First off, there is nothing wrong with that picture.

A business is nothing more than a collector of revenue in return for producing a product or service. It's the job of those in charge of a business to determine the best allocation of that revenue to maximize the output (product or service).

Public schools may be non-profit businesses, but they collect tax revenue, and the leaders are charged with allocating those resources in the best way possible to serve their customers with the best product (in this case the best education) possible.

I have tried to tell Grove that schools, government are not business. They are public and belong to us.

School is not a business and you're looking at it completely wrong.

I never said you could just get rid of those workers.
Posted by GroveReb84]]> Thu, 09 Aug 2012 14:10:00 -0500 Memphis Flyer Having lived through certain times and things and having a keen awareness of history doesn't mean that I am bitter.

I have defended the right regardless of whose right it is. I will defend your right to have msds, if it is constitutionally done. I do not have to like a policy as long as it is legal, even if I think that it is morally wrong.

What happened in the past is the past, however, it doesn't mean that I will not be vigilant so as not to let the same things happen in the future, regardless of the form that it may take.

It is people like GroveReb84, and Homersimpson that I could work with.

That is the problem Mitt Romney is having. He considers middle and lower class people as necessary evils.

This

"As I've been saying, one of the major philosophical differences between the Memphis and non-Memphis interests in education is the fact that Memphis seems to see school tax dollars as a pot that needs to be used to feed the residents of the area almost as much as the students of the area."

just isn't true. I think most anyone, except its admin, would agree that MCS was top-heavy.

You are completely wrong about why the citizens voted to surrender the charter. Maybe Memphis Councilmen wanted to get away for the MOE, but it was never put to the people of Memphis whether to raise taxes a few nickels and/or quarters to keep that funding.

In the suburbs, we want the tax dollars pushed into the classroom as much as possible.

Studies from all accross the U. S. has shown that contracting out does not save money. Actually, it increases cost because with the lower wages and no benefits, governmental services are accessed more, casusing more to be spent.

She is a pretty good writer, eloquent, etc. Some of you businessmen need to offer her a job. Sounds to me like she is a people person and is willing to work hard, 100+ degree heat.

Don't pull a Mitt Romney on us. Be more specific on what you advocate?

You will learn that Memphis is quite a hard nut to try and crack.
