I married a mechanic's daughter and my sons are mechanics, and my youngest daughter can change the oil and filters in her " Hemi-Truck, and she is a 16 year old honor student, Ga, she'll probably fall in love with a mechanic, I pray....... - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:22:47 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8643-trudeau-skewers-lsea#comment-19591 by HARDHAT "mechanics children marry the mechanics children," --------------------- I would not be so quick, these days it takes knowledge to fix modern machines. Have you seen a shop manual lately? English majors pronounce the words but don't have clue what they mean. - What the H Tue, 12 Jul 2011 08:57:01 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8643-trudeau-skewers-lsea#comment-19587 That is why the inbred intellectuals marry the inbred intellectuals. The haves marry the haves... The mechanics children marry the mechanics children, the only way into the elite camp is to become a beautiful showgirl in Vegas built like a Venus body then some riche paw-paw will marry you and the spoilt paw-paw's children will hate you for taking paw paw's money. This is a true story with names deleted to protect the local inbred riche........ - HARDHAT Tue, 12 Jul 2011 06:40:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8643-trudeau-skewers-lsea#comment-19579 It's the same old thing like LABAI's position on education one day do everything you can to cut funding for education and belittle it by such idiocies as these then the next day criticize the state for having a sub standard education system. Anti intellectualism indeed but perhaps more a move to educate the peasant class just enough to mop their floors and empty their bedpans. - scottman Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:05:54 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8643-trudeau-skewers-lsea#comment-19574 Yes, we definitely deserve that jab from Trudeau. It's called anti-intellectualism . . . it's not just a hatred of intellectuals, it's a distrust of reason and knowledge in general. - Farrow Mon, 11 Jul 2011 15:41:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8643-trudeau-skewers-lsea#comment-19572 What was "exaggerated?" - rambeaux rawlings Mon, 11 Jul 2011 14:03:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8643-trudeau-skewers-lsea#comment-19569 Toujours, la meme chose. I see little evidence that our state has any real commitment to education, beyond sending one's own kids to private schools. No doubt, we, the voters and tax-payers of Louisiana, deserve ridicule. But our children deserve a state and allied communities that make sustained investments in substantive, effective, fact-based education for ALL of its children. Sadly, it is evident that such commitment is beyond our ken and our compassion. Those Louisiana schools with the best funding, do the best job of educating their students, as the study by the Cowen Institute indicates: http://www.coweninstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/SPELA-2011.pdf "MFP [Minimum Foundation Program -- that is, state and local appropriations] funding varies greatly across districts. The Louisiana school district that is at the 95th percentile receives 39% more funding than the district at the 5th percentile." Even if we aren't going to make the investment in the state's economic future by properly funding education, we could at least make sure that what we do manage to teach is based in solid, careful science, not faith. - Marthe Reed Mon, 11 Jul 2011 12:33:07 +0100
