That's also why private schools don't have higher rates of getting students into college. How silly of me! You have clearly proven that no one in L.A. should be given the choice of private school, for the LAUSD is obviously better than any other educational system ever conceived by man.<BR/><BR/>Poor little staffers!Walter Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885641116259381431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-44617534720408451482007-03-30T16:36:00.000-07:002007-03-30T16:36:00.000-07:00Here's the remedial class in debate, Walter:You ha...Here's the remedial class in debate, Walter:<BR/><BR/>You have to have evidence to argue successfully.<BR/><BR/>You've failed to present any evidence whatsoever that vouchers are a viable alternative.<BR/><BR/>If you won't present arguments for your position, you've lost... ipso facto.<BR/><BR/>You might just as well say "the moon is made of green cheese" as "vouchers will improve education in Los Angeles" -- if you won't provide any evidence to back up your assertion.<BR/><BR/>Both statements are meaningless without proof, silly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-45276664892135058342007-03-30T12:33:00.000-07:002007-03-30T12:33:00.000-07:00Why are you so afraid to give PARENTS the choice? ...Why are you so afraid to give PARENTS the choice?
