Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

You want me to pick two schools in the whole united states to compare their demographics and if the lower income school does better it proves my point?
How bout this, I've shown proof and a source that shows how much we're spending in schools and how much other countries are spending, all provided by the OECD, a very reliable organization.
How about you provide any source showing that with low income schools we don't provide the funding per full time student comparable to other countries, and/or that education proficiency is directly related to spending.
Once again, you're thinking is wrong. I explained to you exactly what the OECD said - that we spend more per FTE than any of our peer countries, and by a substantial amount. Did I say I wanted to defund schools? No, I said that we can't keep throwing money at the system and expect it to be fixed. See this is what you do, you don't have any sources, statistics or any information, you just think any criticism of a government organization is a 'conservative viewpoint' and therefore baseless.
I provided sources to back up my claim, you should do the same or I don't want to waste time on you.
No I’m not wasting my time on someone that thinks defunding education is a good idea. Don’t you have a trump rally to be at?
Hahaha see exactly, I can provide as much information on the topic about how we spend so much money per student in our country, and our peer countries are spending 30% less but having better results, from a reliable, liberal approved OECD.
You're being willingly ignorant, you refuse to accept facts from reliable international organizations because you refuse to acknowledge that the way the left wants to deal with the problem doesn't make sense.
You say 'no we need more funding! Shut up you're wrong, you're saying something that may have some sort of conservative leaning! You hate kids'
You provide no information of why people should believe your stance. What are you doing man? Look into issues and try to understand them before you spout off about shit you don't know. Whenever you talk trash about how the MAGA folk just follow their leader and don't look into issues or understand reliable sources, you're talking trash about yourself, too.
You’re ranting like a clown. As I said I am not wasting my time on someone who thinks defunding education is a brilliant move. Go piss up a rope
Trying to back up your statements with evidence from respectable international organizations.
Come on man, why even try to argue your point if you aren't going to put forth a solid argument? You're rage quitting because you can't back up your false statements.
So other countries have socialized education, and they manage to have better results than our for-profit education system, and that somehow proves that our schools suck and should receive less funding, even though our schools have corporations sucking most of the money out of the system?
What countries are you talking about, and how is our education system for profit?
No, our education system is majorly public, 90% of kids attend public school. Public schools are incredibly well funded, much better than any of our peer countries, yet our system sucks. So yeah, I want to rebuild it, or try different methods, because what the left is doing with the system isn't working.
What are you talking about? Based on the several inaccuracies of your 2 sentence comment, you are either malicious, confused or just incredibly unknowledgeable.
