OT: BONUS BUSH QUOTE
This is snark, pure and simple. If you’re a big fan of Pres. Bush you might just want to skip ahead:
And so we’re raising the standards for every public school in America. If you believe every child can learn, then it makes sense to raise the bar, not lower the bar. (Applause.) If you believe every child can learn, then it makes sense to measure to determine whether every child is learning. That’s called accountability, accountability for results. Accountability is so crucial to achieve our goal for every child learning to read, write, add and subtract. Accountability helps to correct problems early, before it is too late. Accountability enables a good teacher to test a curriculum as to whether or not that curriculum is working. Accountability allows principals and teachers to determine whether methodology is working. Accountability also is a way to make sure parents stay involved in the educational systems across our country.
So, he does know the word. Now if only he’d apply it to the folks in his Administration.

The newspaper headline this morning said Bush is for ending tyranny. That would be nice if that goal included the tyranny of educrats. |
