Privatization brings in more corruption and graft with planners and
administrators. I guess what you're saying is, in private schools you
wouldn't get as many blacks and hispanics infesting the good schools.
Wouldn't it be nice to get your kid out of a ghetto school? Private
means big money, public means low cost - like the health care.
Racism prevails in the US throughout all walks of life. It is
disguised quite well these days but it comes out in education,
healthcare, justice, and every other institution. Privatization is
exactly what the school system does already have - it is a weeding-out
process of the good from the bad and sadly, of the wheat from the
bran, to be classed and stamped as such on your future. Any fool can
see a kid from money gets the best of the best, so why not keep junior
at home with a tutor? Go the whole nine yards for your budding,
elitist, future-businessman.
And if you don't have the money to give junior a leg-up socially and
educationally, then you can cry out for more demarcation of students
based off their race, er I mean intelligence.
I am a half breed Indian. Now I know why I can't stand myself half the
time. I got the "good" education alright, but it was just a matter of
memorizing, not understanding anything. Take a test, pass it by
remembering and you do good.
How can an honor-role student forget about so much valuable education?
I guess its because you become a moneymaker and not a repository of
unused knowledge.
How else could so many people have voted for Bush?
