Gov. Janet Napolitano today is taking a small group of educators and business leaders to North Carolina to shop for an academic miracle.

Napolitano wants to jump-start a statewide program that could give Arizona the same kind of education turnaround seen in North Carolina.

NC? Get real. She is wasting our $$$ going to North Carolina? Recall the Butch NOW!!

But of course she is the one who dropped teaching about abstinence from the sex education program the state funds.

[Az Joe]

She is straight out of N.O.W.ville.

Notice the references to pre-kindergarte - all-day day care / kindergaters, in the N.C. "ideal" system!

For that matter, read the entire Principles of Communism (One long page) and then compare EVERYTHING that the DNC is having their candidate say to Engels' dissertation.

What will be the course of this revolution?


(vii) Education of the number of national factories, workshops, railroads, ships; bringing new lands into cultivation and improvement of land already under cultivation -- all in proportion to the growth of the capital and labor force at the disposal of the nation.

(viii) Education of all children, from the moment they can leave their mother's care, in national establishments at national cost. Education and production together.

(xi) Equal inheritance rights for children born in and out of wedlock.

North Carolina is my state. Education is my issue (one of just two primary ones). This state is about 38th in achievement in public education compared to other states (plus D.C.). If the Governor of Arizona thinks there is much to be learned about educational excellence here, she has "another think coming," as my sainted mother used to say.

And we have over three more years of this?

It makes me absolutely sick to think of all the "Republican" women who voted for her because they are pro-abortion. They voted Republican on the other candidates and for her or left the Governor box blank.

Damn!

The local public schools here in the Triangle are atrocious, and if you want really, really, bad, check out my high school Down East. I remember way back when it was godawful; the "graduates" it's producing now have gone beyond graduating with diplomas in football and basketball (the two principle areas of acadeic interest there) to crystal meth and unmarried pregnancies.
Where are all these kids doing so well on standardized tests? They're not applying for jobs in my company, and the native college graduates we're getting are pathetic.

I'd rather see AZ take a different tact. Close the public schools and send the tax money back to the tax payers. Re-open the schools as private, encourage homeschooling, and eliminate the gov't's role in education.

Freedom and education would increase, and costs would plummet.

What the hey is she coming to NC for? She might want to test her kids against ours first.
Or is it the tax screwing that we get that appeals to her?

[Kuksool]

AZ High Queen Napolitano wants to model her administration after NC's Governor for Life, Jim Hunt.

[Marie]

What a complete dolt. You want business to relocate to AZ? Lower taxes and create a business friendly environment. Parents will figure it out for themselves.

What a freakin' nitwit.

[nonsporting]

They screwed up K thru 12+, now they want to assault the pre-K years.

The total elimination of state funded schooling is the only way to solve Arizona's "education crisis." Cost will plummet and quality will improve.

There are only so many hours in the school day. If you are training the little minds full of mush to place condoms on bananas, how to save the rain forest and deconstruct winnie the pooh, you will have little time to teach them how to read, write and compute.
