It is no secret that one of the main reason parents put their kids in charter schools is they want them exposed to fewer drug dealers. But if you put that in an advertisement then you lose your job. |

Heck one local school got its attendance up 90 percent just by installing a laundromat for all the unwed mothers (you wan't your daughter in that school???). Alot of the fear of drugs is cop generated and school generated ... why shouldn't they play on such fears. Maybe are teachers are no betterand no worse, but we can FIRE them, the schools can't even have the principal in their room except on day a year and he has to give ten days written nlotice to the union first. Its all fear and lies generated. What isn't. |

Nationwide, between charters and home schooling, parents are voting with their kids since their real vote keeps getting ignored. The President is a fink. |

There was no safety net then, you worked or you became a bum. Living with your parents till you were 35 wasn't an option. Now kids choose unemployment as a career option. Welfare, food stamps, living in their old bedroom till their 40 even if they get a degree. Even white girls are taking their fatherless kid and letting grandma raise it, just like blacks have been doing for 50 years. Meanwhile we have a crisis coming in a lack of skilled labor. Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, all once considered good family raising jobs are now looked at by Millennials as beneath them. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Today's Headlines
In July the Charter school said it had enrolled 220 students and was hoping to get 300. Obviously someone felt a last ditch effort was needed. Hypothetically, what would happen if the Charter school had released a flyer, by pulling figures from a website, and listing the equivalent figures from the enrollment to date.
Would that be unethical. You know that people look at those websites when buying homes. Here is another high school 9.3 miles away
