It looks like Ol’ Joe was “educated to the degree [he was] educable”.

In that case, most of Obama’s sons would be kicked out after the Second Grade.

I guess what means is an end to affirmative action since that's what it is. Advancing people who lack the educational ability to succeed.

Vice Presidents should be kept silenced to the degree in which they are utterly nonsensical.

You didn't post this to make us look dumb right? Cause educable is a real word! educable [ˈɛdjʊkəbəl], educatable [ˈɛdjʊˌkeɪtəbəl] adj capable of being trained or educated; able to learn

That doesn’t sound much like the utopian spirit of Ted Kennedy/GWB’s “No Chile Leff Behind”!

If Romney had said anything approaching that yesterday... (shudder)

“Children should be educated to the degree they are educable.”
...........................................................
In that case many kids would stop at the 5th grade and save us a ton of money tossed away.

It spounds like a great idea to me.

Children should be educated to the degree that they're are willing to be educated. Which is the rub: far, far too many students don't want to put forward the effort to be educated - and if they're not willing to be educated, their capabilities are irrelevant.
