Equity and Excellence in American Public Schools
Excellence, not mediocrity, provides the key to achieving greater equity in education. The view of equity as a zero-sum game requires limiting high achievers and is unpopular, misguided, and wrong. It is misguided to embrace policies or practices that put a ceiling on any child’s achievement.

Scrap It All For A Consumption Tax | Intellections

A uniform consumption tax would allow the government to raise revenue with minimal impact on the economy.

    Misleading. Wait times are only long if the government owns and administers all doctors and medical facilities, which would increase an excessive need of funding. That’s not what progressives like myself propose. We think that we should run on a Medicare for all system, where the government pays for all operations without controlling which doctors we get to see or owning the medical industry. That would not increase wait times.

    You couldn't be more wrong. The electoral college is the cause of polarization. Now, candidates only campaign in "battle ground" states. Further, it allows the rich backed minority to dominate the majority; it defeats democracy. Of recent presidents, no Democrats split the vote, while Trump lost the popular vote and Bush went to the Supreme Court. The only fair vote is the popular vote. And Nixon only lost one state, strongly suggesting funny business since he was forced to resign; if he had been impeached and convicted we would never have a Trump to tear the country apart.

    My son gets very good grades and likes school in general but during elementary school he began disliking it because of what appears to for the schools push for equity.. They would stick the kids who get the highest grades with those that were doing poorly. He began hating school for this reason becoming more and more frustrated and it was harming him more than it was helping the child with the low grades. The biggest thing to help equity would be if every parent would participate, help, motivate, and push there child to do better.

    One China Policy, the Achilles heel of China A brief Introduction and Analysis According to this Research Analysis China's greatest asserts are also China's greatest weakness. This is all about One China Policy and the Achilles heel of China. Step by step we will explain every angle of one China policy and its relations. Firstly the concept of one China during ancient China. Secondly one China Policy as domestic Policy of present PR of China. Thirdly we explain one China Policy as China's core issue in international relation. Fourthly we are trying to turn the weakness of one China policy into our opportunities. It is a strategy to change the game in opposite direction based on one simple formula that "for every action, there is reaction in opposite direction, said by Newton". We have designed 71 toolbox for this purpose. All the toolbox together make one useful and effective tool to encounter China in international arena. The Achilles heel of China is made of multiple internal and external factors. One China policy was always hostile and discriminative with minority groups in China but in recent time Communist Party is also very aggressive with Han Chinese people also. We have seen such things during democracy protest in Hong Kong and Corona Pandemic in China. China wants reunification of Taiwan at gun point. right now China international relations and the image in the world is in a very bad shape. Russia China alliance in Ukraine War has created huge rift in one China and one world relation. Therefore, US and EU is talking about de-coupling and de-risking from China as damage control of China's re-verse engineering and violating the WTO rules. but China is violating the human rights, freedom and democratic values in China. Most of the South China Sea countries have maritime and territorial dispute with China. US China relation are also at the boiling point. China's intimidation tactics on Taiwan has invited the US Navy and NATO force right in front of China's own courtyard. Now so called five eyes US, Australia, Japan, UK and New Zealand have jointly formed an intelligence gathering and share on China. What happens if China attacks Taiwan? On both side Han Chinese people will fight and kill each other. It will split the unity and the strength of Han Chinese. It will provide chance for Xinjiang Tibet Manchuria and Southern Mongolia to get rid of one China Policy. There are many pro-democracy and anti-communist elements inside China with Hong Kong and Taiwan. They all want regime change in China. All of them together make one powerful collective force. They can one day replace the communist China. Why we see the Tibet Taiwan issue as an epicenter of the one China problems but also epicenter of the solution. Because China and India made Panchsheel Agreement in 1954 and as result Tibet become the victim of one China policy. China joined United Nation in 1971 and US China relation improved in 1972 and as result Taiwan become the victim of one China policy. The validity or expiry date of one China policy depends on Taiwan Tibet issue. Who is the sole representative of one China in the world, is also related to the Tibet Taiwan issue. One China Agreements in all the international relations are directly related with Tibet Taiwan issues. The recognition of one China in the United Nations in 1971, isalso related on Taiwan Tibet issue. "Now it is high time for United Nations to re-think and re-view one China policy as political correctness to provide some justice and to push China towards reform and change in right direction" if China want to avoid split of one China one day like the Soviet Union in 1991 Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst as said by HH the 14th Dalai Lama. When China strikes its first Missile on Taiwan? Taiwan should right away appeal to the United Nations to end the one China in the world as core issue in international relations. Taiwan can reject one China policy and refuse re-unification with PR China at gun pint. The Tibetan Central Administration in India should lead this initiative in United Nation with all other democratic elements inside and outside China. The time plan of this action must coincide with China's first Missile attack on Taiwan. It is more powerful than 100 times of Sanctions on China. The PR of China is standing on one China principle but will fall down due to this policy. This is Achilles heel of China and Geo-politics simplified Analysis Toolbox 01 -Achilles heel to end one China in the world Remarks at the end: If you find these things not easy to understand and complex than you can study these two maps below carefully. It can explain everything about one China policy, the Achilles heel of China

    History Fact check: One of the issues of the 1787 compromise was the worry that the large population states would run the low population states as servants of the big city interests. That was a deal breaker and the overrepresentation of small population states is both intentional and a design feature of said compromise...have I got that right? Why quibble about the reason? The only way the cities could get good service from the outlands was to grant them a meaningful seat at the table, and they did, and it works. Direct election puts the urban centers in the position of masters of national policy...good or bad...you decide.

    Let's face the fact that political economy is and always will be one damn crisis after another and stop pretending that government manages to accomplish anything else but precipitating the next crisis. Covid was the latest and perhaps best (worst?) example: we actually had a "pandemic" plan and it was jettisoned as soon as the government realized there was a problem. Result? A government-created crisis that is still with us and will keep on giving for a generation or more through inflation, accumulated debt, lost education for the young, many private sector businesses destroyed, and trust in government gone for tens of millions of Americans. Meanwhile, the government is busy manufacturing the next crisis as money is fed by the trillions into the furnace that is the Inflation Reduction Act. To paraphrase Rahm, a crisis is a terrible thing to avoid.

    A few comments. First, I suggest that the real issue is that on average, Americans do not understand what is meant by child education and what is required of parents and children to become educated. As evidence, I submit the current state of the nation. A knowledgeable electorate would not have allowed the degeneration that has occurred in American civil society institutions. Since the purpose of education as a public good is to prepare the population for the responsibility that is citizenship, I think it is evident that the system has failed. I hear little comment about this from education “experts”. Why is that? Vouchers, charter schools, religious schools, the public system, these will not solve the real problem here and that is no national recognition of what it means to be educated. Until this happens, studying the system is putting the cart before the horse. Also, studying the system is much easier than dealing with the fundamental problem, which is a consensus on what it means to be an educated citizen who can participate responsibly in their citizenship. Victor Davis Hanson understands this well and has discussed it publicly with regularity. The challenge for Hoover is, how do we make progress here? This is a political third rail since it is about behavior of the People and I think it us pretty clear after two and a half centuries that the People were not up to the challenge of maintaining their constitutional democratic republic. Tocqueville suspected as much. So, now what?

The EU, even without Britain has a population greater than Russia and economy many times the size of Russia. Our European "allies" can easily defend themselves from Russia and support Ukraine. Of course it is a lot cheaper for them to let the US foot a large share of the bill. What NATO does do is drain US resources which could be much better spent in the Far East to contain a true danger, China.

If Australia can provide world best medical care and subsidised pharmaceuticals on that budget, surely the US can too. To say you can't is either due to corruption or incompetence.

    Teachers are ruining this country. When it goes down, im going after the teachers. They support Organised crime, Gangs, racism, sexism, and every other ism they accuse everyone else of. They are going to cause a backlash from students who realise they know squat but their brains are full of this lesbian theology of trans. Its a cult. They cant wait to make the money off you. The teachers work with the psychologists to lock up kids and convince them they need to transition to feel ok. Estrogen will cause a short term euphoria and feel good atmosphere for those young enough to still be growing, but its known that estrogen kills males. Males can not take estrogen outside of natural foods, it will kill them by 50. Thats why so many 'trans' are just butt ugly women and pedo men looking to glom on to something. this country is shit now. 1000 protesters in prison for protesting a sham election, yet a lot of protesters claimed Bush was a fake election in 2000. All the big cities are empty of businesses now, the crooks have to attack in huge numbers to make money its so bad right now. Only mail order companies are thriving. This is all directly caused by a small cadre of lesbians who hate men, despise young women, and want to kill children. These beasts are behind it all, ruining things to show how bad it all is, but its the good parts they are ruining. We all must stand up against them. They are producing stupid kids who cant even define what sex they are, and believe that as long as you scream you get what you want. Weak parents and evil teachers. Stand Up. Fight for whats right.

    Lol, the electoral college causes candidates to focus on swing states at the expense of the rest of the country. Bob Dole didn’t even campaign in Kansas. Elections would or could .. should be done with the distributed apparatus that is already in place. They would simply turn in a count. In what way is that more complicated or more susceptible to litigation then the way we do it now? I don’t know that the EC has much effect at all on extreme political views, or pandering to political bases over a straight vote. You just kind of hand waved that without offering an actual mechanism with which that would happen. Moderates can win a swing state just as easily as a national vote. The same goes for motivating your base. Both strategies could work in either voting system. Further more, millions of votes are devalued by the EC. This almost certainly discourages people from voting at all. Why vote Dem in Texas, or Rep in California? This video’s combination of slick production and conspicuously vapid arguments make me think this is not about education but propaganda. It’s left me even more resolute that the electoral college has to go.
