The history of the current school board in Milwaukee sugests this is valid idea.

Thanks for the intelligent post.

Yea, 'cause it's working so well now, right?

Here we go, government is just getting bigger and taking over more. Last I heard the kids outside those schools in chicago were getting shot up? Pretty soon we all will have someone from government living in our houses with us making sure we'er doing it thier way.

The argument is made that several mayors have successfully overhauled the school districts in major cities, including Chicago and New York. I don't quite know why the school boards in those cities were doing such a comparably poor job, but when you have a politically accountable mayor it seems to make a difference. State legislation is usually necessary to make it possible.

There are good reasons to be skeptical, of course, as it could conceivably just put another group of patronage hacks in charge. But I don't know of any mayoral takeovers where that has been an issue.

Nobody likes you, Charlie Brown. You don’t have any friends. Everybody thinks you’re wishy-washy and blah. You’re weak and insignificant and alone, and you always will be. I don’t know why you even try to start conversations with other people. You’re no good.

Good Grief.............
