Betsy DeVos though much maligned championing the ability for choice in Education, seems to be right.
Charter and magnet schools are the best High Schools in America according to The Latest U.S. News List. I hope this will begin to put cracks in the power of the Teachers Union which in my view is holding back new ideas and better choices in good education for our kids. |

"BASIS Scottsdale, a charter school in Arizona, is the No. 1 public high school in the U.S."
Basis Scottsdale in Scottsdale, AZ | StartClass "The demographic breakdown of Basis Scottsdale is drastically different from that of a typical school in the state of Arizona, which is made up of 40.0% Caucasian students on average." " Large Achievement Gap between Ethnicities on the Math Exam Based on the difference in proficiency between Asians and African-American students (ethnicities with the highest and lowest math proficiency, respectively), Basis Scottsdale has not successfully minimized the disparity in math literacy among different ethnic groups. Though Caucasian students comprise the largest segment of the student body at Basis Scottsdale, they have achieved the second highest level of math proficiency out of the four ethnic groups represented at this school." "Very High Student Enrollment in AP Math Courses for Arizona a whopping 17% of students at Basis Scottsdale are enrolled in at least one AP math course during the school year, whereas the median across combination schools that offer AP math courses in Arizona is only 6%. Compared to the median of all reported combination schools in the nation (2%), the enrollment rate at this school is significantly higher than average." "Compared to the median across all reported combination schools in the US, this school has a lower participation rate of students who play on an interscholastic sports teams. US Average: 26%" " Much Lower Percentage of Students with Learning Disabilities 3% of all students at Basis Scottsdale are learning disabled, which is much lower than the median across all reported combination schools in Arizona (10%). This school's percentage of learning disabled students is much lower than the median across all reported all combination schools in the US (16%)." Scottsdale is also pretty white... They stacked the deck with Asian/white people in a nice mostly white place... |

Homeschooling over the years also worked very well for many families up here. The families that i know of were comprised of many well educated parents who would come together and share their knowledge by teaching some of the classes. At one point, they even started a school which produced some outstanding students who went on to higher education much better prepared than some of the students from our very highly ranked public school district. Unfortunately, we don't often hear much about these successes in the news. |

Yup...high crime = high percentage of minorities. They got their own school...where THEY got to pick who attends. Want a better school? Get rid of most of the minorities. It works for neighborhoods, towns, cities, countries...continents too. Homeschooling is from necessity...keep your kids away from the DANGEROUS minorities. Keep them away from standards that have been lowered TOO MUCH for white kids, who are bored to death WAITING for the minority kids to catch up. Keep them from the bad influences that the minorities bring with them. |

Arizona school data shows uneven distribution of ethnic groups | Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting Charter student populations don't match state demographics What the public isn’t told about high-performing charter schools in Arizona - The Washington Post http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/...arners-6462476 It's EASY to do well when you get to pick and choose your students...even allowing for mandatory quotas to minorities...you can pick from the top 1%...and even THEY fail to achieve what the whites and Asians can achieve. We're not all the same... You're being lied to... There is no equality... A quick trip to ANY MLK Blvd will show you that. You think THEY are your peers? You don't think much of yourself... |

A good parent looks out for their children and doesn't subject them to the horrors of a "diversified" school. They move. |

I have seen much worse internet abusers but really cannot understand why the Moderator did not boot this man off of TOTV all together a month ago. Don is very harmless except maybe to African-Americans and Hispanics who might read TOTV's Political Forum. And they would have every right to use their First Amendment rights as does Don Baldwin. Internet harassment is against State Law in Florida. |
