1. I don't think there has been any effect on education since Obama took office
Except some folks got dumber.

8. F. He has no idea what he's talking about. ...Maybe we should get a couple of
auto mechanics to reform the judicial system in this country. Same difference.

13. F.
Our educational system that ranged, for the most part, from adequate to good is now being dismantled totally. Arnie Duncan has to go.

If things continue, bright high school grads will be teaching because they will work for less. Schools will be nothing more than inexpensive babysitting facilities to keep the kids corralled during the day.

Since we don't have the jobs we used to have, I suppose it doesn't make any difference.
