You're right - you are 2sleepy.



Magritte, you wouldn't be asking if you had read the article. They can include family meetings, grade criteria, a written essay done by the student.

The article even states that Charter Schools have thrown hundreds of students out. It's not a situation where anyone can go and do the same thing they're doing in the public school system while the teacher tries to work with the problem students.

This isn't To Sir With Love.
I'm asking because I know you are wrong.

Because every child has the right to a good education, regardless of how wealthy their parents are. And because if you're a patriot, you not only understand how crucial a good education is to all of the country's children, in terms of the country's future, you also do what you can to ensure it.

Like not keeping kids trapped in horrendously under-performing public schools? Look at the NAEP data I posted. Think that's happening by accident? It's FAR more likely that wide-spread institutional racism is being used as a weapon/tool by Dems to keep minorities highly disproportionately under-educated, and therefore poor, on public assistance, and consequently lifelong Dem voters.

In your utopia, you'd have:

No police
No firefighters
No road maintenance
No sewer system
No electrical service
No garbage pickup

Tell me, what countries live in such a way and are successful?

Police is the job of the government.

The rest existed long before government existed.

It’s a fundamental moral issue. We may need to agree to disagree. You believe it is acceptable to murder others for their money. I don’t.

You keep spouting this hyperbolic canard, but it just isn't true. Last I checked, not one person has been killed in the United States for not paying taxes, at least if they didn't try to shoot at the people attempting to arrest them for being tax cheats

How many people would not give up their properties when you hold a gun on their heads?

Last time I checked over 40 million were murdered by their government for their property. Would you like to see that here in America?

Money is not property for starters. And second off, the government BY LAW has a right to the tax money it collects. So the tax cheat is the bad guy even though you see him as some Noble hero

You don't like it, try to get the laws changed or lead a coup to destroy the government. Until then, you are the odd man out

I do like hyperbolic canard. Filed away for each time the loopy libertarians use it.

But in fact when cornered the libertarians agree they will use physical force to protect the liberty of the individual from an aggressor. They actually have no other solution to handling those who violate the rules.
