Every president has a signature educational initiative. We're in the third year of Trump's presidency and have yet to see any new policy. What gives?

"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

It is nowhere near the purview of the President's job to have an educational initiative.

answer to subject line question: Twitter

answer to body content - I don't know if every president has a signature educational initiative, but if true, they must have mostly sucked either in design or implementation.

Let private business grab some of the money that goes to public education.

Big business hates all the money that goes into public education.

We all know what we hate.

We just don't know what we want.

Those were click baits for his groupies. Nothing about Trump actual is either of those.

There’s a speech of young Bush (throwing you guys an easy one here) talking about education and what should be done that’s actually phenomenal.

Aside from the voucher stuff and the standardized testing, his platform wasn't horrible. Barry was Basically GWB but with more standardized testing and more charter schools. Charter schools are fvcking over countless school districts.

The value of education can only be as high as the value that a community places on it. And the problem with America is that we know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

But most of them DO have educational initiatives, especially the ones who are big on domestic policy. OK, fine, most presidents during the past 119 years have had educational initiatives.

Cerritos Offers Free Tuition for Two Years
Be nice if DogTown's Santa Monica College did this too!!!
Wonder what Donnie Trump thinks about this?
Socialism???:

Quote:
Cerritos College really wants students to graduate. In addition to bringing back two years of free tuition, the program also boasts step-by-step help to make sure students graduate.

The college announced Tuesday it was bringing back its Promise Program.

The program is aimed at helping high school seniors smoothly transition into college while saving money, figuring out what they want to do, and and following through with graduation.

To qualify, students must be a graduating high school senior or have completed a high school equivalency exam.

With the program, students get:
Two years free tuition (at in-state rates)
* Two years of priority enrollment
* Step by step assistance
* One-on-one counseling and advisement
* College preparedness
* Career exploration
* Personalized schedules for fall and spring semesters
~snip~



What would Donnie say?
Hmmmm...
question

I think spending a lot on education makes sense but just pumping money into public schools which are run by idiots is dumb

How would you deal with the task of providing public education, B?

We all know what we hate.

We just don't know what we want.

Vouchers

Not because I think the average private school is necessarily better, but more to create competition

Public schools have no consequence for failure

If their income stream could walk away, they would improve

No consequence for failure? When I was in school if you failed you got held back, you didn't pass you didn't finish that grade. That is just one example. Has something changed?

You seem extremely pent up lately Billy.

Another hiatus would do you some good.

I was hoping you would come up with some interesting solution that I hadn't thought of.

You've gone full retard on this one.

I think we can all agree that if diversity were better funded and coordinated that would solve a lot of problems, even if we have to invent problems to be solved.

Have vouchers ever been tried on a large scale?

People always trot out the old "vouchers" trope whenever these discussions come up. I doubt many even understand what a voucher is, nor do they understand the unintended consequences that would accompany them.

In my opinion, they would increase the amount of money given to private and religious schools and they would exacerbate the existing inequities in our public education system. Affluent families would end up competing for seats in the best schools while the have-nots would have to settle for worse schools. Things would stay the same or get worse.

You should read the Jersey Jazzman's twitter and blog posts about school funding. I think he's a researcher in that field and has some great insights.

it's also interesting that you fail to bring up the #1 most important factor that determines a school's and a student's success: PARENTS.
