...The video, posted earlier this month and which has since gone viral, shows Carmel High School students showing off their sprawling school's vast amenities -- which include a recording studio, a 10,000-seat stadium, a caf and a planetarium.

But when the video kept appearing on her time line, Berry, who originally planned on keeping her thoughts to herself, decided to post a response, pointing out the lack of diversity of the students in the video and the inequality of resources for neighboring schools in the region, like Avon High School, which her daughter attends.

"I think that was the most appalling part to me. ... At what point do you say, Let me stop throwing money at this high school and consider the other schools in the area," Berry told NBC News. "If you've got a natatorium and three cafeterias, can we get all the schools within a 20-mile radius of the school to have one cafeteria? One gym?"...

(fwiw, I had to look it up... "natatorium" is an indoor swimming pool.)

@#32 ... Actually it would give black parents a choice to remove their children from substandard public schools.

With vouchers, more private schools would spring up to meet the needs of a growing interest in attending them. ...

How much of the tuition do the vouchers cover? Versus the non-tuition of public schools?

That aside, why do Republicans seem to be so against the funding of public schools to provide the level of education they express they want for all students? Republicans seem to deny funding for public schools, then go on to say how bad the public schools are. Is that an intentional strategy of Republicans? Underfund something, then blast out how bad that something works?

Is it just their way of transferring public money to wealthy Republicans?

Why not just make public schools better?

Stated differently, why do Republicans seem to want to destroy the public school system?

Yer up...

@#37 ... Like I said, it would lead to more private schools coming into existence ...

And... this is a good thing... why?

@#37 ... It would be up to the parents who are involved in their children's lives to make things happen. ...

And those parents want public schools to be better. Yet Republicans seems to argue against that goal. Why?

So why give the education of children over to for-profit corporations?

Health-care was given over to for-profit corporations, and the average lifespan has been decreasing.

So, yeah, you're gonna have to give many more reasons for the attempt of Republicans to kill public schooling than you've done so far.

For example, why do Republicans seem to want those who cannot afford private schools uneducated?

Yer up...

@#41 ... Really...you have to ask? ...

Yes, and I did. ask

I do note the lack of a response to my question.

Why?

@#44 ... I don't want to....

Why?

@#43 ... I'm not sure I'd hang my hat on that causation. ...

Yeah, I'll admit I went out over the skis on that one.

thx for the reality check.

:)

Wow, talk about an obscure song..

@#46 ... Some public schools are getting away teaching and instead are indoctrinating and teaching values. ...

Huh?

You are opposed to public schools "getting away with" teaching values?

@#51 ... figured you'd comment on my "good parents" line but instead you focused on "values". ...

Yeah, I focused more upon what was being taught, as opposed to judging the quality of parents. We're talking about schools, not parents.

Why does that seem to be a bad thing for you?

Why do you seem to be so against public schools teaching students how to have an open mind, and query?

Your comments seems to prefer that you send your children off to school to be indoctrinated (in private schools), as opposed to schools that open the minds of students.

Another curious tune...
