There are not equal outcomes in this country.
It's equal opportunity.
You take opportunity and make it work for you. Strive every day. Be rewarded according to merit, not need.
Latch-key kids are getting into trouble after school. School ends at 3:00 and parents don't get home until 6 or 7:00 p.m. Children need somewhere constructive to go; they need something positive to do.
Barack Obama's plan will shut down school's like Academy Prep because he plans to take away vouchers from Alternative Schools. Schools doing more positive thing than I could ever do by myself.
Public schools need heat under the seat to improve. Competition straight down the line. If you succeed, we feed. If you fail, we shut you down. "Prepare like the Normandy Invasion. Public Schools worship at the altar of the FCAT." This may seem exagerrated, but after hearing many personal testimonies, it stands true. My high school taught material on the FCAT, and I passed with flying colors.
This leads mt thinking to, "take from the rich and give to the poor" in an attempt to evenly distribute cash, to achieve a fairer, more egalitarian society.
In Marxist theory, socialism is a transitional social state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of communism....yikes.
America is the land of the free, and here, in my country, we work for what we want...never one in which money earned, is then taken away, and dealt out...not in my country.
At Academy Prep, volunteer service is exchanged for tuition.
