Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Class is now in session. The rules are simple; you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book, and the whip and chair.

This city's superintendent of schools, who recently put two dozen teachers on unpaid leave for failing a basic English proficiency test, has himself flunked a required literacy test three times.

I know my opinion of the public school system is no surprise to any of you, but this is an outrage! Our educators are supposed to know their subjects and with that, be able to teach them in a clear, concise manner to our children. A school superintendent should not only be able to pass all literacy and proficiency exams, but should be able to do so with flying colors. The excuses that are being made for this gentleman are all a load of rot! I want them to elucidate why they pay him $156,000 dollars a year, if he has failed this exam three times. They should clarify why he is not on unpaid administrative leave until he is capable of passing this exam.

There is no excuse for is happening within our schools, our money pays for them, we should be able to expect the best, not the most politically correct, or the most avante guarde. Our schools are mass-producing people that cannot or will not be able to function in the real world. With superintendents such as this, is it any real surprise? /rant (climbing down from my soap box)

Use in a sentence:

Gray Davis signed the transgender protection legislation this weekend, providing further elucidation for the need to recall his ass.

[NeoCaveman]

The mayor of Cleveland Jane "Feinstein" Campbell elucidates her stupidity. I know, what else is new.

Cleveland: Police want bigger guns. Mayor refuses fears it would upset residents

[Fawnn]

Try as she might to recall,
Hillary could not elucidate
Shredded details of it all
'cept claims the vast right wing doomed her fate.

[xsmommy]

Frank Rich attempts elucidation with respect to Mel's movie, without having seen it.

[Texan5]

Morning!

Ms. Van de Putte failed to elucidate
Her reasons for fleeing to escape her fate.
By casting aspersions on Dewhurst's mind
She appears as childish as she is unkind.
If she'd eat less cake and more fish and greens
She might look as good as Dewhurst in jeans...

[PetroniDE]

Good Morning Rika: Went shopping over the weekend; took advantage of "Tax Free Weekend".

This may be an elucidation, but if Lt. Governor Dewhurst wants a political future, he will not give in to the eleven Texas chickens hiding in New Mexico.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Ms. Clinton will have to elucidate
Her attempts to seal Gennifer Flowers' fate
Not a victim of rapes
But recorded on tapes
Sorry, Bill, seems like Gen was a lucid date

[1smallVoice]

Hillary will never elucidate her plan to become president but when she divorces Bill in November, 2003 you will know the campaign has started.

This point let me elucidate
Our schools are now second rate
We divide by group
But do not teach poop
Except to make students feel great.

[P.O.E.]

If I were Secretary of State, I'd be going from mosque to mosque, and anytime some noodnick starts elucidating the finer points of jihad, I'd break out my handy dandy:

[SeaDragon]

It looks like Rosie wants to be the elucidator of the gay travel scene. Don't you know, it is for the families......

Homework:

The last time Hillary spoke, or, as she was heard to eluciferdate, she was (as usual) still lying about her record.

Then again, the last time Reno went out, she also was seen to eLuciferdate .... Which is better than getting arrest for picking up an under-age prostiture in Miami as a District Attorney.
