Probably not. You just see them on tv.

Don't be ridiculous. Now I am being snarky, how old are you?

But middle class minorities are not the problem; they're doing just fine. Our inner city communities, however, are in dire need of help.

Fine, I'm not up on what is politically correct terminology. Go to downtown Baltimore, SE Washington, parts of Alexandria and tell me there isn't a problem. Look around, there are failing schools all over the place, so why not allow school choice? Because Democrats want to keep them down and dependent.

But y'all keep defending her. This latest came from Anthony Weiner's and Huma Abedin's devices.

No, because people want accountability and transparency and don’t want to turn neighborhood schools over to for-profit charter operators to put money in the pockets of people like Donald Trump.

Never mind. I’m not going to argue with a Trumpist who doesn’t even appear to live in Northern Virginia (Lynchburg? Seriously? Why are you all over this board?) Thanks for the motivation to give more $$$ to the politicians who are (for the most part) attempting to live on the right side of history.

With charter schools you DO HAVE accountability. If the parents aren't pleased, they leave, schools close, and there is your accountability.

Any guesses how much more difficult it is to get accountability into a school or a whole school district? When a school or schools are under performing, the only viable option that takes less than5 years is to move.

Which is the better option again for students and this that want quality education?

Picked the user name a few years ago. Live in Western Loudoun, but really, what's it to you where I live. It concerns the whole state/country.

Well DSHAWG, I've found a new respect for Hillary. Turns out one of the emails released from WikiLeaks has her staff mad at her for being constantly drunk at 2pm. I kinda like that, I hope one day I can be hammered at that time of day on a Tuesday


All kidding aside, the next week events will determine if I do go vote for her, I like Tim Kaine enough to vote him into the white house if she were to win then be removed

Considering how many times she's called me names and accused me of lying, I'm guessing she's about 19 and believes she has all the answers after her first year of community college.

I live in VA. Tim Kaine is a reason not to vote for Hillary. If Hillary wins, Virginians will be cheering because Kaine is out of here.

Tim Kaine has won every election he's run in Virginia. Perhaps you only have George Allen's "real Virginia" - which has no electoral votes - in mind.
