Tag: Education (page 3)By Corinthian Scales, Section News
To paraphrase an old expression... God made man, firearms made this 56-year-old great-grandmother equal.
There were no "men" on that bus. Too damn bad she didn't drop the lowlife thug. Range time, Ramona. Gun control means hitting what you're aiming at. By Corinthian Scales, Section News

Some truth you'll never hear come from Benny Napoleon's mouth...
Education, responsibility, and duty. It is a common sense partnership for a Lawful, and civil society. Wisconsin's Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr., is an honorable American. I would be proud of any of our 83 sheriffs in Michigan, who'd step up with stating the same message. Those who are friend, or foe to 2A in Michigan? Below the fold just may surprise some folks.

Part of the problem with the electorate, is a decidedly poor attention span.
Most folks can't hold on to a thought for more than a minute or so before the phone rings, or a hot flash news item distracts them. In fact lives have become so busy, its amazing that understanding of cause and effect is as broad as the 5% that it seems to be. In fact I fear analytical abilities are on the wane. Without that important skill, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep people focused on what has truly become the enemy of our liberty. When government controls our purse, we are not truly free. Period. Below the fold, is a new project I hope will help to reverse the trend towards political and economic ignorance. It will be offered free for a time to radio stations that wish to have a morning minute type programming, or even something for fill in between programming. It will be edgy, and hopefully coherent. The idea came while making commercials for the state representative race I was recently involved with. As one of the most effective parts of the campaign, it was clear how effective radio could be if used properly. At the same time, it provides a new programming option for stations that want to enhance their talk radio line up. Go below! (2 comments, 467 words in story) Full Story By JGillman, Section News
Its worth noting the potential troubles this state would have if Gretchen Whitmer was ever taken seriously.
Never mind the danger signs of a character not so unlike the woman who wrecked Michigan so bad, it started a trend nationally. Never mind the irresponsible buy now pay later attitude Democrats generally have when it comes to government. Just do like the Republican leadership: "LANSING -- An ambitious proposal by state Senate Democrats to provide free tuition to Michigan high school grads enrolled at state colleges and universities -- with an estimated cost of $1.8 billion a year to start -- earned the respectful attention Wednesday of the Republican majority on the Senate Finance Committee. Just keep looking into her eyes.. now now .. there you go.. keep loo .. (1 comment) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News

"Every child learns differently."
This is the underlying message you will hear quite often from those who are a part of, or advocate charter schools. The message simply stating that more choice means that more parents and children will have more options, and the opportunity to fully engage in the learning process. It means they will be better prepared, and have the best chance to succeed ultimately. The public schools as mandated currently, are a trap. With a singular model (for the most part) that relies on the MEA and the NEA and union literature to determine educational materials, and streamline a single path of learning that robs children of their chances to succeed. And it doesn't have to be that way. As it was related to me by an operator of a school up here, the teachers in some of the charter schools are actually re-trained from the public school model, and provisioned with the ability to identify particular learning traits in the children. Some kids respond to different types of education styles both positively and negatively. As there is no doubt we all have different things that inspire us, it should be no surprise that learning can be enhanced by discovering that which holds the students attention longer. New Options equal New Opportunities. For Michigan, there is hope with SB618. It is a bill which allows the creation and operation of new charter schools, and opens the doors to new cyber school possibilities. It creates new options for both private and public education interests. Its a chance to move the bar upward, and offer the benefits of competitive advantage to our kids. And by golly even some on the lefty side of the fence get it. (BELOW) (3 comments, 371 words in story) Full Story By JGillman, Section News
Dan Quisenberry yesterday talked with Beckmann about schools in Michigan. Quisenberry is currently the president of the Michigan Association of Public School Academies.
Beckmann started the segment talking about the good news in the Governor's address on charter schools. He introduced Quisenberry as "the man who has overseen charter schools in Michigan as a whole" and they talked a bit about Governor Snyder's speech.
