«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 251 of 251The last blog should say, "but they might never receive it themselves."
Disregard the last blog - didn't realize there was another page.
So you are comparing one injustice (broken social security system) to another (public school spending). Thanks for clarifying the problem.
In response to Angry Parent who asked "Just wondering how you would feel about having to pay for all the activites that your child is in as well?"
I do not mind paying fees for my children's extra-curricular activities. We did this at the last school we attended before we moved to Green Lake. The fees are not that big, and if my child wants to play sports then why not do my part? I cannot believe that Green Lake has dragged their feet on school fees this long. Academics are one thing, but "extra" curricular is just that, an extra activity that should be supported by the family of the student. The fees help to cover the basic expenses, uniforms, buses, coaching etc. Not a big deal.
At the risk of being called a nitwit and crazy person I am going to throw out the folowing: Why can't the NO voters on this blog give out some positive ideas for helping the kids at school? Instead of calling a band trip foolish and unworthy of their money, why don't they offer suggestions for fundraising? Better yet, why don't they actually volunteer to HELP with the fundtraising for things at school? If you truely care about the kids this would seem like the proper course of action. It wouldn't cost you anything but your time. Instead it is always NO NO NO. As a senior citizen in this town it makes me sick to be thrown in with this negative group. There are some of us out there who still want to get our hands dirty and help out the old fashioned way-VOLUNTEERING! If there's a will for the kids to do something we should try to help them find a way to do it and not just tell them no.
Thank you to the people in town like Spring Chicken and the Rasmussens. You're help is greatly appreciated!
Spring chicken...all sounds good but what help do these kids need? I don't get it when we are spending nearly $20,000 per child..K through 12!
The help that is needed is with the administration who can't seem to make it work with that kind of money.
Earlier, I referenced a school that I recently visited that was making it work on $6,000 per student but then the DPI bumped them to $9,000 per student to meet the state average!!!
When I mentioned what was going on at GLSD to the administrator and principal at that school there they were dumbfounded at the exorbitant money we put towards each and every child at GLSD.
Give me a break about 'helping' these poor GL children. They've got it made and have nothing to worry about other than the administration and school board causing the school to change. In reality, the only thing this referendum is about is keeping the high paid administration and teachers flush with money...bottom line - enough said!!
Oh, and spring chicken, I'm sorry that I don't have time to volunteer any longer since I did take a fairly substantial hit in the pocket book over the last couple of years. As such, most of my free time is spent doing 'other work' to make ends meet.
Please know that I admire your vim and vigor towards volunteering and making things happen at the school. Believe me when I tell you...my wife, family and I spent the better part of our early years here helping with school events and volunteering for many, if not all, of the events put on by the Chamber, the City and any other festivals our city offers up. Unfortunately, we just can't do it any longer due to our crazy work schedules. It is unfortunate since one of the things that I truly enjoy about Green Lake is the interaction of citizens...a trait that should be a part of small town USA! I hope this referendum doesn't prove so divisive that it destroys that quality.
If you don't believe these kids need more money-than they at least deserve some support from the community. You are speaking of them with an unfound spite that is quite disturbing. I'm sorry that you are in hard economic times. I understand your position on not wanting to give the administration more money. But to attack the kids with your sarcasm is really distasteful. I wonder if the people in your hometown thought the same of you and your friends when you were in school? If you believe the administration is wasting the money they are given, then how are the kids benefiting from the money that was thrown away? Please explain what programs they have that other schools around here don't. Also, when I spoke of volunteering, I was speaking mainly to the older adults in this community who do have some time to give.
In reference to the programs at the school: I will give you the IB (which I happen to believe is a waste), but what of the others? What elese does Green Lake waste on the students that other districts don't? Please explain what puts us so far over the top in spoiling the kids.
"all sounds good but what help do these kids need? I don't get it when we are spending nearly $20,000 per child..K through 12!"
No sadly, you don't get it. It's not just about the money. How about a kind word and some positive feedback to them? It doesn't cost a dime.
So are the kids reading this blog now? What are you even talking about? You expect me to sit here and mollycoddle the kids because....why? I don't have a problem with the kids at the school. It is the teachers and administration, and a few members of the school board who are creating the problems at GLSD. Quit using the kids as pawns and get down to the heart of the matter. The previous blogger said it right: "the only thing this referendum is about is keeping the high paid administration and teachers flush with money...bottom line - enough said!!"
Absolutely dead on with the last blog. Nothing wrong with the kids...nothing against the kids...don't want to see any issues with the kids.
The reality is that the kids are the pawns for the administration and teachers to throw under the bus when they (once again, admin. and teachers) don't get their way.
There are plenty of dollars available to the school to make it work.
Spring Chicken...agreed on the IB. Totally unnecessary and nobody, NOBODY, at the school can actually tell you the true costs related to that pipe dream.
However...do you really think Ken Bates (and Deb Kneser) will get rid of his pet project AND THE SUBJECT OF HIS DOCTORAL THESIS (Hmnnn...isn't that an interesting coincidence) without a whole lot of kicking and screaming? My thought is that he'll do whatever it takes to keep IB so that he doesn't have to report that it failed miserably in Green Lake. I honestly believe he'd take the whole district down rather than have egg on his face.
So let's hear a specific game plan for how to make this thing work. I'm not being pessimistic, just curious.
I agree. Let's get past all this bickering and get down to the nuts and bolts. I really think that most people in town would agree that IB should be the first thing to be cut. Nobody really understands it and it was crammed down all of our throats without a say in it. I'm not sure how much that will save us yearly, but it is a starting point....
From 2005:
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Program is now in over 500 schools in the United States. On average it costs taxpayers about $200,000 per year over regular school expenses to have the IB program in a school. This is more than twice the cost of having an Advanced Placement (AP) program. The IB program is run by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) in Geneva.
Thomas Sowell discussed the IB program in a February 26, 2004 column in The Washington Times and said the IB program was "one of the endless series of fad programs that distract American public schools from real education in real subjects" and it had "a left-wing hidden agenda." He quoted a parent critical of the program as saying it, "promotes socialism, disarmament, radical environmentalism and moral relativism, while attempting to undermine Christian religious values and national sovereignty."
I have heard that the Green Lake Charter school has also been a dismal failure. The test scores are below that of the public school. Proficiency in science for the Charter school is an embarrassing 22%. This for a science based program! What will the school do with all of those laptops they bought for the Charter students? Seems the laptops didn't exactly help them earn high grades. What a surprise. Let's get the school back to being ONE school, the sooner the better. This three-ring circus act has to end.
IB will mark Earth Day, April 22. “Following a resolution in 2009, the UN has now designated 22 April as Mother Earth Day. Based on the UN’s proclamation:
“The president of the UN General Assembly, Rev. Miguel D’Escoto Brockmann, declared Bolivian President Evo Morales as ‘World Hero of Mother Earth’ in a ceremony at the presidential palace in this capital. Besides Morales, the former Cuban head of state Fidel Castro has been named ‘World Hero of Solidarity’ and the late ex-president of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere, will be honored as ‘World Hero of Social Justice.’”
Morales – Socialist.
Castro – Communist.
Nyerere – Socialist.
Many well-informed voters have spoken out against the IB program’s objectionable agenda. This type of program has no place in our school.
"I have heard that the Green Lake Charter school has also been a dismal failure. The test scores are below that of the public school. Proficiency in science for the Charter school is an embarrassing 22%. This for a science based program! "
Totally false! Actually the charter school is 100% advanced and proficient in science. Check the website. The numbers do not lie! Why do bloggers continue to make totally false accusations on this site?
What website are you referring to?
There is not one public school in the nation that is is 100% advanced and proficient in science. What are you talking about?
I'm still waiting for that website. I have to agree with the last post...never seen a school, private or public, that can boast that holy grail of numbers...100% proficiency! If Green Lake has done that, I'll be amazed.
Still awaiting the bottom line numbers but I was also told that with regard to science coursework, the participants in the Charter School program were doing categorically worse than the students in the public school.
I would think if there was added emphasis in something (science) then those students should be excelling at it.
Once again...hope this isn't the case but I'll await the website information and go from there.
The blogger is talking about the state assessment. 7th graders are not assessed in science in Wisconsin. The 8th graders in the charter school were 100% advanced and proficient in science (not the 22% that was stated earlier). This is posted on the state's webpage for proficiency in science. So....yes the charter school is 100% advanced and proficient in science.
http://www2.dpi.state.wi.us/wsas/schoolWkce.asp
Thanks for the website info. Lot's of good comparative information between state school districts, and even more interesting to compare local school districts.
You are correct that the Charter School is 100% meeting state guidelines for 8th grade science testing (78 % proficient / 22% advanced). Sadly, the regular 8th graders (aka: Not Charter School) tested higher (30% advanced) than those in the Charter shcool.
At any rate...thanks for the link.
For comparison purposes in the same grade / same subject, take a look at Markesan (35% advanced), Ripon (51% advanced) and even Berlin (21% advanced). Not to split hairs but I'd hope that with so much emphasis placed on science in the Charter School, Lake Studies/Environmental Academy that they kids would be off the chart with their science test scores. Sadly not the case, and even more sadly...As a whole, not even close to the state level of 33% advanced proficiency in science.
Why is it again that we spend almost $20,000 per student?
Not to get hung up on 'numbers' and proficiency levels but take a look at this link and you'll see that Green Lake is just a microcosm of what the problem is in Wisconsin and the DPI as a whole....Very disconcerting information regarding our state and the issues we are having with our education system. It needs to be revamped and it needs to happen ASAP or our gems will always be at a disadvantage.
The article is from 2007 but it still rings true today when speaking of Wisconsin's DPI...
http://www.jsonline.com/news/education/29257294.html
Very interesting article. It seems that Wisconsin has been setting their bar lower than other states. Parents and schools should expect (and demand) better than this. It is also interesting that the advanced science scores for the GL Charter school are not any better (and worse) than our neighboring schools.
For public schools in general, much of the problem lies in the fact that teachers are protected by their union and too many ineffective teachers are kept on when there are many other more competent teachers willing to take their place. Why not hire the best? So much for putting children first!
...the fact that teachers are protected by their union and too many ineffective teachers are kept on when there are many other more competent teachers willing to take their place
Can you name a case where an ineffective teacher was retained while there was a proven more effective teacher who was interested in the job?
How about giving the parents the 20k it costs to educate the kids and letting them choose which school to spend it on. Bet there would be superior schools popping up everywhere. Competition is the only way to solve the disgrace of a puplic school system in this country. Parents need to start demanding their children get a quality education.
I couldn't agree more. Time for schools to become privatized and keep the government out of the business of "educating" our youth. Competition would indeed create better schools.
Same for the prisons,there is too much waste and fraud within these huge government programs. Once privatized, all taxpayers would save money and we would have a better prison system. Now our federal government is trying to grab even more power, take away more of our rights, when most Americans want smaller government and less meddling. Our elected officials work for us, and so do our public school employees.
It is so very unfair that families who pay taxes have to then pay tuition for their children to attend parochial school. The decision (and the money) should be the parents to spend on whatever school they decide. Same for other private schools. I also feel it is very unfair that people who decide not to have children still have to pay taxes toward the schools. If you have children in school, then you should have to pay more than those who don't. Public education has failed, time to try something else.
Actually, it is a 'fact' that teachers are protected by their unions, just as all other unions protect their members. Was that a hard 'fact' to accept? And yes, having spent a significant part of my life in academia I can attest to many, many instances of ineffective teachers keeping their jobs just because the 'paid their union dues'. Unions were needed at one point in time...all that they are now is self-perpetuating entities put in place to protect the less than desirables who can't stand on their own volition. speak for themselves.
With all of the government meddling and oversight of the current administration we shouldn't need unions...Barry and his cast of characters are now in place to protect the slackers looking for entitlements.
Why don't you ask the families of the miners who were killed recently whether unions are self-perpetuating entities put in place to protect the less than desirables who can't stand on their own volition.
I'd stand back if I were you.
That is about the most idiotic statement I've seen you make on this blog site...and you've made many of them.
Comparing a situation like that to what is occurring with the DPI, WEAC and unions as a whole is ludicrous...but would be the typical drivel you tend to post.
And what do unions have to do with the miners who died. Was it the union who protected them or was it the lack thereof?
Come on...I'm sure you'll give me a laughable comeback.
Massey Energy, who owns the Upper Big Branch mine, has a long record of anti-union activities and forced the union out of that mine. The United Mine Workers would never have let them get away with the terrible work conditions in that mine.
This anti-union stuff is just more right wing blather.
Excellent point dmark...getting the unions involved makes everything better! They wouldn't have let this happen??? Just how naive are you?
There's no corruption within the unions...is there?
Their just looking out for their members...aren't they?
The unions don't spend millions of dollars each year lobbying the politicians...do they?
No, you are absolutely correct...having a union involved would have saved the miners. Give me a break...more left-wing, liberal blather.
Once again, Ken Bates newspaper column this week was full of lies and self-serving BS. He was (once again) demeaning and condescending to the voting public, in essence calling us misinformed and confused.
Here this, Ken Bates: the voters are neither misinformed OR confused. They are sick of the way that YOU are running the school, and they want better. You have changed your facts and figures so many times, you are no longer trustworthy or credible. You have proven time and time again that you are inept and incapable of making wise decisions with our tax dollars. The voting public is waiting for the day that you are OUT of the Green Lake public school system, it can't come soon enough.
The only voters who were confused and misinformed were the ones who voted YES. We were very upset that the school was scaring the students and the public with the threat of the school closing if the referendum failed. There should have been legal repercussions for their blatant lies.
School officials across New Jersey said on Wednesday that they would most likely have to lay off hundreds of teachers, increase class sizes, eliminate sports teams and Advanced Placement classes, cut kindergarten hours and take other radical steps to reduce spending after 58 percent of districts’ budgets were rejected by voters on Tuesday, the most in at least 35 years.
The reason why these cuts will have to be made? I am glad you asked. These cuts would be unnecessary if the teachers had taken a 1 year pay freeze and agreed to pay 1.5% of their income to pay for their own benefits. Currently, NJ teachers pay nothing toward their benefits. It seems that the teachers have had it so good for so long, they didn't want to make any concessions for the good of the schools. Pathetic.
New Jersey teachers fell under public scrutiny after they pressured their students to tell them how their parents were going to vote and gave them mandatory homework to promote their own agenda.
Sound familiar?
Ken Bates said at the referendum meeting I attended that the teachers would receive a pay increase each year for the next five years, and this was already written into the budget. Seeing as many of the teachers in Green Lake are already making $80,000+ with benefits, this would be one area to save some money for the sake of the children.
Wisconsin teachers have received a pay increase every year since the early 1990's, whether they deserved it or not. It will be interesting to see if the school will truly put CHILDREN FIRST now that cuts must be made.
Now here is a great opportunity for the teachers and administrators at GLSD to really, truly put Children First!
I can't believe that Bates is talking pay increases in these times when schools are shutting down, referendums are rightly being voted down, and the public education system across the country is finally being scrutinized for its unabashed, misguided spending and failure to truly 'educate' our children over the past many decades.
This just shows that the man lacks the cajones when it comes to dealing with tough decision making, accountability and doing whats right! It's all part of leadership. Anyone can be a 'leader' in free & easy times when everyone is happy to go along with things as long as their boat doesn't get rocked. But now, when the chips are down, Bates needs to grow a set and take on the teachers and the union and set the tone for what needs to be done to save GLSD. Obviously, if the teaching staff really believed in the kitchy motto "Children First", they would be in consort with Bates and be more than willing to give a little back to THEIR community and the CHILDREN.
What on opportunity for the GLSD teaching staff to step up to the plate and give a little to gain a great deal. Everyone can concede just a little...in wages and / or benefits - - and keep Green Lake School District a viable part of our community. AND, most importantly...KEEP ALL OF YOU EMPLOYED with VERY GOOD PAY, EXCEPTIONAL BENEFITS and the opportunity to do so in the community in which you live and prosper.
Remember...the sum of many small things joined together can make a huge impact!
Put your money where your mouths have been and either put up...or please, shut up when it comes to asking all of us to keep throwing more tax dollars at a lost cause. Your actions will speak volumes about what the true needs, and priorities, are at GLSD!
Bates can twist words around all he likes but the facts speak for themselves. Green Lake is spending as much per student as Princeton and Ripon combined! Talk about state revenue shortfalls till you are blue in the face if you want to. Until GLSD spending is close to the state average, and the teacher to pupil ratio is also closer to the state average, the taxpayers are not going to be willing (or able) to give more of their hard earned money to a school that is spending like there is no tomorrow.
Did you see in the headline in the Ripon newspaper that Ripon School district is going to switch foreign language instruction from Spanish to Chinese? This disturbing trend should be a wake-up call to everyone. China is about ready to pull the rug out from the United States and when they do, the public schools will crumble along with the rest of the publicly funded programs. The more that GLSD is spending, the faster the school will fall. If you actually believe that the recession is nearly over and things will be "back to normal", think again. Our economy will never be what is once was, prosperity as our nation has known will never be again. Better to prepare and be ready than to be caught unaware.
Actually, Ripon is considering dropping German language instruction and replacing it with Chinese. The article in the Ripon paper said nothing about dropping Spanish. See for yourself here. And note my use of the word considering. It's not a done deal, despite what the previous poster wrote.
In just the first sentence, the previous poster had two factual errors. How is it that people get such simple things so distorted on this blog?
Whatever, it seems you missed the point.
Oh shit.
The Bogeyman is coming. The Bogeman is coming.
School Board is meeting at 6:00 tonight in closed session to discuss cuts that need to be made - including teacher cuts. They will be announced at the meeting Wednesday night - so we need as many citizens and parents there. Would not hurt to contact "bombard" Bates and board members to let them know of any of your thoughts on programs (IB & Charter)and other things that could be cut.
It's in OPEN session, not closed.
Are Tea Partiers Racist?
A new study shows that the movement's supporters are more likely to be racially resentful.
A history of conservative reactionary movements in the United States, from the Know-Nothings to the Tea Parties.
By Arian Campo-Flores | Newsweek Web Exclusive
Apr 26, 2010
Ever since the Tea Party phenomenon gathered steam last spring, it has been plagued by charges of racism. Placards at rallies have depicted President Barack Obama as a witch doctor, denounced his supposed plans for "white slavery," and likened Congress to a slave owner and the taxpayer to a "n----r." Opponents have seized on these examples as proof that Tea Partiers are angry white folks who can't abide having a black president. Supporters, on the other hand, claim that the hateful signs are the work of a small fringe and that they unfairly malign a movement that simply seeks to rein in big government. In the absence of empirical evidence to support either characterization, the debate has essentially deadlocked.
Until now, that is. A new survey by the University of Washington Institute for the Study of Ethnicity, Race & Sexuality offers fresh insight into the racial attitudes of Tea Party sympathizers. "The data suggests that people who are Tea Party supporters have a higher probability"—25 percent, to be exact—"of being racially resentful than those who are not Tea Party supporters," says Christopher Parker, who directed the study. "The Tea Party is not just about politics and size of government. The data suggests it may also be about race."
Surveyers asked respondents in California and a half dozen battleground states (like Michigan and Ohio) a series of questions that political scientists typically use to measure racial hostility. On each one, Tea Party backers expressed more resentment than the rest of the population, even when controlling for partisanship and ideology. When read the statement that "if blacks would only try harder, they could be just as well off as whites," 73 percent of the movement's supporters agreed, while only 33 percent of people who disapproved of the Tea Party agreed. Asked if blacks should work their way up "without special favors," as the Irish, Italians, and other groups did, 88 percent of supporters agreed, compared to 56 percent of opponents. The study revealed that Tea Party enthusiasts were also more likely to have negative opinions of Latinos and immigrants.
These results are bolstered by a recent New York Times/CBS News surveyfinding that white Tea Party supporters were more likely to believe that "the Obama administration favors blacks over whites" and that "too much has been made of the problems facing black people." The survey also showed that Tea Party sympathizers are whiter, older, wealthier, and more well-educated than the average American. They're "just as likely to be employed, and more likely to describe their economic situation as very or fairly good," according to a summary of the poll.
If Tea Party supporters are doing relatively fine, what are they so riled up about? These studies suggest that, at least in part, it's race. The country that the Tea Partiers grew up in is irrevocably changing. Last month, new demographic data showed that minority births are on the verge of outpacing white births. By 2050, Hispanics are expected to account for more than a quarter of the American population. The Tea Partiers "feel a loss … like their status has been diminished," says David Bositis of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, which examines issues of race. "If you listen to [their] language, it's always about 'taking our country back.' But it's really not taking the country back as is. It's taking the country back"—as in time.
Bositis finds the movement's arguments about reckless federal spending unpersuasive. Why, he asks, weren't they up in arms when President George W. Bush launched two costly wars and created a new unfunded mandate with his Medicare prescription-drug plan? Why didn't they take to the streets when he converted a surplus into a massive deficit? "I don't like to be in a position where I'm characterizing people as being racially biased," says Bositis. "But when the shoe fits, what do you do?" Given modern societal norms, "they know they can't use any overtly racist language," he contends. "So they use coded language"—questioning the patriotism of the president or complaining about "socialist" schemes to redistribute wealth.
The Tea Partiers bridle at such accusations. "That is so pathetic," says Danita Kilcullen, the founder of Tea Party Fort Lauderdale. "Nobody in the Tea Party movement that I know is a racist." She notes that she attends a church with a black pastor, supports a black candidate (Allen West) in a local congressional race, and backs a Latino candidate (Marco Rubio) for U.S. Senate. When a protestor showed up at one of her group's rallies with a racist sign, she says, she personally kicked him off the corner. "We absolutely don't tolerate anything like that," says Kilcullen. "Nobody uses the N word. Nobody calls Mexicans all those ugly things that people say. Those are lies about us." She concedes that the movement doesn't draw many African-Americans. "But that's because all the black people voted for Obama," she says. "Well, not all—but 90 percent." (It was actually 95 percent.)
Some Tea Partiers blame the media for casting them as racists. "It really makes me mad," says Tom Fitzhugh, a Tea party activist in Tampa. "They have tried to portray us as a bunch of radical extremists." He considers Obama an abomination—possibly "the most radical-voting senator that ever was" and someone likely to "take us down the path of destruction." He believes the administration is intent on taking away his guns, trampling on states' rights, and opening the borders with Canada and Mexico. He has serious doubts that Obama was born in the U.S. and suspects that the president is a closet Muslim. (There's no evidence to support any of these accusations.) But his anger has nothing to do with race, he says. The real issue is that Obama is "taking down the Constitution and the way it's governed us for [hundreds of] years." All he wants, in other words, is to take his country back.
I put no stock into anything that mindless liberals think or say. The liberals are far more racist that the conservatives. The Tea Party is not concerned about racial issues, they are concerned about the over-spending and the expansion of government on every level. The illegal immigration issue is not based on the fact that illegals are a different RACE, it is the fact that they are here illegally and are (in general) responsible for a huge amount of crime and violence. Illegal immigrants are a huge financial drain on our society, whether they are from Mexico or some other country. What is the use of having laws if they are not going to be enforced?

Over the last 50 years, consolidation has dramatically reduced the number of school districts in the United States, and state governments still recommend consolidation, especially in rural school districts, as a way to improve school district efficiency. However, state policies encouraging consolidation are often challenged on the grounds that they do not lead to cost savings and instead foster learning environments that harm student performance. Existing evidence on this topic comes largely from educational cost functions, which indicate that instructional and administrative costs are far lower in a district with 3,000 pupils than in a dsitrict with 100 pupils. However, research on the cost consequences of consolidation itself is virtually non-existent. This paper fills this gap by evaluating the cost impacts of consolidation in rural school districts in New York over the period 1985 to 1997. Holding student performance constant, we find evidence that school district consolidation substantially lowers operating costs, particularly when small districts are combined. The operating cost savings ranges from 22 percent for two 300-pupil districts to 8 percent for two 1,500-pupil districts. In contrast, consolidation lowers capital costs only for relatively small districts, and capital costs increase substantially when two 1,500-pupil districts come together. Overall, consolidation is likely to lower the costs of two 300-pupil districts by over 20 percent, to lower the costs of two 900-pupil districts by 7 to 9 percent, and to have little, if any, impact on the costs of two 1,500-pupil districts. State aid to cover the adjustent costs of consolidation appears to be warranted, but only in relatively small districts.

So what happened at the School Board meeting last night? What cuts are being planned? I sincerely hope that the last teachers to hired will be the first teachers to go. If this is not the case, there will be legal repercussions, and Ken Bates can pay the school's legal fees out of his own pocket. NO NEPOTISM!
The school board should decide the cuts, not the administrator.
