Then it's just a tuition based school run by people with no incentive to compete or do any better.
Pretty much like the postal service.

We can fix any population shrinkage problems by incentivizing immigration, both legal and illegal, which expands the tax base and creates a net positive benefit on the economy and employment.
I think we need a clean tax code that does not reward reproduction or marriage. I think we need to have a government that shoots border jumpers on sight. They are a net drain on the economy and are taking your job away.

What an incredibly stupid thing to say. Are you saying that everyone except native americans are "border jumpers?"
I'm confident that Zappa was born here.

No, I was just making a joke. Sarcasm button needed?
But really, if you think we should shoot people who are seeking a better life in this country, then you're a shrill bigot fascist who deserves nothing but a taste of your own medicine.

Schools are underfunded enough as it is. Everybody in society benefits from a robust public education system.

If anything, public education is overfunded. It needs to be run more efficiently. Throwing more money at it has proven to be ineffective at improving education.

That could very well be true, but let's get the efficiency and proficiency up to standards before we start cutting budgets. I mean, you've got inner-city teachers buying their own supplies for class. This is ridiculous. When you have teachers making $20-$25k a year to be a glorified baby sitter because they're teaching to have their students pass the next standardized test, of course issues are going to arise.

This reply has nothing to do with my statement. If you think people should be shot for crossing the border, you're a shrill, bigot, fascist.

I disagree. Throwing more money at it will simply increase the amount of waste. It won't raise the standards. Only by biting the bullet and making drastic changes can the system be fixed. I would implement a voucher system allowing private schools to compete for the same tax dollars.

I would be willing to bet that a good 30-40% of "Americans" born in this county wouldn't be able to pass the requirements for legal immigration.

If someone wants to come to this country, who am I to say they shouldn't? Being born in a cretin place on the planet doesn't make you more important or deserving.
