[QUOTE="Dale Carter, post: 545548, member: 59785"] Bill V - I fail to see where I contradicted my previous "hot air" regarding personal responsibility. Nice gratuitous insult. Your absolutely right, competition is a horrible idea. Much better that all of the people be forced into a school based on the housing that they can afford rather than voucher aided tuition. The good schools in the good part of town ALREADY get the cream of the crop, how will it be any different? Oh yeah, the MOTIVATED poor kids can escape to a GOOD school. How totally unfair of me. I'm such an elitist jackass by wanting the opportunity for those underserved kids. Financial incentive is fine, but how much would you have to pay a teacher at a nice suburban public school or parochial/private school to go to work in a war zone where they might be raped or murdered? How much to move from a nice city to a rural area without restaraunts and movies? What about the financial incentive to the poor schools? Perhaps fear of job loss would motivate some people to innovate? It has been done in those areas before. Schools faced with losing federal funding on a per student basis would innovate or die. Regarding impressive teachers, which is harder to improve a Ford Fiesta or a Mercedes S500? That last few percent of improvement is every bit as impressive from the teachers point of view. I am impressed by any teacher who inspires and improves a student. [/QUOTE]
