My solution to Californias Budget crisis.

Quote from peilthetraveler:

Cut the real problem. Education. They spend 39 billion per year on higher education of which 13 billion comes from the state. Why? Dont students pay ridiculous amounts of money to go to college? Or is it all the free rides they give to the A students with scholarships? If those students are so smart they can figure a way to pay for college themselves. I mean if the D students can find a way, surely the A students can too.

And Cut k-12 too. 61 billion per year (40 billion from state funds) is way too much. I mean 40% of the budget is going to education? I dont even spend 40% of my budget on my housing! No more than 10% MAX of the budget should go to education. If parents want smarter kids, they can fork out the money to pay for it themselves. All kids need to know is Reading, writing, and math. Everything else should be considered luxury education and paid for out of pocket by parents or taught at home. But no...schools are basically glorified day cares teaching stuff that 90% of will never be used and that 90% of worthless stuff being taught will be forgot by the time they finish High school anyway. (dont believe me? Just watch the show are you smarter than a 5th grader)


There...30 seconds and i just saved CA 50 billion dollars (and probably a few 100 billion for the federal.) Make me Governor now.

I would disband public education and get vouchers for them to go to private schools.

Cali spends something like $13k a student. You can go to a great private school for half that if you introduced competition into the system.
 
Quote from dewton:

the point of the free public education system is not only to teach, but to guide students... learning by yourself without a guide / mentor, while still a child, is only possible for child geniuses... and even geniuses can be lead astray, work for Citibank, and rob poor nations and submit these countries into debt slavery for the next 4,000 years.

put a 5th grader in the library without a mentor, and he isn't going to know WHAT or HOW to learn. he might spend the next year wasting his time on star trek novels, without even knowing he's wasting his time. yes, k-12 students need to be spoon fed, even forcefed, because they don't know whats good for them. they're not adults.

which brings me to my next point, argentina... libya... debt slavery... citibank... the game is heavily rigged financially against the population. we see entire nations submit into debt slavery with citibank, which is the biggest reason why countries like these are in the dumps. often times, the country tries to break free, only to have the leaders assassinated.

Public education has no business raising kids. That's the parents job.
 
Ever wonder why no recent president - neither Republican or Democrat ever really addresses the illegal citizen issue?

1. Food Costs - migrant workers are very cheap - though I would agree that the cost in healtcare, police, etc.. ultimatley shifts the cost to society in other ways.

2. Natonal Security - remittances to Mexico by migrant and other illegal workers are what is holding up that corrupt country. Without the flow of those dollars south of the border, we would have the equivalent of Iraq on our southern border. Illegal workers in the US ultimately pay those Mexican bonds. Remember the peso crisis? There has also been a flood of illegals ever since. See the connection?

3. Political reasons - the Latin American vote.

As for Education - I think it's a bloated scam. Either kids want to learn, or they don't - and only the parents can force that. Sure there is a baseline on what a school will cost - but it means nothing without parent involvement. Other countries spend less, but you know what? Those kids spend hours more a night at home reading those same friggin math and science books.
 
Peil's got a good point.
Just stop public education, NOW. It's like the war on drugs, a sham. I taught 7th and 8th grade for 5 years, and it's like stacking fleas. Force feeding a young person information they don't want is an exercise in futile wastefullness.
School boards spend millions on bldgs, when tilt-a-wall or metal bldgs are the answer. These huge monuments to mammon cost us all untold millions to heat, cool and repair.
Stupid.
Curriculum is a scam, and the people making $$ are the Ed.D's and PhD's who don't give a shit what's in the book...
Speaking of books, why not use those USMC laptops that are sand/water/bullet proof, getting the software for free? Laptops are bolted to the desks, and there's no homework. You PRODUCE in the 6 hrs you're in skool, and then GO HOME.
No sports after skool, no band, choir, hell with that shit.
How many guys do you know are making a living playing trombone? Sure, some gals make a living showing their crotch cuz they learned how to do that in some dance class at skool, but how long can that career last?
So, for all the graft and idiocy in public education, shut it down. Stop the bleeding.
Libraries are still free.
 
Libraries may be free, but employers want to see formal education on a resume. "I studied at the library in my spare time" isn't good enough.

Somewhere along the way, a college degree became a minimum requirement to land a job that pays a livable wage. Pretty soon you're going to need a PhD in order to wipe your own ass.

I know that skilled trades are the exception, but those jobs usually go to somebody's brother in law.
 
The FED & STATE governments should also STOP supporting/encouraging so many fools to have 3-4-5-6 kids!

It's a HUGE drain on resources and other taxpayers. You have people with sometimes NO kids paying for the education & welfare of others with 5-6!

That's not a fair system!
 
'There...30 seconds and i just saved CA 50 billion dollars (and probably a few 100 billion for the federal.) Make me Governor now.'

Cuntdrops! education is what turns nations into superpowers. US is no exception. Now wasting budget into some real cuntdrop type program is one thing but merely teaching folks to read, write and math and then send them fending for ownself would be creating one big FREE PRISON.

:D
 
Teacher pay is not the problem - administrator pay is!

I don't have data on California, but I am guessing it is still very high. In my state, Illinois, we pay our administrators hundreds of thousands for District Superintendents.

Teaching for 21 years, Neil Codell, of Niles Township High School, made $411,511 for being a District Superintendent. I have no doubt these people do just as much as or even less than the teacher making $50,000 or $75,000.

The guy in my district, Dennis Kelly, is #4 in Illinois and made $342,075 last year.

Unbelievable, cut the pay to $125k max and you can solve part of any budget crisis.
 
Well, you got the white part right. But I don't take drugs and I have girlfriend.

I don't understand why someone can be for legalization even if they don't do drugs.

However, from your statements on this thread, I can tell you are a boy lover but you are not for equal rights for gays since you are still living in the closet.


Quote from peilthetraveler:

Just by these few statements i can tell that oraclewizard is an angry, non-smoking, white male that is a chronic masterbaiting, drug addict, that cant get a girlfriend.
