Now I know you have a special place in your heart for teabaggers right next to the spot you reserve for any airport bathroom activities, but even you have to admit that ignorance is not limited to teaparty members.

Look, variable rates so they can plunge the next generation into bankruptcy and make it impossible to get an education, probably in the hope that they will be feebleminded enough to vote for teabaggers.

Creating the next generation of welfare patients.

well from what I have heard low income families tend to vote democrat so if that's their plan I don't hold out much hope for it.

Well, the way I heard it, if they can keep them uneducated, they can train them to be teabaggers.

That's about as close to 100% incorrect as possible.  States with low income and poor educational systems almost invariably go for the R side.  Texas seems to recognize this as it is part of the party platform that "Critical Thinking Skills" should no longer be taught in the schools.  Indoctrinate them and have them march to your drummer.

Please go back to second grade and learn the difference between a "State" and a "city"

Really? you want to argue semantics because the last time I looked Detroit and Chicago were located in states, and both of them have piss poor public school systems.

This one's for ron... Funny, not one Texas school is listed in the 25 worse schools in the US.

Worse 100 schools in the US... Again, Dallas isn't listed, but Chicago made #1

Hmmm, looks like ABC has a beef with the Detroit pubic school system.

Funny, worst schools?  in what way are they the worst?  Not according to any objective citation, a couple of fughazi sites in your first two. and the abc one is a little yellow journalism.  It wont quite cut it as realistic.

It's not semantics. It's a total lack of reading comprehension on your part.

I said STATES with poor educational systems tend to vote Republican
You mentioned 2 cities with poor educational performance.

If you'd like to see the difference in educational levels in nice graphical form by STATE, here is the link

Note the top 7 states and the bottom 7 states respectively.

That was an interesting bottom 25 schools list.
10 of the 25 were in 1 state. South Carolina.

I dont spose car plant closings had much to do with it.   And it is yellow journalism.  You didn't read the article thru, did you?

I spent alot of time in Lansing, and alot of time in Detroit.  Yeah, it sucks. South Carolina?  Texas?  very conservative and sucks.

quote:


Yellow journalism, or the yellow press, is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.

Detroit has been participating in the NAEP test but this is the first time the city's individual results have been reported. Sixty-nine percent of Detroit children scored below basic level on fourth grade math and 77 percent of Detroit eighth graders scored below basic. The state appointed emergency financial manager Robert Bobb said no school district in the 40 year history of the test has ever registered such low number. “This is an abysmal situation,” he said. “Today is a sad day for the city of Detroit. It calls on all of us to express our outrage.” There were no measurable fourth graders at the advance level in math, 3 percent were proficient, 28 percent were basic. Among eighth graders, there were no measurable students at the advanced level, 4 percent were proficient and 18 percent were basic.
