I would not expect a loss there. Like Florida State, Oklahoma has become a team that is perpetually overrated.

Growing pains….the system has been in place for 21 years. And those fraudsters….often rename themselves and find another group to authorize them to continue what they have been doing. They are far from out of business. If your lack of understanding of the significance of being able to choose proficiency or growth leads to a childish response like that, that says more about you than anything else so far.

Stacking the deck…..when it comes to evaluating schools, legislators on the Statehouse gave non public schools the option of using growth or proficiency when test scores are factored in. Did public schools get the same option? Nope. Proficiency is the dominant factor in public school evaluations.

I will stay local. https://pro.stateaffairs.com/in/education/indiana-virtual-school-enrollment-scam https://indianacitizen.org/virtual-charter-lawsuit/ https://www.chalkbeat.org/indiana/2020/2/12/21178564/in-a-damning-audit-indiana-calls-on-two-virtual-schools-to-repay-85-million-in-misspent-state-funds/ Several years before these, local charter school operators were told to repay the State over $100Million So in less than 10 years, charter operators in Indiana have defrauded Indiana tax payers to the tune of $383 Million. when the State Board of Accounts looked into a charter school in Fort Wayne, they asked for financial records. The school refused stating they were a private business and are not required to do so. From 2001 to 2023, 1 of every 3 charter schools have closed, and most have done it during the school year.

Keep telling yourselves that lol. Plenty of other sources and evidence to the contrary. Not necessarily throwing shade on any of the schools themselves, although there have been plenty of scandals, fraud and scams in the couple decades they have been in operation in Indiana, just critical of how the deck is stacked by politicians in their favor.

In other words, charter school lobbyists and operators find certain stats to toot their own horns while ignoring other details. Gee, go figure

Enough teams are in camp now to get this going. And what a great first entry. Of all the Brownsish things to do, this has to be the Browniest. The helmet predicts the season......shit brown. What's worse? the brown helmet or the person falling in during the unveiling? Signs your season might be cursed. Yet another mistake by the lake.

It has NEVER been a monopoly....lol No it doesn't. Do your own research. I have posted many times the evidence over the years. You are not interested in reading it, so find it yourself.

So, kids never defy their parents? Maybe kids decide they are not Christian because of their parents? Maybe the parents forced the children to attend? There are a number of possible scenarios. Funny that a religious freedom libertarian would support tax dollars going to religious schools. If or when the public system is eliminated (and there is no doubt those deciding policy and funding want that to happen, and suckered people like you into buying into it), that is all you will have left educating students in the country........with tax dollars. Careful what you wish for. There is no evidence to support your claim of it being a damn sight better. Plenty of evidence to show otherwise though.

But not even close to the context of vouchers; the topic here.

In a previous forum here, you supported a charter school in North Carolina that would not admit non Christians, or would expel students if they found out later they were non Christian. Religious discrimination using tax dollars would be a form a of segregation. Similar case of a school in Arizona that you also defended. So, it really is not the parents choosing, it's the schools that do.

Less than half of property tax dollars go to the school corporation. You want your tax dollars to pay for your child, I have no issue with that. But a LOT of other people's tax dollars are paying for it as well. If that was the case last time you looked, then it has been a while. Segregation is not just based on race. 8.9% of voucher students are African American, while less than 20% are Hispanic. Most voucher students come from homes with an income of $100K or more. Over 30% come from homes earning more than $150K. So students are segregated based on economics as well. Then there are students on non diploma track; special needs students. Most non public schools will tell parents your child is better off in the public school. It's those students after all, that set the amount per student that schools get. So the value of a voucher is based on the costs related to the students in schools who would never be admitted to a voucher school. There are a number of other students as well who would never be considered when applying to a non public school. Those schools get to pick and choose who gets in and who does not. They also get to choose who stays and who they ask to leave; setting standards that are illegal to have in public schools.

Because it had NOTHING to do with the voucher topic. The rules have not changed since you were last here. I am not going round and round again with you on this. if you want to stay around, then drop it. If not, let me know. You can have at it on Muda's OOB forum all day long.

Been down this road too often with you over a number of years. You choose to remain ill informed, and you choose to openly support segregation, so nope.

Thanks for showing us you really aren’t paying attention to details, especially with how funding works.

yep, welfare for the rich, along with open segregation....great plan. I agree with this part....but not the "logic" you spouted. The intention is now in the open.

There had been some indications for several days prior to this latest update from Ryno. FUCK cancer https://thenewslife.us/update-30-minutes-ago-cubs-legend-ryne-sandberg-reveals-final-wishes-in-cancer-battle-y1/?fbclid=IwY2xjawLssihleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFLV3h0QmpXNFMwOTNPSEZiAR6gr3HEgHHx80gxpGdSD57-ZsFKhzEdppEW5oJ_5Kbq7GGRxNz0_mTIdgW7Gw_aem_71bdJ16lzCSYkNHPw9-YBQ

West Lafayette HS and Purdue alum gets a healthy pay raise. Good for him. Never saw him in a game in high school, but did at a couple of camps at St. Francis and at Purdue. Dude was a beast even in high school.

Have I stated that? I thought he was a good hire at the time, but saw the issues around the 3rd year. Was never a fan of the extent of the yelling he did, and was glad the school leadership told him to take it down a few notches.

If I remember right, the kid got a signal from the sidelines wrong. If you look at the spot on the field; at something like their own 35? It was not the spot to run a fake, for sure. Even then, it was still way over the top for a reaction.

Beyond even that.

Early on I was a fan of Dabo, but remember watching a game where his punter ran a fake and did not get it. While I understand being upset, he just could not let it go. The amount of time he spent berating the kid was way over the top......and then he kept going back to the kid to yell more. I won't post the video, but it was nuts.

Impressive weekend for Scheffler

While that show was beyond ridiculous, I think you can look further back. The broadcasting of signing day and the spectacle that is made by so many has contributed to it as well. For so many, the theatrics are way beyond ridiculous. I am not going to attack or even judge the kid in this one. When you see high school athletes using the terms that the college players are using to announce their commitments, it is a bit much.
