FCAT Scores Prove Progress [Broward County editors praise Jeb on education; brutally blast Dems!]
Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel ^ | June 16, 2002 | Editorial board

Critics of Gov. Jeb Bush's "A-Plus" education reform program are at it again.

They don't like standards; they say standards make teachers' jobs too hard. They don't like testing; they say it doesn't prove anything.

But now that 68 schools around the state have received failing grades on this year's Florida Comprehensive Assessment Tests, they're changing their tune. Now they say the failing grades do prove something after all: that the A-Plus plan isn't working.

What hypocrisy.

It sometimes seems the Palm Beach post only prints the news it wants to print. If Gov Bush wins in a total landslide, I wonder how they will spin that...

Love your handle. Hopefully the parent that lets you claim it isn't represented by one of the stars.

I'm sorry but I don't understand. Ohhhhhh.....I think I understand now. Yes, he is.

I love your handle too. That is so funny! Very clever.

Any way you figure it, unless maybe you're a Democrat running for office, that's progress.

LOL! Thanks Summer.

Bump.

To tell you the truth, based on what I've seen recently in the national media, I'm beginning to think the Dem Party has been planning a major misinformation campaign in national media to disparage Gov. Bush's outstanding record. I actually hope I'm wrong about this, but, we'll see...
