23 Philly School Closings Philadelphia to Close 23 Public Schools While Building $400

[aqualung]

Will the remaining public schools just be super over-crowded?
Will the children be instructed by computerized robot lecturers?

I refuse to reproduce until I am well-heeled enough to educate multiple children in PRIVATE schools from pre-k to grad school. -_-

I gotta get up outta this city. It's only gonna get worse. Kids already running the streets all wild n shyt. But they had to foresee this shyt coming. Schools are paid for by taxes, a lot of empty lots and deadbeat landlords skate on paying their property taxes in this city. The city department that oversees collections has a small staff and they are years behind in trying to go after delinquencies. The entire system here is just fukked up

Instead of using taxpayer money for schools, they decided to double the space of the convention center here, talkin' bout it "It will bring more tourism revenue to the city" Well you know what, now that it's done being built, the city has actually lost conventions to other cities because they don't want to deal with the a$$hole unions here charging outrageous fees. So now we have this huge space, that nobody wants to use, and we're losing more money over the next few years

Am going to tell whats going to happen

Step 1: isolate all the poor ppl to one side of this historically nice town
Step 2: deprive them of good jobs and education
Step 3: watch these communities turn to shyt with crime
Step 4: apply the final blow by allowing the property value to hit the floor
Step 5: watch the last decent citizens/bussiness owners flee
Step 6: delcare that the communites are a failure
Step 7: close & tear down schools,homes,businesses
Step 8 : rebuild all these places declare a renisance
Step 9 : sell luxury condos to middle/upper class
Step 10: victory

Meanwhile, the city has recently begun work on a $400 million prison project, said to be “the second-most expensive state project ever.”

That state is corrupt on so many levels. You mean to tell me none of those congressmen and women could not stop this. They just sold out all those kids futures.

Its obvious whats going on

 

[Captain Crunch]

goes to show slavery still exists thru prisons. And this coultry will forever be ran by money. Check out Umar johnson. He's trying to build schools for us blacks.

Co-sign, I gotta pick up his book and support his effort to build that school in Africa. With that said, unless we starting own black-funded schools, we're going to be screwed.

Tom Corbett, Governor...he's too busy trying to get the sanctions from Penn State removed (got thrown out in court recently), privatizing the state lottery, and all other kinds of dumb shyt

Hopefully we kick him out next year

I'm from pennsy and still visit my parents there. If he privatizes the liquor i'll consider his tenure a success. what is this other dumb shyt you talk of?

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

I didn't read much of this story but I would bet that the money for the prison was committed years ago and is separate from school funding.
