JoB … here’s why vouchers are so flippin’ important and breaking up the SPS monopoly… because ONE of the ways to insure a great education after HS is….attendance at America’s best colleges…. scholarships. Not federal debt …
Our graduating Class of 2012 collectively received scholarship honors and awards worth $22.5 million, which were offered to more than 89% of the class—both figures are all-time records for a graduating class.
..and this month we learned that HNA’s sports teams of 2011-2012 have collectively brought home the Seattle Metro League’s All-Sports trophy for the fifth consecutive year!. Sounds like they get the notion that team sports and sports teach our young women confidence and competitive spirits.
JoB? They spend less per pupil than SPS.. So when we cross swords about why I don’t and the young women don’t, share your dismal outlook of inherent gender unfairness…they are supremely confident of their life long potential for success and achievement ..they have received that message and that expectation since kindergarten..
We KNOW it can be done… every teacher, instructor lives with an annual contract renewal. No tenure, no teachers union.. and look at the status… #1 Best non-profit to work for… .
Now, if your daughter was in an underperforming SPS HS…. wouldn’t you take a voucher? Parents would be lined up down the block! And ya know…. the peer culture is achieve… they pretty much self encourage. Not perfect.. but pretty damn good.
