If my daughter was in a School where a BOY could be in the bathroom or shower I'D BE PULLING HER OUT OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY! Have a blessed weekend
No. Your daughter needs to stay .. the MALE should leave.
@@JMAC123 We know that but it's the only way to get through to the boneheads, unless you want to tolerate their BS.
where I went to school if a boy went into the girl's bathroom openly 1) the girls would freak out on him 2) the girl's male friends would bloody the confused youth 3) the school VP would suspend the errant youth 4) the parents would discipline the child once they got home
go after the teachers union
I was an officer in our local teacher's union. The well-being of students was never the emphasis. That's not the purpose....
Imagine the immediate stop of teaching nonsense in the public school system if they had to prove the education was worth our money
thats what they fear it seems
And all the kids who need special education and have tumultuous home lives and act out at school. I guess Sister Philomena is going to be able to teach them? I remember how the nuns dealt with slow kids-beatings, isolation, insults. Good old private schools.
@@TaxTheChurches. got kids? If not, i hope people like you are on a list!
The education system is complex . We have used a public system for many years with great success. We do need change to take us into the 21st century. Giving taxpayer dollars to a private religious school is not workable. They may be doing this to break the unions hold . Union teachers are paided better than non union teachers . Instead of forcing teachers to work for less pay . Maybe we should use them to improve the system . Many places the local school board runs the system . We should push for change and work to use modern technology. Less teachers and more technology.
@@rayRay-pw6gz not all private schools are "religious" and I think parents should get to decide...
But that's just me. I do agree that the system needs a major overhaul.
😂 teachers have almost as many days off for "workshops" as the kids do for holidays now days
"The science" shows that schools never should have closed...
You are wrong...closing schools at the peak of the pandemic saved lives. NO teacher should be forced to risk their life to teach your kid.
@@suzanne9150, you're so wrong that it's unlikely to be an accident. Closing schools didn't save anyone's life and it caused irreparable harm to millions of children. The virus obviously spread through virtually the entire population. Pardon the expression, sweetie, but this is not the hill you want to die on. You're clearly on the wrong side of history...
@@suzanne9150 sounds like you wear a mask while alone in your car.
The teachers did not "do the best they could with the situation at hand," they did their best to turn it to their advantage and that's what the "facts" prove! They even went so far as to call concerned parents "terrorists" and request that Homeland Security put a terrorist threat tag on them. Is that doing their best for the students? Threaten their parents with Homeland Security and Federal Agents? Is that really part of their job description?
Hi! You’re making what is commonly referred to as a “completely retarded blanket statement”
Teachers were hardly United in how to handle the pandemic.
@@eclark9965no, but their unions were. The teacher unions screwed the kids.
@@1Dude2009 that’s a counterpoint to a point i never made
You mean the unions?
@@eclark9965 Native American's for Trump /Greene 2024 they will save America from these corrupt radical far left traitors FJB
School choice is a good thing
I agree to a point . You will get many students into good schools that will bring crime , violence , and drugs that will destroy a good school .
The Federal government needs to get out of the school business.
She is spot on the target
I believe there should not be a teacher union. They have become too political. Not good for STUDENTS.
The best argument for public schools has always been to prevent parents schooling their kids in radical indoctrination centers and to provide some standard in education ... unless "Democrats" turned schools into radical indoctrination centers and all standards went out the window.
And yes, parents should expect schools to teach their kids reading, writing, maths etc. and not turn them into brainwashed ideologues.
The NEA and AFT need to be broken.
Parents are better off homeschooling their kids now and days.
School choice...tax dollars should follow also!
If you CHOOSE to remove your kids from taxpayer schools (PUBLIC ), WHY should taxpayers pick up the tab for your choice to not teach your kids in a public school. THE COST SHOULD BE ON YOU.
That says those with God thrive regardless. 🙌
Tell that to poor families who cant afford to relocate or buy a car.
I lived in a little run down trailer with no power, water, in the woods surrounded by drug addicts. Every day I would get up and ride my bike to work climbing trees. I did that for years. Finally I made the decision to get out! Only with God did I succeed. Now I have my own business, have a house and wonderful children, God has blessed me.
Finally, an official on record saying that private and catholic schools opened earlier than public schools because the unions forced the schools to stay closed.
Defund the Teacher's Unions and send you kids to charter schools, private schools, parochial schools and home school...
Teachers union. Horribly abused and used. Failed our children miserably.
You have a choice to home school if you're not satisfied with your school or the teachers. Too many parents don't want to bother with their own kids and rely on teachers to be miracle workers. Parents helping kids at home with school work is a parents job.
Love Lisa !!!! The teacher UNION is about teachers not STUDENTS!!!! Teachers no longer have a care about students but about days off with pay, holidays, summers off and THEIR UNION!!!!!!
BS
Wow, that was refreshing for a change
The teachers unions are an arm for the democrat party if nuts
Imagine how much could be learned from one of these hearings if they didnt waste all that time on speeches
@Lisa McLain, you male me proud to reside in michigan.
Kids learn certain subjects in steps, for example , math.
If a child misses a lot of school days, and instruction does not accommodate that, they may never catch up.
Kids are developing mentally and growing older each year, and some are advancing, others not , despite their age. . Illness or family problems also takes its toll on learning.
Why isn't this talked about more in terms of
Individual learning needs verses data as a whole in private or charter schools with less children?
Kids are kids.
How long has this so- called pandemic lasted?
All the more reason to focus on the fundamental basics and catch all our children up.
🙏
nichigan is a shame
I was in Education for almost 30 yrs I was a union member we never talked about students we talked about wages benefits class size calender professional development requirements
Smart lady. When it has to do with educating children, politics and unions should keep their politics out of educating children about things they should not be pushing in their minds as education buthas to do with morals and aceryain way of life that is hidde. From parents because they, the wrong educated teachers is wrong and morals should be a thing that should be taught by parents. These so called ecucaters have overstepped boundries.
“Smart lady”? Are you referring to the one who claimed Trump caught Osama bin Laden and that there were no U.S.-involved wars during Trump’s presidency?
BS Wisconsin doesn't let you choose unless your a black family or an illegal immigrant. If you want to move your children/child to a private school you have to come up with full entrance payment or your sol . Don't forget it's like a 2 year list you have to get on.
Every time a senator or a congressperson starts questioning someone they should start off with I was always told if someone can't answer a yes or no question with a yes or no answer they are either an idiot or a liar with that being said I will begin my questioning
Lisa McClain, where have you been? You need a few lessons from Marjorie Taylor Green.
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind...... Once in a while you capture the truth!!!!
Robert Zimmerman
Doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the wind blows😅
Research what it costs the public school in your community to educate one student for one year and you would be surprised. It is more than enough to give you the choice to send your child to a private school. Imagine the competition between schools to give the best education if that where ever the case.
The teacher unions Sued to keep the schools shut down so no they didn't do the best they could
I believe the teachers were concerned about their own health while thousands of people were dying during the pandemic. Not the teachers responsibility to make sure your kid is NOT sick when they go to school......that's the parents job.
@@suzanne9150 right because the schools needed to remain closed for that long which is why kids are so far behind and we have a mental health epidemic because of it. When by every metric they should have opened up long before they did
Florida schools stayed open the whole time and did better than all the closed schools
Lots of Michiganians are here in Florida
Snow birds flock to Florida when they're ready to die.
All classrooms need security cameras so that the parents can observe the classroom and a armed guard at every entrance and exit
“Accountability and measurement”…that’ll never happen!
Putting the children first is how you can save generations to come.
All teacher unions should be banned. No teacher needs a union, Education is about children , not how much money can be soaked from the Tax payers
Public unions should not be allowed to exist.
I agree
Why did local Democratic unions have so much control over when schools opened and what schools closed and when a child should have a COVID-19 shot where does it say that unions have control over this kind of stuff ,they're there to represent their employees not run the school that say you state job not a union job
Considering what is happening I think it should be referred to as the DEMONcRATic Party these days!
It’s NEVER about the students; it’s always about $, benefits, and the teachers union being in charge.
bla, blla, bla and what is the result? NOTHING
Why is congress debating education. Abolish the Dept of Education and give schools back to states
The union reps are more about protecting their cushy job with nice salary and benefits than they are benefiting and supporting the front line teachers ,giving them the tools and time to actually teach our kids !
Teachers don't have cushy jobs or make nice salaries for what they do. The pandemic proved that when most parents complained about doing school work with their kids. NOT so easy of a job.is it if you actually made your kids do the zoom learning? If parents would have done their jobs as parents, kids would not have fallen far behind. NOT all kids were behind.
Yes I agree about the parents, but tell me how has the union and union reps improved matters for parents and teachers
The learning cap has been falling for decades..
Unions inevitably become about power and influence. Teacher's unions are no different. Teachers unions do not have the interests of the students at the top of their priorities. And school boards have long been political tools of elites with zero concern for what parents want for their children. The reason there is so much resistance to what the vast majority want is because school choice would completely undermine the monopoly that these people have over the education of future generations and the power it carries. Just consider what it means for a strong majority of the population to support something in a democracy and yet it can't get ahead in legislation. It's a clear sign of corruption in the system.
As a general rule, unions are not "great" they do appear to be necessary to obtain better working conditions and higher wages. My problem is that the leadership tends to be vastly overpaid and has been known to partake in illegal activities. Other than that!
What ever happened to " no child left behind " ?
What ever happened to parents helping their own kids with schoolwork and not relying on teachers to be miracle workers for their kids. Parents need to take responsibility for their own kids and not put it all on the teacher. How many undisciplined kids to teachers have to deal with in a day?
Teachers' Unions need to be abolished
We ALL want to know what happened to the money that went to schools during the pandemic so students suffered bc of the choices government took and the STUDENTS are still suffering at the cost of government not caring let’s take away from parents with the say so of what the kids learn and what supplies are not in the schools
Readin', writen' arithmatic. Not sex, morals, lies, secrecy from parents.
Data and facts? What concept huh leftists
after dinner was the time for homework
Support the student not CRT, not the Unions, not the WHO. Agreed about private school support,
Just where are you going to find enough class rooms. enough teachers?
Yeah this presumed governor of Arizona doesn't think kids should have school choice. Who would vote for that? But then she would never talk to the voters before the election so perhaps some of these voters had no idea that she was going to go so far left but wait yes we knew
The liers make my skin crawl and they get paid to do it. WHAT CONSCIENCE?
Why do democrats automatically default union dominated public schools no matter the teaching outcomes? Is it simply that the unions donate campaign money back to them predominantly? It can’t be about the kids because they twist around like alligators to thwart or punish any other method. The state did it to me and I had to pay double to teach my kids as a poor person so save me the it’s not fair that the rich stuff. They don’t like anyone bugging out.
Stop talking down to these people. Your brilliant take stands on its own, there is no need to be obnoxious. Be firm, not snarky.
Lisa rock's!
I dunno about the whole "one size fits all" being wrong, it depends on the individual student i'd say. case in point: at the behest of my 7th grade science teacher, i took and passed advanced calculus in that same year. i can't say there was anything remarkable about me at the time, but he saw something inside of me and pressed it on. good teachers have a stimulating effect on students, onry ol' dayglo colored hared teachers have an adverse effect. teachers make the difference and we need better teachers today. imho
Teachers' unions do not support the teachers. The Unions just take their dues
School System has been broken for decades ! 😢
Why is it down to the teachers to make sure the kids can read and write? The parents should be the first people to get kids into reading, writing and maths not turning up to school without a clue. What if the schools were shut for covid? The parents should of supported the kids from home but instead they had years off school playing Fortnite and watching TicTok
Kick Gwretchen in the teeth! How did Tudor loose?
Teachers always knew that people learned in different ways, this may be new to Lisa, but it is nothing new to teachers. Private schools opened sooner for the money; they were loosing money and they did not give a damn wether or not their students became infected with COVID and brother that virus home to their parents or grandparents. That was not the school's problem. that was the families problem.
Teacher's unions kept the children home, two years for New York.
What about the teachers and the teachers fundraising funding events and systematic implications.
Democracy was assaulted by private schools not Dumbing Down their students! = Less democrat voters!..
All of my children are grown adults now, the oldest is 28 the youngest is 22. My two oldest were diagnosed with ADHD by Teachers whom do not have a medical degree let alone a phycology degree.
After my two oldest girls graduated, in 2019 I paid for their study in martial arts and advanced skilled trades schools . As a Parent I new the school failed my children by not challenging them enough according to their learning level. Basically My Girls were bored with the easy education Public schools offer and my girls refused the indoctrination that public schools were forcing upon them, so the school forced a State level recorded learning disability on them. Today 2024 Both of my oldest girls are Black belts, one is an electrician and one is a Chef, making 5X the salary of a College Professor. My point is as an older parent directing younger parents, YOU MUST GO AFTER THE TEACHERS UNION 1st and foremost, the Union is the head of the Snake and any Combat veteran will tell you, in order to kill the body you have to chop off the head and the head is the Teachers union. Only then can we start the fight into colleges.
Don't need school of choice need to take back public schools this is pure ignorant
If you don't support the students than you won't have teachers to progress out of their humble beginnings.
Whitmer vetoes education scholarship bills she likens to vouchers
Beth LeBlanc
The Detroit News
Lansing - Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has vetoed two bills that would create an education scholarship program that would give contributors a tax break on donations that could be used for a variety of education services, including private school tuition.
Whitmer promised the veto when the bills passed through the Legislature last month and axed the bills Friday. In the past, she compared the effort to unsuccessful voucher programs championed by school choice advocates, including west Michigan's influential DeVos family.
MI governor doesn't like school of choice.
Maybe, I'm just saying maybe, the parents had some responsibility to make sure their children did the homework and attended the zoom classes there wouldnt be these sharp differences. Parents have some accountability too.
Sure. And just like parents were expected to work and teach their children at the same time while maintaining sanity and mental health during the barrage of propaganda and fear and isolation...they didn't get paid for it. We want our share of tax money to choose what we do with the education of our children. Anyone else who did not go through being a parent during this time needs to shut up and sit this one out.
I turn off the volume during RUclips scam ads
is that woman ok
If you send your kids to public schools you deserve having mentally broken kids who resent you.
students are a captive audience for their propaganda
Can we all agree that unions are not relevant anymore
Both me and my husband for UNION COMPANIES. Far better to be paid a living wage and get good benefits with a pension plan. Unions ensure that workers are not slave laborers.
Nope. Unions are obsolete and not needed any longer, so no, unions (especially teachers unions) are not great. Start there ...
I support school choice if my tax dollars are redirected to the school I choose, and away from the public schools.
Thay are needed more now than ever!!!
Forbes you need a new editor. "I though we were doing a hearing on students."? Horrible grammar
Typo in video title. "I thought" not "I though"
Whitmer a mighty Governor👍🗽⚖️
Corrupt governor but leftist like you embrace that with open arms
Send your kid to parochial school. That has been the better idea for decades and decades.
Elite private schools are for the rich. Ferraris are also for the rich. Easy.
Unions were given all the chances and then some and blew-it so bad they still can't find a Union Leaders body even to this day! Great concept, like most organizations it started out rather simple, straight forward a person would join a Union who protected that persons career choice and paid Union Dues monthly for their services simple right? " WRONG " until the Unions became wealthy practically over-night from the workers monthly payments in other words the payments were much higher collectively than the actual cost of the Unions promised services that built-up great wealth in the hands of the Unions and it is because of this wealth that started the greed and corruption that eventually destroyed the idea. Wealth, greed, power and influence between the Unions and the Corporations they tried to control, sound familiar, just look at the level of corruption in Government today no such thing as " To Big To Fail ". Actually the larger the Corporations better known as the Big Box businesses get the more likely they are to fail just ask Walmart, Kmart while Home Depot and Lowes who now have one nostril above the water-line. Do not fool your selves the Teachers Union has once again repeated history, you are witnessing the down fall to something that has already crashed and burned while we sit here and listen to these 4 people lie with a straight face! It's time to face reality Public schools are as broken as the Federal Government, as broken as the House Education Committee especially Teachers Union all proved beyond a shadow of a doubt did in fact get too big and failed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it wasn't for unions, employers don't want to pay a decent wage. They use employees and pay slave wages. UNIONS built this country. THANK unions for the 40 hour work week and paid overtime, vacation days and sick time off. Thank unions for workman's compensation when injured at work......obviously you don't know a damn thing about the history of unions and what they achieved for the working people.
The problem is that wealthy parents are the only parents that will benefit from subsidizing private schools. Wealthy and middle-class parents don't want "lower-class" or "poor" kids in schools with their kids. After all isn't that the flight from public education?
As far as I've seen many charter schools and pricey private schools have tuition programs to encourage the admission of children from low income families. I'm not sure that argument holds up. I understand that many in public education say it does. But I'm not so convinced. Not to mention school choice has little to do with elite private schools.
The other, and more legitimate, concern seems to be that good schools will cherry pick the good students and leave public schools with the rejects. And that might be. The question is, does keeping the classes mixed in terms of academic fitness really benefit society over allowing for a segregation based on a school's preferences for scholastic merit and ability to maintain discipline? The instinctual response is that the students that get left over to attend public schools will be essentially doomed to a life of underachievement. And so, school choice isn't fair to those not lucky or privileged enough to make it into the better schools. But the counter-argument, that forcing gifted children to drag themselves through school surrounded by classmates that aren't their equal in academic terms forces them to become bored and demotivated, ultimately depriving them of reaching their potential, rarely seems to get mentioned.
In the end I think this is a matter of the state overstepping it's bounds. No one can spend your tax dollars better than you can. School vouchers would inevitably lead to an improvement in school performance in the metrics that parents value. I think you will be hard pressed to find anyone more interested in the future of students than their parents (on average of course). Poorly run private schools will fail as they always have, and poorly run public schools would finally have a reliable metric for when they are in need of new management.
No ,@! It's all in the ears. Clearly different in size & likeness. Diana had at least 3 lovers at this time but many more ranging in time. Captain of the Scottish rugby national side being one of them the Asian doctor also with the guy she died with. I don't want to do her a disorder. But we can name twelve and this ise'nt a full accounting . She got her revenge while the now King had one Camilla his one true love.😮😊
Yes yes yes, private schools are better BUT WE NEED TO GET RID OF THEM TO FOCUS ONLY ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Love how Forbes only plays one side. Oh well, Forbes is a Republican owned news company. Surprise surprise.
We need to upgrade public schools and call for better performance! If you take money away from the public schools the children left in these schools will be left with poor outcomes. There are not enough private schools for all the children! So let's help ALL SCHOOLS do a better job!
Yeah been hearing that tired old line for 50 years and guess what with TRILLIONS spent on public schools (the US spends 500% more on public schools than any other nation) our children are rated near the bottom in academic success.
No we need to abolish the DOE, we need to ban teacher's unions and we need to actually focus on education not indoctrination.
Public schools are failing because of the government.
You can look at schools in Detroit, they spend more money per student than the national average and their results are some of the worst.
Throwing money at the public school system won’t fix it.
School choice is the answer. Schools should have to compete for their students, the best schools will grow and have the most students.
UNIONS ARE NOT GREAT.
In Chicago, All the catholic schools stayed open all the public schools closed. 70% of Public school kids are below average.
Grooming isn't support pervert
Biggest groomer in society is FAITH based schools. Religion is for church or home....NOT SCHOOLS.
Get rid of the teachers unions they don't care about the students
Ask yourself one question . You just made a comment after watching this video. You do not even know who are the people talking here . Does your comment have any real value with so little information ?
MAGA
When catholics die they go to heaven. When atheists die they go to this place that's a lot like New Jersey. Catholics aren't as afraid of dying.
