Answer please.

A far right wing plan to weaken and possible destroy the working class in America gets support from far right extremists who share those far right goals.
J, we're talking about someone who uses the word Marxist. Seriously, this is not valid or honest discourse. And it is dishonest no matter who uses it.
J, if you believe both are required you argue for both. Has nothing to do with belief.
J, you can't be serious or siginificant if you use terms like Marxist and communism. There is no way around that. It is unoriginal and silly to go down that old worn down path. Sorry.
Says you....But then again who are you?

(CNN) -- In a budget-cutting move likely to be echoed around the country, Milwaukee Public Schools said Wednesday it will lay off 519 staff members -- including 354 teachers -- because of $84 million in state cuts and the system's efforts to control costs.

Cuts have consequences.

Sucks for the students and in turn, the future of the country. They should cut funding for testing instead, that would be more productive.

Yep. I am at least one of the people talking to you. But, when you spew terms that don't aplly, like Marxist and communism, as nothing done meets the defintion of those terms, you cannot expect to be taken seriously. Sorry. :coffeepap

When those federal dollars dry up, they dry up. Shame on states for relying on it so much.
What's truly sad is that there is no need to cut teachers. It's the school administration staff that is vastly overbloated. Layers and layers of bureacracy that do nothing, but of course, their jobs won't be sacrificed, just the teachers.
So too does mismanagement of public funds.

How about having a real plan to address those issues?
Apparently not, no. :coffeepap
no, quite the contrary
in kaukuana, thanks to mature and sober planning, the kids in the classroom have remained untouched as the district's huge deficits turn instantly into surpluses
teachers started kicking in to their health care and pensions, the district became freed up to look for better coverage, teachers teach 6 classes instead of 5, work an extra 2.5 hours per week...
class size in kaukauna is going DOWN
and as for the future of the country, these days it's bottom line
plans, anyone?
solutions?
argumentation?
Hey Prof .. you might just as well give up on this .. it doesn't fit in with the unwaivering need to trash Walker and Republicans …. where ever and when ever there is a success story … Liberals will deny or ignore it ..
you just have to accept the only plan that works .. is to tax and spend .. that is the only fix they have ever known .. and the only fix they will ever know.
Kinda of passing along mis information are you boo ... as I believe there are still unions in Wisconsin aren't there ??? Glad to see you manage to get off the high road .. and down in the gutter of lies as well .
You know, all I really want is proof positive that our education system is serving our kids then neither myself or many other people would be complaining so much about the cost. I am sure things need to be simplified. I think we need more alternative schooling within the system, and I mean separate schools that help kids that get lost in these large schools, mind numbing bureaucracies, block scheduling and 90 minute classes. I think a lot of kids would benefit from a simpler approach with more teachers in the classroom and less people shuffiling papers.
The districts that planned, aren't cutting teachers. Instead they are adding teachers in addition to giving an extra class to the teachers, resulting in reduced class sizes.
Districts that wanted to protect the unions and ignore reality are having to cut teachers. You'll have to talk to them to find out why they made the decisions they made.
However, the reduced teachers and increased class sizes (in the case of MPS) will only be for 2 years. in 2 years when the contract they (incredulously) signed expires, they will be able to reduce class sizes again.

No, it doesn't address the complaint, the objection. Now, he or you could try and do that, which would be a nice change.
I don't believe we said there wasn't. The comment was more along the lines of the effort was suppose to keep teacher jobs. This was not done.
Oh really ??? here is exactly what was said ..
"Didn't the Wisconsin governor bust up unions to prevent thse types of cuts? "
your reply "Apparently not, no "
Now what union was busted .. . gonna answer . . or continue with your lies ..
okay you go first for a change .. how do you account for other districts "not laying off teachers" and one district going from a deficit .. to a surplus under Walkers plan ?
