(this article could easily be torn apart I think)

Yes. For example, kids who spend part of their day online are the ones who can read, at least a little. The ones left will have a higher proportion of those that can't read.

The problem is we are trying to get every child to achieve the same level of success. This will never happen, regardless of how much money we throw at it. There will always be people that will only have skills to dig a ditch or clean a floor. Others will reach much higher levels. Sometimes this disparity is because of abilities, some because of the social environment they grow up in, some just choose to limit their potential. We have been throwing money at this issue for decades with very little success. Time to move on and give resources to areas that actually have a dividend.

I knew it! It was only a matter of time before the leftists would trash the reputation of Little Pig number 3! He had the foresite and intelligence to build his house with stones, unlike his lazier and less astute brothers who used hay and sticks. Pig #3 was undoubtedly a conservative. Miss Piggy would have liked to meet him as he would have been able to aupport a family!

Just one more fairy tale that the the left will soon declare injurious to little minds. Of course the little minds are their own!!!!

Me too, loved their music. Saw them five times total. I met Anderson and got his autograph. Anderson is still touring too, but the pipes just aren’t the same.
