Extractions: lamission@tminet.com By George Neumayr Editor's note: Author Tom Wolfe made a splash in the January 19 New York Times when he was quoted at a conference sponsored by the Children's Scholarship Fund saying, "Immediately stop all installation of computers and Internet apparatus in the public schools, and substitute chessboards." This follow-up interview appeared in Investor's Business Daily on January 21. Neumayr: What was the essential substance of your speech? I know The New York Times did a little report about your advocacy of chessboards over computers, but what was your real message? Wolfe: Let me give you the background. I said to these big-money guys: "Any of you who has any influence over installing computers or internet in classrooms, get on the phone right after lunch and tell them to get rid of it all and you will save America millions of dollars." As every good teacher knows, in order for children to learn, they have to use information actively. I'm talking about establishing memory here. Let's say the subject is the origins of the American Revolution, which is probably not even being taught in any public schools, that is part of the problem. Studying issues like this teaches kids to develop concepts and reach conclusions; in other words, to use their minds rationally. Now, the internet does absolutely nothing to create active learning of this sort. It tends to be used as a substitute for such activity.

Extractions: There probably is no more contentious issue in public education that that of school vouchers. Typically vouchers are touted as a way to allow poor parents the opportunity to take their kids out of failing public schools, and to put them in more effective private schools. However, most voucher schemes do not provide low-income parents with the funds needed to send their children to high-quality private or parochial schools. The recent initiative that "silicon valley" venture capitalist Tim Draper is attempting to place on the November 2000 ballot here in California is a good example of this kind of flawed "school choice" measure. The initiative, which has been dubbed "The National Average School Funding Guarantee and Parental Right to Choose Quality Education Amendment, eventually would provide a $4,000 "scholarship" to each of the approximately 600,000 students now enrolled in California's private and parochial schools. Every public school child also would be eligible for one of these $4,000 "scholarships" if the child's parent(s) chose to enroll the student in a private or parochial school. The major fly in the ointment is that most decent private and parochial schools cost a lot more than $4,000 a year. This means that most of the benefit of the measure would go to parents who either already have their kids in private schools, or who have enough money to pay the difference. It also means that most poor children who attend substandard public schools will continue to attend such schools, vouchers or not.

The history of Christianity in our own California began with the founding of the first mission at San Diego on July 16, 1769. The founder of this mission, as of many others in this state, was Father Junipero Serra, a Majorcan and superior of the Franciscan Fathers. He and his Franciscan brethren were sent by the Spanish government not merely to serve as chaplains to the Spanish expeditionary forces, but also to preach Christianity to the natives.

Americans United To Novato School Board 8 Thus, funding to sectarian schools, including Waldorf or parochial schools, Whether or not teachers in this charter school have standard california http://www.waldorfcritics.org/active/articles/AU_Novato.html
Extractions: I am writing as Vice President of the local chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, to oppose approval of the Waldorf charter school in Novato, on the grounds that public funding should not go to support a sectarian institution. From my phone conversation yesterday with Ms. Benz, I understand that approval of this school is on the consent calendar for this evening's board meeting. I appreciate Ms Benz's agreeing to distribute my letter to the other board members before this evening's meeing (hopefully in time for them to review it before the meeting). I would also appreciate it if this letter would be included in the official record of the board meeting proceedings. Thank you. I. Every transfer of money from the government to a religious or sectarian private school would violate the California Constitution.

Extractions: Case study findings challenge conventional wisdom that private school practices are superior to public school practices Washington, D.C. - Current policy debates about education are missing the most important reform issues by focusing on school quality based on its public or private charter, according to a report released today by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI). The most significant variations in schools are the social, cultural, and economic differences between communities, not between public and private schools in the same community, the report finds.

Extractions: CHAPTER THREE Admissions and School Programs Grievances and Enforcement Return to Table of Contents The California State Education Code, the U.S. Constitution, the United States Education Act Amendments (Title IX), and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title IV), generally provide the basis for the legal rights which require equal opportunity for men and women in all aspects of education . These laws cover all public schools, including elementary schools, high schools, community colleges, vocational and professional schools, California state colleges and the university of California system. Laws prohibiting discrimination in educational opportunities also apply to any private school or university , if the institution or its students receive funds from the federal government. For example, if students participate in federally-funded student grant programs, or the science department receives federally-funded research grants, then all of the programs and facilities at the institution must provide equal educational opportunities to all students.

YES The war on drugs sends billions of dollars in military action to the jungles of South America, while millions of people are being incarcerated here. With public funding for schools and healthcare in shambles, illegal drugs continue to be prevalent in our communities. This measure can keep as many as 37,000 people out of prison each year and may stop the need to build new prisons, thus saving taxpayers $1.5 billion over the next five years. Proposition 36 will allocate $120 million annually for drug treatment, which could affect tens of thousands of people.
Extractions: The California Community Foundation is home to approximately 150 scholarship funds. Collectively, these funds constitute one of the largest and most diverse scholarship programs on the West Coast. The more than $2 million in annual scholarship grants represents a tremendous financial resource to students in Los Angeles and beyond. Some scholarships benefit students who are pursuing specific majors or careers - such as engineering, science, nursing, architecture, law, child development, law enforcement, theology or the arts. Other scholarships target particular types of students, such as promising 10th graders, single parents enrolled in community colleges, gifted students from beleaguered high schools, underrepresented minority law students, or low-income students enrolled in private parochial schools. Many scholarships honor or memorialize a family member, community leader or a treasured colleague.
