CommonCents of Brunswick, ME When the Maine Education establishment destroyed the Town Tuitioning program by forced consolidation; it also destroyed the primary funding vehicle for private schools.

Exit Good Will-Hinckley and its long tradition of serving the educationally underserved.

Enter..boutique charter schools designed to served the screw ups in ALT ED. Classes and their rich parents.

Now that's progress!report abuse

MikeH of ME Thats right! Why do we pay a premium to educate the dumb kids who are just going to end up being trash collectors and burger flippers? Its a waste of my money! Parents need to pay for their own kids education costs at a rate of 100%. Keep the dumb kids in the dumb families with their minimum wage jobs and no benefits. We need people to do these jobs in this society!report abuse

O_o of Everytown, ME "Somebody needs to explain to Arne Duncan that middleone, "charter schools for Maine is a bad idea. America learned 50+ years ago that separate and unequal doesn't work well for kids."

right, because the seperate inferior education that children get in PUBLIC schools should be forced to keep the teachers unions in business. better to be 'equal' and failing than five some kids a chance of getting a decent education... brilliant.

"Private, PROFIT making companies are getting very wealthy off the taxpayers. That doesn't mean they are doing a better job of educating children. "

if they dont educate the kids, the kid (and the money attached to them) goes some place else. its an incentive to do good work. in public schools.. who cares? send em along. im in at 8 and out at 3 with summers off. in charter schools i do a good jor or i dont have a job. in public schools the teachers unions makes sure i get paid too much and that i cant be fired if the kids i babysit dont learn a thing.

more socialism please.report abuse
