What has Bush's idea of "reform" done for me? NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

1. I can attest as a teacher..

..it's gotten much worse in the past four years. Granted the kids have become better word callers, but they don't understand. They don't understand.

2. My daughter's a teacher/administrator of a state pre-school..

* has done bupkus for her. Everyone in our family donates stuff that the kids need.

4. Teach to the test

That's what education has become...The 'test' is all that matters.

6. that is for sure

if it is not on the test don't teach it is what we are constantly told.


I also pay about 500 bucks out of pocket for supplies and now have learned that bush stopped the tax credit for teaching supplies

7. Par for the course

I've a friend who teaches handicapped kids in an inner city. She could write a book. She spends a fortune on buying supplies as well as items like clothing for her kids.
