Microsoft's High School Opens in PA

Joopndufus writes to mention a CNN article about a Microsoft-planned high school, newly opened in the Philadelphia area. Funded entirely by that city's school system, Microsoft offered its management skills and personnel to design every aspect of the high-tech setting. From the article: "After three years of planning, the Microsoft Corp.-designed 'School of the Future' opened its doors Thursday, a gleaming white modern facility looking out of place amid rows of ramshackle homes in a working-class West Philadelphia neighborhood. The school is being touted as unlike any in the world, with not only a high-tech building -- students have digital lockers and teachers use interactive 'smart boards' -- but also a learning process modeled on Microsoft's management techniques."

Public schools are a statist paradise

[Anonymous Coward]

If you dumb lazy people cannot afford to send your kids to the best schools, why the FUCK should *I* have to pay for your kids to attend some useless "public" school? I am sick and tired of having to pay taxes to support lazy, arrogant obnoxious idiotarian whiners who refuse to do the hard work necessary to succeed. In summary, the Republicans are 100% RIGHT to oppose public schools, even if they are more talk than walk.
