This is a busy time of year in the Obama household. Like so many parents all across this country, I watch with a mixture of pride and anxiety as my daughters stuff their backpacks, kiss me goodbye, and move ahead in another school year without so much as a backwards glance.
My girls are now making new friends, tackling challenging new subjects, and moving closer to becoming the strong, confident women I know they can be. But when I see them come home, bursting with excitement about something they have learned or someone they have met, I can't help but think that some of the most influential people in my daughters' lives won't be the ones they socialize with on the playground or read about in the pages of a bookthey will be the people who stand up every day in front of their classrooms.

At least they don’t have to worry about being clonked over the head and robbed or being raped in a stairwell. That frees them up for learning.
Even our "esteemed leader" failed to take advantage of the great Washington DC single-payer school system for his own children. Why would anybody think a healthcare single-payer system would be any different than the education version?
I ran for school board here in w/ Iowa (Lewis Central Schools) and lost in a 3 way race for 2 positions to a obviously Hand-picked local lawyer that was buddies w/ the school superintendent(o and his wife was a teacher in the district) and the incumbant School Board President(A female). As far as I am concerned the GS pukes and their clients can F*CK OFF!
I warned my daughter...She came home disgusted. She said: “Mom, you could have talked till you were blue in the face, they had their mind made up and I don’t know why they even bother having meetings.”
