Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

The Mindless Automatons

Of course after writing that last article about lifting the cap on charter schools and giving students real options in the way they learn, I discovered that next in my reading list is a story regarding the promotion of unparalleled mediocrity.

Of course the threat to the power held by school unions would drive an attempt to keep the shackles on the ankles of our youth. The minions of those who parasitically extract our taxpayer dollars are hard at work attempting to stop profit in the charter schools. State Senators Rebekah Warren, and Hoon-Yung Hopgood say Michigan charters make too much and wish to institute a constitutional ban on for profit schools:

"The ban would only affect K-12 schools, such as charters, that receive money from the state School Aid fund. Already in Michigan, four out of five charter schools are operated by private, for-profit education management organizations, according to the senators.
"It's not a ban on charter schools, and it's not a cap on charter schools," Warren said when announcing the proposal this morning in Lansing. "In these tight times, all those dollars should be going to the classroom."

In these tight times, perhaps Warren should take a 100% pay cut by leaving government service.

What these synaptic powerhouses are saying, is that private enterprise could operate at half the cost of a public facility, and still be charging too much if there is a profit. The evil is not in the cost but who might benefit.

From the Progressive Bible - Jen GR 11:05 verse 2

Costs LESS, with better results, but profit made by private enterprise equals BAD.
Cost MORE with Mediocre to poor results, but government run equals GOOD.

Gotcha.
