Jeb is the favorite of those establishment Republicans responsible for a chunk of America's shameful deficit and the enlargement of an enslaving central socialist government. They have proven that they can work hand in hand with Progressives.
A sure way to lose in 2016 and to continue America's downward spiral is to promote Jeb.
Bush III? No way!
What’s an election about if it’s not about issues?
Education is a state and local issue.Education is a family issue.
Imagine, GHWB wanted to be known as “the education president,” and GWB put Ted Kennedy in charge of “no child left behind.”LCLB was so bad that when Obama told the states they could get out from under it by signing up for Rotten Core, most states signed up for it sight unseen.
The only way I would ever vote for Jeb Bush is if he were to run as a democrat against Chris Christie.
Jebbie is horribly wrong on at least two very important issues, Common Core being one of them. It doesn’t even matter to me if he means well, because Common Core gives the federal government powers it should not have. Should it stand, those powers will definitely be used against us by leftists.
Like his brother, Jebbie may try to make the federal government more efficient. He may honestly want to use Common Core to produce better students. That is a fool’s errand, because power once seized is rarely surrendered. Even if Jebbie controls Common Core for the best—a dubious prospect given the unassailable education bureaucracy—Jebbie cannot ensure a leftist administration won’t later user those powers in the worst possible ways, like to indoctrinate our students more than they already are.
“If we’re going to be the best country, and not just talk about it, we need to actually do the work to make it happen. Higher standards is a key element of that, and these standards, the Common Core State Standards, are clear and straightforward, they will allow for more innovation in the classroom, less regulation, they’ll equip students to compete against their peers across the globe.”
- Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush

Education is not a federal issue. It is a local issue. There should be no department of education. It should be abolished. No other solution deserves discussion.
I don't like Common Core. So I'm naturally suspicious of "Hour of Code". But negative reviews are rare. Maybe it's OK. But maybe not. In any case it is worth a look by Freepers.
Two things I find comical: Actors that become so simply because their parents were actors (e.g. the Fondas and the Sheens) and politicians that follow in the family business.
The only thing Jeb has going for him is his last name, and lets be honest, it takes very little actual ability or understanding of US Government and its function to get elected to public office. I would say Boxer and Pelosi prove that point sufficiently.
When I look at Jeb’s history, there is nothing there that would make me want to vote for him. Nothing.
One needs to go no further than No Child Left Behind to see how a poorly conceived and implemented plan can have disatorous effects. All NCLB has done is manufacture a system where teachers teach to a test and most of those tests suck. Total failure. That recent history justifies the skeptical nature of parents.
When we see complaints about Common Core we almost always see completely jacked up math problems. My question is are those math problems really common core or are they a product of current curricula that are able to say they are common core compliant. Neither of them excuse these insane curricula, but to be effective we need to know the difference.
Common Core is a Trojan Horse for the liberal agenda.
It is and will be used to indoctrinate our children with Anti-American, Anti-Christian attitudes and ideas.
It is designed to do this from a Federal level, so there is no escape.
It will undermine Private schools and Home Schooling by making their Communist agenda mandatory.
