    • I'm prepared to admit that convention in all matters of state and domestic policy may be outdated and ineffective in achieving one's domestic and international objectives and unconventional behavior may have some benefit in advancing them and/or problem solving.

      There is no proof of that and more proof that ignoring history and reasonable calculations based on it results in rather bad outcomes. But Geezer has enlightened us about the value of informed prediction such as that attributable to the likes of Albert Einstein and others.

      We should all be hoping Trump is as enlightened in his view of the world and how things should be done as Einstein was about physics and the predictability of outcomes based on mathematics..........cough, cough.

      I'm not hopeful.

              I heard one the players insulted Nick Saban's hair. As such, I expect the coach to be exonerated forthwith and the offending post-Millennial grub to be dispatched from school with great haste and fanfare. As it should be, so it shall be done.

                        • well, let's try this:



                          Harvard study. Lots of interesting demographic information in the article. For example:

                          What we found is that parents with children in private schools are more likely to be homeowners, have higher incomes and college degrees. But charter parents, as compared with parents of students in public schools, have lower incomes, less education and are less likely to be homeowners. Twenty-one percent of charter parents are black and 36% are Hispanic, as compared with 10% and 25% in the public schools.

                              Nope ...... the only way you can read the article is to subscribe to the WSJ. But, no worries, I get the point of it.

                              I'd like to read the whole thing but if you are advancing the argument that plenty of poor black folks send their kids to charter schools I don't think that makes irrelevant the point that some hold here that charter schools (1) are business operations with profit as the primary objective, (2) that alone makes it questionable that this particular public interest (education of American youth) can be placed in the hands of private ownership.
