A lot of EDU posts wind up in GD. Not sure how many folks realize this group is here. GreenPartyVoter Sep 2012 #2
Something to consider... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #5
I think that's what's happened with DU3. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #95
No. Still here. Don't like re-runs which Ed Nation... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #3
Not arguing about the staging, just the absence of outrage! NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #4
My outrage burns... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #6
Are you asking why there's not as much conversation as you'd like? LWolf Sep 2012 #7
I mostly stopped posting here noamnety Sep 2012 #8
What % of charter schools are unionized? n/t Smarmie Doofus Sep 2012 #10
According to some here, none. n/t noamnety Sep 2012 #13
How 'bout according to you? Smarmie Doofus Sep 2012 #16
I haven't researched the percentage. noamnety Sep 2012 #18
Check my union, the AFT, part of the AFL-CIO. mbperrin Sep 2012 #20
We ended up going with the AFT. noamnety Sep 2012 #22
yup NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #12
And i get tired of repeating that non-profit management is a farce and documenting the multitude HiPointDem Sep 2012 #14
Thanks. noamnety Sep 2012 #15
i'm not a teacher. don't know why my post would elicit that response from you, as my phrasing HiPointDem Sep 2012 #21
It got that response noamnety Sep 2012 #23
The people you're explaining to already know some charters are non-profit and have never HiPointDem Sep 2012 #26
The one you are replying to has a one-agenda concept. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #24
Your post makes a lot of false assumptions about our student population. (nt) noamnety Sep 2012 #27
Care to elucidate? Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #28

Prize. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #30
Personal attack and demand for personal information noted. (nt) noamnety Sep 2012 #32
You are truly confused. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #35
I have a policy of not giving personal information noamnety Sep 2012 #37
Nice way to duck. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #40

"In the current system, the working poor sometimes don't have legal access to any schools" HiPointDem Sep 2012 #33
Calling bullshit is accurate. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #34
I gave the details. noamnety Sep 2012 #36
"In the current system, the working poor sometimes don't have legal access to any schools" HiPointDem Sep 2012 #38
Perhaps this phrasing is better: noamnety Sep 2012 #39
Perhaps an apology for inaccurate bombast would be better. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #42
Np. I won't apologize. noamnety Sep 2012 #46
Shame. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #51
Hold up there cowboy-public schools take ALL comers. They ARE mandated to provide MichiganVote Sep 2012 #44
No, they don't take all comers. noamnety Sep 2012 #48

More crap. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #52
Amen sulphurdunn Sep 2012 #76
I see. You think that you are a special person. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #41
Not quite. There are districts that are 'School of Choice' meaning they will take students MichiganVote Sep 2012 #45
Read the above thread. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #53
Your post is incorrect, Jakes progress. noamnety Sep 2012 #60
I was correct. You were shading your position. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #62
My daughter's 25 now. noamnety Sep 2012 #63
You are craven. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #65
I'm pretty sure you are confused. noamnety Sep 2012 #68
I'm sure your are not ready to find truth. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #70
On the contrary, I've said I'm NOT a special case. noamnety Sep 2012 #47
You do act like you are special. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #54
"You want what you don't pay for. You want it for free." noamnety Sep 2012 #57
Still fuzzy on facts or just avoiding a little self-realization? Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #59
This is the whole concept of public education. noamnety Sep 2012 #61
No matter how you duck it Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #64
You aren't making any sense. noamnety Sep 2012 #66
Twist and Shout Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #69
While you are at it, can you request an audit on your own school? noamnety Sep 2012 #72
A little more info on how charters here work: noamnety Sep 2012 #49
More uninformed bullshit. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #55
Yes, in this state the ratio of for profits is high. noamnety Sep 2012 #56
Let's have the name of your magical school. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #58
as i've repeatedly told you, with documentation, the non-profit designation means diddley in many HiPointDem Sep 2012 #83
No amnety, may I please make a suggestion? The Doctor. Sep 2012 #67
Yeah, I know you are correct. noamnety Sep 2012 #71
Why would anyone pay taxes for a local district to fund students attending school in another HiPointDem Sep 2012 #84
Do you think everyone can afford to move noamnety Sep 2012 #87
What strikes me as out of touch is throwing open the door to local taxes being sucked out of HiPointDem Sep 2012 #89
What if the system was reformed, though noamnety Sep 2012 #93
And your debating style Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #43
Every charter school I work with is a public charter school, with union teachers. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #100
In general, I could care less about the groups. JDPriestly Sep 2012 #9
I mostly OP to GD. I try to word the header in a way that will engage. Smarmie Doofus Sep 2012 #11
Why not start a thread about it? Starry Messenger Sep 2012 #17
There's no need to kill it - I don't believe it costs a lot to have it. mbperrin Sep 2012 #19
Don't fork it. Jakes Progress Sep 2012 #25
Well. Are you *happy* now????? Smarmie Doofus Sep 2012 #73
LOL. Starry Messenger Sep 2012 #74
I am able to discuss sulphurdunn Sep 2012 #77
I'm with you, and I actually work daily in a public school system. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #78
That's offensive. Many of us greatly value the thoughts of our retirees. proud2BlibKansan Sep 2012 #79
Your response is unwarranted. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #80
You have no idea how long any of the retired teachers here have been out of the system. proud2BlibKansan Sep 2012 #81
You don't know me. I don't know you. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #82
How does this comment... Reader Rabbit Sep 2012 #85
you know, old people, they don't know how to work an iphone so they don't know squat about HiPointDem Sep 2012 #90
And I know many who regularly volunteer in public schools... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #92
I agree with others here... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #91
That's unfortunate. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #94

I keep checking in on the group but it seems to have far fewer posts than the DU2 board had. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #96
We could just shut it down and, once again, silence the voices of... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #98
"once again"? NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #99
Not at DU. There is a much larger debate... YvonneCa Sep 2012 #101
