Hey Joe, How did our “public” schools get to be so bad in the first place? Because they are run by government and unions. Why are private and parochial schools doing much better than public schools? Because families are doing the job in those schools that the government does in the public schools and there are no teachers unions. Everyone is accountable for their actions. The private and parochial schools only exist because of the exceptional job they perform. Wouldn’t that be considered “privatized”? Federal government has no place in our schools. State government should only have a small function with regards to our schools…No doubt your voting an agenda and not for any real support of students or families as usual.
It’s my prediction that Joe Donnelly WILL vote down his party line on anything Trump! Partisan!
“expanding access to early childhood education” – MO’ FEDERAL MONEY
“improving our public schools” – MO’ FEDERAL MONEY
“empowering student borrowers” – MO’ FEDERAL MONEY
“reducing federal student loan debt” – MO’ FEDERAL MONEY
“ensuring they (students) have access to good schools and teachers, not only
lays a solid foundation for our students to reach their potential, but also helps
increase economic opportunity” – MO’ FEDERAL MONEY
(economic opportunity? that’s called jobs/CAPITALISM, what good is an
education that there’s no job for?)
In D.C. it’s always about the money! As the Dem’s always say to any proposed
Republican Bill – “Where’s the money coming from to pay for this?” I pose that
question now. Senator, the only moneys you’re concerned about are the
contributions you’re getting from the teacher’s union.
Well, the campaign money he gets from the TU and the every payday stash he wants to spend from each of us.
Come on people, don’t you want the best person in charge of our kids and grandkids education?
Yes, and that person is not the government.
