Actually Obama said we should be able to fire bad teachers, but I don't know how serious he was about that. But shouldn't your pal Waxman get on the case? He does represent part of LA.Quote:

In many cases it isn't rocket science. Back to the LA school system for a moment . This week they are bragging that their graduation rate in their high schools went up to 66% .
LAUSD graduation rate increases to 66% - LA Daily News
That of course means that 34 % of their students failed to graduate . And that result is obtained with enrolled students and doesn't count the ones who have dropped out along the way.
But that didn't stop them from setting up a pilot program where they siphon state education $$ for the purpose of training students to become community activists in support of Obamacare.

Well actually the mandate isQuote:
training students to become community activists in support of Obamacare.
But you can try to spread FUD about it I guess. It's what you do.Quote:
"With coverage starting in 2014,
Covered California will help individuals compare and choose a
health plan that works best for their health needs and budget.
Financial help will be available from the federal government
to help lower costs for people who qualify on a sliding scale.
Small businesses will be able to purchase competitively
priced health plans and offer their employees the ability to
choose from an array of plans and may qualify for federal tax
credits. Covered California is an independent part of the state
government whose job is to make the new market work for
California's consumers."
I stand by what I said. No doubt these students will get course credit for this too.
Nope, they don't. Wrong again.
I can't respond to the course credit claim but it wouldn't surprise me. It's not FUD to point out that LAUSD is training kids to be government propagandizers and using school staff to promote a government message when they should be teaching math.Quote:

One in three Los Angeles students never graduates high school.
The district listed adult education students, part-time, and contract employees as its target population. Teens will be trained to be messengers not to those groups, but to their own families, to get more people enrolled in taxpayer-subsidized healthcare.
If the project is successful, Los Angeles families can expect more use of students to push government-preferred messaging.
“Teens are part of a ‘pilot’ program to test whether young people can be trained as messengers to deliver outreach and limited education to family and friends in and around their homes,” said Gayle Pollard-Terry, a LAUSD spokesman, in an email. “Teens will be educating adults that they already know (e.g., family or friends) and not other adults.”
You can choose for yourself to be ignorant of the options and opportunities of the new health care law, but don't get mad because they choose not to be. Especially if they have to help older members of their family navigate the system.
Apparently you don't see the irony in complaining about the exploitation of children in one post and supporting it in the next.Quote:

Where are they exploiting children or getting course credit?
No one has claimed definitively they will get course credit. It's called sarcasm, something you have great difficulty discerning, also the usage of words like "exploitation."Quote:

The California Council of Churches and Catholic Charities of California got grants as well. Better start the outrage machine!
Organizing and voting for a better community is a good thing. Maybe the will have a better school because of it, and not be exploited by a corrupt politician.Quote:

They get tax exempt status already, so don't be greedy. Use some of that not for profit hospital money.
You just never do get the point do you? Always dissing on others is all you do.Quote:
