education we'd be damn near a utopia.


Case in point, 1 F-22 Raptor costs $420 million, our country ordered 188 of them and they aren't even in active combat service because of a design flaw that causes pilots to blackout :russ:
Actually its closer to $150m. And yes, they are in active service.

I get what you're saying but the production was cut short and the planes its replacing will be close to or over 50 years old by the time they fet phased out permanently. Im all for more fundong for schools but having your armed forces flying 50 year old fighter jets is not whats hot either.

Its still funny because we have them, and the wars we are fighting for the next 50 years will involve nikkas using street clothes and IEDs.

But anyway, yeah this is pretty fukked up.
John Goodman is right though, the charter school movement is huge right now and is really challenging the public schools.

Phila school district is a long complicated story

Basically money was mismanaged for years... got way worse recently with a woman named arlene ackerman running it...

All political will in pa is pushing to kill the district and replace it with charter schools... which is what these closings are really about

Nall they made her a scapegoat because she wouldn't play their rules and she seen how crooked this city was. They wanted her to give contracts etc.. to certin ploiticians cronies

Hell yeah she was going to speak about it but I guess she got silenced when she left the district she died couple months ago from cancer. She was going to tell on the Mayor Michael Nutter and councilman Dwight Clark. City demonized her horribly breh about shyt that was here before she came. City is so crooked.

http://philadelphiacitycouncil.net/ one of the most corrupted council in the United States and the Irish/Italian controlled Unions are the downfall of Philly though.
