The 2000 election is at best

The 2000 election is at best questionable as well as the 2004.
But going back to the 2000 election it really wasn't a matter of people who had voted for Bush but rather the partisan republican Supreme Court judges that more or less appointed George W.Bush President.

We didnt elect Bush the

We didnt elect Bush the first time. And those who voted for him were afraid of gay marriage.

My Buddy al bates who is a

My Buddy al bates who is a teacher for over 30 years, agress the No Child Left Behind is a big fat joke period. For the last couple of years Al classes have been bad to say the least. The kids don't want to learn, just want to listen to thier Ipod, talk on thier cell phone, and while he has try to help these kids the nutty district keeps bring in new rules and order him to pass these kids period. Most kids nowsdays can't even read, nor count in fact once at a 7-11 store a young kid couldn't count out 4 one dollar bills to pay for his food. In fact most of these kids put all of thier purchases on credit cards. Most kids don't know how to handle money or even know how to use it.

I bet they don't know how to

I bet they don't know how to spell simple words like "their" or "nowadays", how to use punctuation, or have any clue about English grammar either. Shocking! What is our education system coming to?

The answer is: no education

The answer is: no education system.

uuugghh. I really hope that never happens though!!! I went to a really bad public school once. It was awful. Now I go to a private school with a pretty good reputation and I love it. The only problem is that it's expensive.

The late great Molly Ivins

The late great Molly Ivins warned us that NCLB was a failure in TX before he tried to take it nation wide. We should have listened.

Pardon my ignorance, but who

Pardon my ignorance, but who was Molly Ivins. I've heard the name before, but I don't know exactly who she was.

Molly Ivins was the greatest

Molly Ivins was the greatest argument in favor of NCLB - clearly she needed help with reporting basic facts accurately.

Evil Conservative

No, hon, Sister Molly was

No, hon, Sister Molly was around for The Georgester's growin' up days, and Sister Molly wrote the truth and spoke the truth. Let's put her journalistic creditability up against yours any time, OK? Long before the Bushistas came to power, Molly was reporting on Texas Politics and other foolishness. And she had more credibility in her little fingernail than the entire Faux Snooze Network does in its multi-tentacled, obsequious Right Wing bloat.

Bush's Intelligence? Isn't that an oxymoron?

Where is Bush teaching a

Where is Bush teaching a class? They don't have that kind of funding since No Child Left Behind deverted all the money from the schools that need it. Like the ones where the most kids can't read.

No Child Left Behind was a

No Child Left Behind was a joke from the beginning.
All it did was make things worse.
I have been in education for over 20 years.
If they want to make things better they could provide more classrooms with less students in them so there would be time for helping each student who needs help.
