Suppose that I am a professor with a large class of students. After an exam, I bemoan the fact that even though the median grade was an 80, a number of students had failed the test. I then announce that for future tests, to make sure we have no failures and that the class average is 70 or above, I will take 15 to 20 points from the scores of the successful students and transfer these points to any student who failed so that everyone would be passing.

Isn't that what the public schools are doing now?

Every one is beating on Chavez, and the destruction of his country. Look at Castro and how long he has lasted, and he doesn't even have the Oil that is available to Chavez.I studied the Dismal Science, and it looks to me that as long as Chavez has oil money and can keep spreading it around he will do fine...A lot of people are happy to lead a low style of life as long as they don't have to work for it. If you doubt this come to Las Vegas and look at the homeless lined up for blocks, living on welfare
