    For MSFT, 10% dips are $2-3.

    Since you're the expert, how can you tell the trend from the noise?

    Also 'performance'. I don't think that word means what you think it means.

    If you want a company with limited growth, like MSFT, & steady dividends that are twice that of MSFT, you might try T.

    Who was talking about charter schools?

    We're talking about how to motivate/measure/support public schools to get the best education for kids.

    Yeah. That's all they do. If you're going to be critical, at least say something like 'all they do is teach to the tests'.

    And your solution?

  20. Re:Wrong reasons ... on Texas School District Drops Embattled RFID Student IDs; Opts For Cameras · · Score: 1

    I didn't suggest the opposite.

    How about everyone gets a flat $, with bonuses for better test scores. Or better graduation rates.

  21. Re:Wrong reasons ... on Texas School District Drops Embattled RFID Student IDs; Opts For Cameras · · Score: 1

    Doesn't 'No Child Left Behind' fund by test scores?

    Of course, that means underperforming school districts get less money, which leads to further under performance.
