		<description>Thanks for your write-up. My spouse and i have generally noticed that most people are needing to lose weight since they wish to show up slim along with attractive. Nonetheless, they do not often realize that there are additional benefits to losing weight in addition. Doctors claim that overweight people suffer from a variety of conditions that can be instantly attributed to their own excess weight. The good thing is that people that are overweight along with suffering from different diseases can help to eliminate the severity of their illnesses simply by losing weight. You'll be able to see a progressive but noticeable improvement in health if even a slight amount of losing weight is reached gywl512.</description>

		<description>You got it - we are in need of vouchers desparately! I sit on the board in a small private (Lutheran) school in Los Angeles. Our students are not from affluent families. These are hardworking, taxpaying, citizens, who sacrifice a huge amount of thier income to keep their kids out of LAUSD. They deserve to be commended for thier efforts and their recognition that thier (our) kids are our future. How can anyone deny that most private High Schools report 98% of their students graduate and go on to Universities! With 1-2% going to a junior college. We need to stop with the selfishness and believing this hurts the taxpayer and the public school system. We need vouchers - it would only benefit the public school system by relieving overcrowding, and at least let these children receive an education for alot less money (I believe avg. tuition in Los Angeles Private School is 4200.00 per year, although ours is alot less!) Our credentialed teachers make less than 20K with no benefits! These are dedicated people who are unselfish and have a mission to educate kids - thier pockets
aren't brimming but they don't complain. They see thier value and cannot turn thier
backs - most private schools often operate
in the red until they are forced to close 
or raise tuition which inturn purges those
who can barely afford it in the first place. Private schools in Los Angeles are closing at an alarming rate - but it's seldom reported. I have to wonder if it's a conspiracy. Pretty soon we won't have a choice. Only the rich will have private school. We cannot go back and educate the masses. Something needs to be done and now!
These kids are our future leaders and we are allowing them to become idiots!</description>

		<description>Recently, the New York Times ran an article on black men. It stated that among black high school dropouts in their 20s, the unemployment rate was 72%. Among Hispanic dropouts in their 20s, it was 19%. Anyone who lives around Hispanics knows that they almost always work, but many do not work in fields that require college. Some get educated on the job. Your point about vocational education is so important! I have read that up to 40% of our tradespeople will leave the job within 10 years. Who is going to replace them? The insance fixation on "college for everyone" is ruining the chances for a good future for lots of kids. I have 3 college degrees, including a grad degree, and a plumber makes more than I do. Another point - I often argue the voucher question with people who tell me that it's a "church-state" issue. How? We give federal student loans to kids in religious colleges. Also, the reason American universities do so well is because they compete! They compete for the best faculty and the best students. Competition forces them to do better than someone else. Imagine what would happen to education if schools competed for students! Oh, and one last point: no public schools = no school districts. That alone makes vouchers worth it.</description>

		<description>Let's take this back one step further:  Where does the Constitution of the United States give the federal government authority to get involved with education at all?  I can't find it in any of the enumerated powers, not even by any sane stretch of the imagination.

If schools are to be run by the public, it should be by the states, not the feds.  That said, would anyone in their right mind agree that public education has progressed in the last half-century?  Is it only me who sees the digression?  I think not.

If the feds were made to honor the separation of powers and get out of education, it would be that much more difficult for the NEA/AFT/AFL-CIO/etc. to keep their stranglehold on local schools, and it would offer the locals that much more chance to get into a free-market education system, with excellence rewarded and incompetence equally rewarded (negatively).</description>

		<description>Thank you for such a comprehensive article. I live in Texas (thank god) and have actually attended, and am still attending a great public school system. One of the decisions that my school district has chosen in recent years is the availability of a separate curriculum. One is the IB, international baccalaureate program, which is a more rigorous, very goal oriented, small class atmosphere. Another is the Vista program that allows students who have fallen behind to meet the minimum graduation requirements so they can receive their diploma. These separate divisions within the district help the cater to the needs of the individual, rather than the needs of the board members or district itself. And of course, they also have the divisions within the typical schooling environment, Basic/remedial, Regulars, Honors, and Gifted-- along with college level AP classes. The honors and AP level classes are smaller in size, which helps the students who are trying to succeed, and want the education.

Again, thanks for more insight on the problem--I knew it existed, but I couldn't find the ultimate source of the LA pandemic. For some reason, I always had the Unions and the illegals in mind. Both contribute, but the School Board-- pathetic.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you for such a comprehensive article. I live in Texas (thank god) and have actually attended, and am still attending a great public school system. One of the decisions that my school district has chosen in recent years is the availability of a separate curriculum. One is the IB, international baccalaureate program, which is a more rigorous, very goal oriented, small class atmosphere. Another is the Vista program that allows students who have fallen behind to meet the minimum graduation requirements so they can receive their diploma. These separate divisions within the district help the cater to the needs of the individual, rather than the needs of the board members or district itself. And of course, they also have the divisions within the typical schooling environment, Basic/remedial, Regulars, Honors, and Gifted&#8211; along with college level AP classes.
