Ok, Now since this is the fall back position of yours that you seem to have been using for years now when you can't have a rational discussion on the facts. I want you to document for me, when was the last time that I used any of the three sources you mention as anything other than opinion, and when I last used them period!
If you are not going to have an honest discussion on the topic, then don't respond. Thanks.
J, the fact is you have. I'm not going to go looking as you cherry picked on this.
I am not missing the point at all, please show me the methodology, and how your study starts out with a purely objective hypothesis and we can go from there. But so far all you are offering is a giant 'Nuh uh' as rebuttal, completely refusing to even consider other studies on the subject that disagree with your study's conclusions.
You can follow the links as easily as I can. I only have a few moments right now, but if you need help, I'll do it for you when I get back. Both both methodolgies are explained. You should ahve more trouble with the one you like.
As did I Joe.
You seem to have ignored what followed, which shed don't on the part you quoted and supported the main theme.
No, and I don't think I am cherry picking, rather pointing out how it was your initial posting that chose to highlight only that which agreed with your defense of Unions in the public school systems.
No, I highlighted the major point of the entire article. I dare you to show I did not. Notice the title.
So, if my opinion doesn't agree with yours on this subject, then it must be that either my academic pedigree, ability to comprehend, ability to read the entire pap you offer, or simply because of some other dishonest approach to the debate. No, it could never be that your words here offer little more than text book projection on your case that shine sunlight into your own thought processes concerning the subject.
Not what I said. I think you're quite bright, but drown yourself in partisan nonsense which is grounded in your specific world view. Instead of seeking to have your belief reaffirmed, read to learn something.
That Politician is the guy you voted for in 2008, and likely will again next year...:lamo
Come on Joe, face it. Unions in the public sector have little to do with real education, and more about indoctrination, self preservation of the teacher, and generally poor quality education at the expense of the tax payer.

As I've told you for years, who the politician is doesn't matter at all. You can't ignore studys because of what ANY politican says.
