Lobbying hasn’t worked that way for a while now, especially after Citizens United.

Shouldn't 'A' be greater than the other side of the equation(?)/expression(?) in order for the DOE to profit?

There are private schools that cost less per student than the NYC public schools…

Because the democrats get all the good lobbyist checks, the republicans have to scrape by with whatever options are left

This isn't the NYPost, we can support it.

I know this is trolling but it is also probably verbatim the logic someone like my dad would have.
There are some weird blind spots for people when politics comes up and they look at someone who is obviously a bad person who constantly takes advantage of others and sees instead someone who just needs someone to believe in them so that they can transform into a good person. They believe that this person wants to be a good person but, like them, makes mistakes. (Trump)
It is sad because it is the flip-side of someone everyone understands is a good person and who always tries to do the right thing. When this person makes a bad decision, this same type of thinking sees them as fundamentally a bad person who was pretending to be good until they revealed their true nature: bad. (Hillary)
A really good example of this is the (kind of terrible) tv show Under the Dome where one character is obviously selfish and cruel, constantly killing people for stupid reasons and yet the other characters constantly give this man another chance, a chance to be good, that he again fails, harming them in horrible new ways. There is another character who everyone trusted at one point but then he did something that made it seem like he was actually selfish, for the rest of the show the characters wanted nothing to do with him, some how he had proven his character while the selfish one had not.
It seems to be the nature of abusive relationships.

I think it is best to support the hometown paper. A dollar-a-month option is the cheapest plan

So many members of the public believe that they’re experts in education because they went to public high school. You’re not.
You’re also arguing against a position I have not espoused. Please just stop.

Those are essential things that address basic needs and health. Having lived in the projects nearly my whole life that is the chief concern of people who actually live there and cannot afford to leave and live somewhere else. When water from a pipe leak 10 floors above my apartment was gushing through my circuit breaker and outlets I wasn’t thinking “I wish my Wi-Fi was free”.

So instead of holding someone back or getting them a more suited education the trick is to push them to the next grade onto a different teacher who now has to deal with both disruptions and retreading material wasting every other students time and then eventually dumping them on the world, uneducated and unprepared for all but the lowest prospects

Probably because it isn’t certain from the images that he’s black ya dum dum.
If the guy is actually Indian or Latino why would they want the public looking out for a black guy?
Very stupid comment. Don’t become a cop dude.

Obviously all issues should be addressed, but positives should be taken for what they are
