However, do not waste your vital energies on fighting those evil colonizers. You well know that Choice, Vouchers, and Charter Schools will not solve the woes of Duval County Public Schools. There is one single problem - a lack of discipline by both parents and students. Those who are trying to exploit this pitiable situation will falter and the battle for God will be won. I taught at First Coast High School which I think, conservatively, is among the 5 worst Duval High Schools. And I can tell you that the worst disruptors call it a "Ghetto School", and they are the ones who say they are going to leave for Charter Schools. In fact, these kids should be encouraged to go to charter schools. This is how we will win the God Fight. Charters will keep closing and the colonizers who are trying to suck our taxpayers money will take flight to their astral gloom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-35746439939737554152014-03-14T16:29:10.689-06:002014-03-14T16:29:10.689-06:00When parents apply to go to the "good" s...When parents apply to go to the "good" schools and can't get in because those schools are at capacity, who thinks they'll merely curse their bad luck and stay at their neighborhood school? No, once moved to act, if they can't get into that DCPS school of choice, they're headed for a charter school. This plan has great potential to backfire. I think it will throw more schools into the struggling category and DCPS will close schools. Greg Sampsonhttp://about.me/gregory.sampsonnoreply@blogger.com
