Well, that explains a lot.

What does it explain?


That you lean on your sister and your son, but you, yourself have little knowledge of what is going on within the PS system. Why? Because you lack the direct experience of being in a public school classroom as a teacher and as a student.

You will never understand the reality of what is happening. XO pointed that out, but you continue to make quips .....do your job. Oh that's real insightful ....explains a lot.

Which of course translates into how you, Cynthia, having no direct experience with the military, or being in an active war zone, that you will "never understand the reality of what is happening"

Agreed?

So a parent who is (or was in my case) directly involved in their childs education is not in tune with what is really going on in public education. Strange.. I thought one of your excuses was a lack of parental involvement.

==================================
Why should anyone agree to this?

Everyone agree that education is a worthy objective. Literate and knowledgeable children are goals everyone can agree upon.

The Iraq War was a bad idea from the start. Iraq posed no serious threat to the people of the USA, as the lying leaders told us. Then they told us that it would all be over shortly, and instead, their incompetence and crappy intelligence turned it into a violent civil war.

We all know that this war is costing huge amounts of money, and we know that we will never see any advantage of having spent this money. It is now causing inflation of our money. The sooner it is over, the better it will be for all of us who are not members of the privileged oligarchy that is raking in billions from corruption, no bid contracts and the like.

The Iraq war was a bad idea from the very start. Think of it as like trying to make a very impressive tuxedo for a pig.

No matter how well the pig's tuxedo is tailored it will only look silly. I

No matter how well Petreaeus fights this war, it will still result in a waste of money for a really bad idea.

Just trying to apply the same standard you & Cynthia seem to be applying to anyone who dares to criticize our current Public Education system, and it's leadership.  No different that criticising our current Military complex and its leadership

That is, if you 2 don't want to be seen as hypocrites, in these matters.  So, which is it gonna be?

Well, why should anyone agree with "You are not an educator. You will never have the authority to speak on this issue."?

George Bush 43 turned out a lot better than I expected


============================================
You actually expected something WORSE?
Incompetence, truculence, torture, deceit and stubbornness that would put every jackass in the country to shame.



Yes I didn't think he was the best choice availible at the time , but I was confident he was going to be less of an embarrasment than Clinton and more competent than Gore , that isn't asking much.

But he turned out to be much more competant and willing to work hard than I expected , his honesty was very refreshing after putting up with Clinton for eight years,  his responce to 9-11 was very well done and his solution to the Saddam problem was the best possible choice.

I know you don't agree with much of that , but I am just being reality based.

It's goes to the core of liberalism
It's elitism
"We know whats best"
"The masses should shut the hell up and just follow our guidance"

"No you cant comment on education because you're not a teacher
but hell yes I can comment about foriegn policy with no expertise in that realm"

whats scary is they really dont see their arrogance, they are oblivious

Most of the teachers in this land of ours know better.

It's obvious that you lack a keen sense of what is really happening to children...overkill.

So, Bush is all about Kill. . . . NCLB is all for accountability. No problem with that. However, the devil remains dressed like a pig in the details.

The Reason you are unable to explan this stuff to us is that we are all graduates of the Public Schools of the U.S.A.

CU4 SEZ:

<<It goes to the core of liberalism

<<"We know whats best"
<<"The masses should shut the hell up and just follow our guidance">>

Damn liberals.  Thwarting the will of the people, time and again.  Bastids.

Here's an interesting poll on Iraq:

http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
<<LA Times/Bloomberg Poll - June 19-23, 2008
<<"In your opinion, should the United States withdraw troops from Iraq right away, or should the U.S. begin bringing troops home within the next year, or should troops stay in Iraq for as long as it takes to win the war?"

<<Withdraw right away or begin within the next year - 68%
<<Stay as long as it takes - 26%>>

Now who do you think is more likely to follow the will of the people on Iraq, the God-damn elitist liberals or the "non-elitist" conservatives??

Good point, but the question drew the line between conservatives and liberals, not Dems and GOPs.

They are synonymous.
