Most teachers and administrators have a 12 month salaried contract that pays them through snow days, etc. My guess is they get paid whether working or not. Many schools are working with Zoom or other software, teaching online. Typically 85% of school budgets are payroll. Coaches...

Think of the great service private schools are doing for the entire state! They are giving over 13% of our kids great educations at a significant savings to taxpayers.

So, at least the best students in public schools who transfer to private schools really do better than the students at the public schools they left. Typical of public schools to lie about private, and particularly religious, schools. That applies in athletics and academics. While top students...

You’re the one!

It’s not consistent at all. You can’t say private schools take the best students, and also say they do worse on tests. Private schools consistently do a great job of preparing good students for tests (and life, for that matter). They generally are not good at vocational and special needs...

So my kid is forced to stay in such a situation because I’m too poor to send her to private school, where they don’t have such obstacles to teaching?

I see. They’re the smartest ones, but do worse on standardized tests. Consistency of talking points isn’t your strength.

Each voucher takes a small amount of money from your kid’s school, but it also relieves your school of a much larger amount of expense. That’s a huge benefit to your kid’s school! Why would you be against that?

Only if it’s incremental. From the whining you would think it’s the only way privates survive, while driving publics to bankruptcy.

It costs much more than the voucher amount to educate a student. For just voucher students, getting less than $7,000 for each kid on a voucher when it costs over $10,000 to educate that kid saves the public school over $3,000. Per voucher. In addition, private schools are doing public schools...

Your team must have slipped on last season - twice!

So, what we should do is take all kids down to the lowest possible level because a lot or even most are more comfortable there, and condemn a lot of kids to failure? Why not give kids who want out a chance?

That’s hilarious! Crying is what brought on the wonderfully dishonest CBP, and it wasn’t GCL schools doing the crying!

Congratulations to TM! Fantastic achievement, showing great coaching, community support and player buy-in. Talent, discipline and a lot of heart showed through the whole game. The Rams will remember lessons from overcoming a lot of adversity their whole lives. Much success to all of you in...

Excuses from a school with over 2500 students? Can’t find 20 or 30 players? My Knights didn’t meet their own expectations, but did enough to get to the regional semis. That’s the final 4 of 27 mostly larger schools, in a final 8 that contained half of our league. Birds, you’ve always been...
