a soultion for inner city schools
 

Why not all schools then?

haha....exactly. Thanks Grapesoda!!!! He's an asshole even when he's trying to not be. Now that's a real, gaping, grade-A asshole.

Most countries have the system where kids clean their classrooms (every week there is one or two people who are "on duty"). Not sure about corridors though.

I agree, and I also think kids getting free collage should be picking tomatoes in the summer for $6-$8 an hour....

Most likely the kids whose parents pay the school needs a summer job. Not the other way around.

Around here the "college" is free for everyone. Of course if you have some nuts and bolts loose, you can pay for it. I guess they will take your money if you are enough persistent.

Around here the unions would make sure this never happens.

Yep, the US should adopt any failed attempt at reform. No need to learn from history as we could just keep repeating these dumb ideas.

:thumbsup

good point :2 cents:

Because he's racist..

That's a good idea really....

School work
 

I sent my son to a small private school and they had janitorial duties. 30 kids no maintenance staff. Also it was you learned by your speed. No grades. You advanced by how good you were in any particular subject. If you were 10 and could do college math, you did college math.
Damn best young child system I ever saw.

I think that's a fantastic idea.

I sure would love a generation that doesn't litter. Some states have good litter cleanup programs, some do not. The sides of highways are vastly different when going state to state.

Some things that work in Japan might not work well in the USA because the Japanese aren't
going to use it in a racist way like targeting "inner city" schools only.

great idea...

assmonster and crockett, slapass, didn't read your post ... no need for a bunch of racist claptrap on such a nice day

You posted a racist thread and then tried to hide again.
Why don't you just stop posting your stupid daily racist shit here if you can't take the replies?

Pussy.

:1orglaugh

Why is this thread racist? Everybody knows that inner city school kids are the worst. Not talking about races there, but about behavior and so on.

I think Better if only the black kids do that.


edit : im kIDDING

exactly!

Reasons:

American kids are too fat to wipe their own asses properly much less clean a classroom.

Parents would complain about child labor.

Bust most of all:

Americans expect the government to do everything for you and they therefore come to depend on the government for everything...how else can these children learn that if they are actually shown that they can do something themselves?

we did those jobs :1orglaugh all the classes had closets with cleaning supplies. it rotated through the class. we had to beat the rugs on friday.

I think its an excellent idea to a limit.

Haha now if you state obvious facts such as that inner city schools tend to be in poorer condition and poor learning environments than other schools.... you're racist.

Funny stuff. Perfectly rational and reasonable.

they are as clean as the others here. where you live?? :Oh crap :helpme honduras?

so lets get this straight.... you're a Crip, a grandfather, you work for paypal and for some reason you your elementary, middle and high schools in Phoenix while claiming to love in Compton, though you have no children and maintain your own personal bee hives and build untraceable assault weapons and are a felon? ?

Sounds completely legit ... I can't believe you're not on the school board... probably not much time left over after your astronaut training and CIA missions and personally training SEAL Team Six

I hate all children equally.

He lives in his consertive lala land.. Where everything is stereotyped to fit his beliefs.

Even the the obvious irony of you stereotyping 1/2 of the nations voters as you accuse me of stereotyping and implying it's not only a negative but defining trait, escapes you... but you should focus on the road and stop texting from your living room / drivers seat anyway.

You left off owning a farm and spending time on the reservation while growing up. :1orglaugh

Where I live they are the worst. But I choose to live within the city limits, so my kids go to a charter school. Which it less than 5 years is testing the same students at twice the scores their peers in the city schools are scoring.

Well, when you are a hardened gangbanger from Compton, it's usually assumed that you are also a farmer that raises bees and spends significant amounts of time on Indian reservations. Or...?

No it doesn't escape me, I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm shoveling your shit back at you so you see the other side. I'm just treating you how you treat others and amazingly enough you don't like it.

the res part is my great gradmother who is full blooded apache. if you pay me $5,000 i will give you solid proof. the farm my grandfather owned it was given to me and my siblings.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You think "I don't like it"? Haha . There is nothing at alll that you can say to get a rise out of me. But keep telling yourself that I'm angry if bat helps you. You are a homeless, bitter, angry and extremist buffoon. When you post, I feel pity and sadness, not anger.

When I was in 5th and 6th grade we did just this. At the end of the day everyone had to grab a wet paper towel (the classroom had a small sink in it) and wash off the top of your desk. Each week some students were assigned to other jobs like sweeping the floor, cleaning a counter top etc. I'm not sure I learned anything from it, but then again I am someone who has respect for things and wouldn't vandalize or damage the school in the first place.

Wouldn't we be better served to instead have them spend their summers working (maybe as interns or for a low wage) for companies that are in the field they are studying? For example, if they are studying to be an engineer, have them work somewhere like Intel, HP or some other tech company. They do low level intern type work, but they are exposed to what they are learning about and might get to be involved in some cool stuff that is actually in their field.

This way when they graduate they have some real world work experience in their chosen field which will help them get that good job.

That is also done here in Korea. The kids take turns cleaning the classroom at the end of the day.

less fun .

The don't clean their own houses so what makes you think they will at school?

Ou school system is all about learning.. There is no time for cleaning

Our school system is about substandard performance, blaming a lack of funding in spite of continually adding billions to spending on education and enriching unions while making it impossible to fire bad teachers, so they don't have time for cleaning either.

"a soultion for inner city schools"

This would surely emphasize the equality. :)

Nobody likes talking about the fact that it costs more to teach a child in public school than in private/charter schools.

I wonder why that is... hmm...

I wonder some backing up for this fact?

Whatttt??? Really?

It's always amusing to see our nations educators lining up to fight against a better way of educating

Everything is free from kindergarten to university. Being free means that it is paid by taxes. Schools are mixture of a public and private schools in the sense of ownership, but practically we don't have private schools in the same sense as in some countries.

You should be able to view schools financials on your state website.

2013/14 school year for my daughters school cost 5,806,373 to run for 331 students.

So roughly 17.5k per student.

I am Finnish, if you don't yet know that. :)

But to the question in hand; I thought more like some study.

I knew you were something, I just forgot what or where.

Most of my property taxes do go toward the elementary school here. Charter schools are free for children to attend, but are privately funded and will (in my experience) tolerate a wholeeeee lot less bullshit.

Maybe Sly knows of a study since it seems to be of interest to him.
