If you think that I am a racist because I think that troubled inner city youth doesn't spend a lot of time in high scholol, so be it. IMHO you are plain ignorant....stick your head in the sand and think good thoughts and the problems of the world will go away!

This is naz http://www.nuveen.com/ They invest in municipal utilites and services. You basic urban rail system takes money from inner city people trying to get to work and puts it in the pocket of fund investors. But it's OK to make nasty remarks about local congressional representatives...as long as the fund "generates revenue". While I have noting against people making a buck, taking tax money to build up public services is a different issue, IMHO. If they "make money" that money should go back to the taxpayer, not to "investors". So who's got nazi on the brain?

You were the poster citing inner city youth as a group staying away from school without sense of reporting percentage. Do you really think all inner city youth stay away from school? 80%? 40%? If you can't understand how people will read this as you stereotyping a group of people, then I find it hard to believe you are well regarded as an instructor. B. Martin

Many folks originally from Mississippi went elsewhere for college and many others from other states are employed in the state. Equating living in Mississippi with an inferior mind-set or intellectual capabiity says more about your limitations than it does about anyone in Mississippi. Note that for most of the country, the reputation of Georgia in education is little better than Mississippi. Every state education system has its defenders and its critics. I currently live in Minnesota, which has a stronger reputation than Tennessee where I lived just before moving to Minnesota. I am less satisfied with the Minnesota schools than Tennessee schools in the development of problem solving skills, outside the box thining, and other areas. Many of the states with good reputations are bogged down with "teaching to the test" for the purpose of scoring high on nationally-normed achievement tests, such as the Terra Nova. These reanking data do not prove anything about the true quality of the education product. B. Martin B. Martin |
