Interesting that Milwaukee wants to do away with the voucher program. Being a resident in Milwaukee County, I am well aware of the heavily democrat political system, as well as the victimhood mindset and reliance on welfare in the "less fortunate" areas. At the same time, Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) is one of the most heavily funded schools in the state... perhaps in the nation. Yet it has one of the lowest graduation rates in the United States.<br> <br> http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/29395934.html<br> <br> The voucher program is available to a very small percentage of students who are lucky enough to escape the nightmare that is MPS. But it looks like another case where legislatures want to 'make things equal' for all kids. Just like the "No Child Left Behind" act, which dumbs down classes and robs the smarter children of additional learning while everyone waits for the intellectually challenged kids to stop texting on their cell phones...<br> <br> http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/39743127.html<br> <br> (that school is located about 2 miles from MPS schools, btw)<br> <br> As long as legislatures try to make all classrooms equal and treat all students as equal, we will bring things down to the lowest common denominator. Which might be what our 'ruling' party wants.
