This story has bothered me since it broke.  Why have we allowed this to happen and why are not more folks upset..?  Especially the minority communities where this has hit the hardest?

The right should use this to hammer liberalism into the cofin in which it belongs.  This is similar to racism as we sit back and watch black and hispanic children start adulthood without much of a future because of a lack of education.  These are failed policies for decades that have been forced on children. 

This issues shows liberals as racists.  They want minorities to be poor and uneducated.

There is no link between school funding and academic achievement.
The Kansas city school system proved that years ago.

Democrats solution to everything:  throw money at it.  Like throwing gasoline on a burning fire.  First you must contain and control it.

But there is a link between liberal policies and failing schools..

The notion that throwing more money into schools will make them better is ridiculous.  My parents home schooled me until high school and my test scores were way above the averages.  I’m not bragging but you don’t need to spend a lot of money to give a child a good education so they can succeed in life as an adult.

Nice atease, me and my younger sisters were homeschooled until my sophmore year when my mom wanted to go back to work.  I did go to band at the public school starting in middle school so I knew most of the kids in my grade anyways.  My parents really pushed me and my sisters and it made public school really easy for me when I started The strong work ethic has also helped me in my engineering classes at NDSU.

Homeschooling isn’t bad like many people think as I’m sure you know well.

It’s probably just a generational difference in conversation and audience perception....but if you’re trying to make a persuasive argument on the merits of homeschooling, you might want to rethink your use of pronouns.

My sisters and I.  Happy?  I am majoring in engineering and not getting an English phd and I usually don’t proofread my posts

Happy that you do know the correct form? Yes....Happy that you equate basic grammar rules that should be mastered by the 6th grade with a doctorate in English? Less so....
