Baltimore City To Pay $1 Million To Recruit PTA Members !
Unfree State
Only a couple months after a Baltimore City school teacher was knocked to the ground and summarily set upon by a student holding her down and beating her unmercifully, Baltimore City Schools CEO Andres Alonso has managed to change the subject with the help of his main cheerleader the Sun.
This morning's gurgling piece of sugar-coated propaganda published by the once great newspaper, has a headline that reads, " Parents to help govern schools." The piece then goes on to paint a surrealistic, portrait of how the well-intentioned programs of the righteous educrates will work magic and change the thug culture in Baltimore schools that triggered and continues to trigger the massive exodus of black and white citizens from the city.
The article says it will work this time because Alonso's social engineering plans are backed by a $1 million in taxpayer's and private grant funding. To do what?
"To contract with community-based organizations, which would be charged with getting parents involved and forming PTAs in the many schools that don't have them."
Huh?
Where I come from we the parents do that ourselves and it doesn't cost anything but the love of one's child!
Meanwhile, not a word about the poor teacher who was beaten in the video above, nor any update on what happened to the so-called student who gave her the thrashing!

Alonso shows his true colors.
Throwing our money at the problem by giving it to people who just want to sit home without worrying what their kids are doing until the government checks show up.
There is absolutely NO return on investment here.
Alonso is a fully primed idiot.
Right. But with the help of the Sun, he has changed the subject and avoided tough questions.
This is why big government cannot be trusted to run an entire school system.
Each locality should be empowered to do the job, buy supplies and set the rate of pay for the employees. The money can be funneled through the state on the path of least resistance.
When those decisions are poorly made then no one is to blame but the parents which must be directly involved. If a student needs to be diciplined and the parent refuses to do so then he/she is out. That parent of the student in question will have to answer to the rest of the community. No charges of racism or favortism can me made upon those that act to the wishes of said community.
Just a thought....
warpmine,
If it were only so, parents and students could actually take responsibility for their own education -- like they do when they home school.
However, the big teacher unions don't want a system that actually tracks success and failure.
