Ironically when I used to say that about the Metro I was told by several regular posters that the metro doesn't include KS as if a magical forcefield prevents me from going to a Royals game, Kaufman center, the zoo etc. because apparently my money spent there doesn't count.

We have some really really bitter insanely partisan folks around here that are still back in the civil war.

JoCo schools are better than urban KCMO schools. Just like suburban MO schools are better than KCK Schools. MO suburbs such as Park Hill, Liberty, NKC, Lee's Summit, Blue Springs etc, however do compare very well to Shawnee Mission, Olathe, Blue Valley etc.

JoCo people love to say that Kansas has better schools than Missouri based on JoCo vs KCMOSD. So let's turn it around. Missouri schools are better than Kansas based on Park Hill, Lee's Summit etc vs KCK.

It's really not that hard.

Want to compare some more apples to apples? Downtown KCK vs Downtown KCMO. BWAHAHAHAahaha....
Congratulations on KC's abiltiy to run a segregated school system in 2017. Kudos. Bigly kudos.

^Huh? That reply had absolutely nothing to do with the post you quoted.

I understand you still can't comprehend that you need to compare suburbs to suburbs and urban areas to other urban areas, but really?

Kansas Senate committee votes to make budget cuts, sends them to Senate floor | The Kansas City Star

The Department of Education would be hit the hardest by the cuts, with $128 million coming from the agency that oversees K-12 education in the state.

How can people keep denying that there is not a huge problem with the future of Kansas schools right now?

You used a double negative there. You say you were educated in Missouri? Hmmmm.


I don't see why they have to make up the shortfall from education funding, but I still think metro schools on the Kansas side are going to be just fine.


I do wonder why Kansas lottery money is going for economic development instead of public education, though. I vaguely remember when the case was being made for lottery sales in Kansas that it was said it would fund education. It's not being used for that.

With the constant cutting that the state has been doing to education funding and the cutting it continues to do, in order to maintain the high functioning school districts in JO CO, property taxes are going to have to rise to New Jersey like levels. That is, if the Kansas legislature will even allow the Jo Co districts to raise taxes at all, as a matter of fairness. News alert, the Kansas Conservatives are trying to bankrupt public education so that everyone has to home school or go private unless they want a lowest common denominator education. Just ask them, it is one of their core goals.


Of course Missouri is not far behind in rushing to cripple its public schools, but hopefully can learn from Kansas' bad example.

I RESPONDED to your post instead of telling you had no right to post. See the difference? Yours were troll posts. Mine is not.

Yep. They want to justify school vouchers.

I agree, Missouri is heading down the same road and I don't think conservatives are smart enough to learn from the mistakes of others. Southern states like OK, MS etc have terrible schools and general quality of life (very low insurance coverage etc), but they still keep wanting more of the same. We are currently taking all this extreme conservative stuff to the federal level by electing Trump and others. America is in trouble.

Nothing wrong with wanting to privatize education, in my opinion. Everything that is government run spends too much money and underperforms compared to private sectors. Look how inefficient the VA is compared to private hospitals. Look at railroad retirement compared to Social Security. Open schools up to competition, and I bet we have better education for less money. I'm not against keeping public education, I am just saying I can see the argument for vouchers.
