[history]
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.

LOL I didn't know what you were talking about at first. I thought you were talking Hollywood or horoscopes. ROFL!! Then it hit me. Duh! Thank you my friend, for your kindness.

I am also concerned about what the Dems are planning. Of course like any thug they will get someone else to do the dirty work.

I never took a very close look at politics in the past.
I have a feeling if I ever really saw it close up, it would resemble a sewer of sorts.

You are right about it being a sewer. I am helping a friend run for state rep and getting a real good look at the sewer. My guy is squeaky clean(like Jeb). I am betting anything the Dems try will backfire.

That's interesting. Let me know what happens after election day! A lot of people on this forum seem to be helping someone run for office.

It's distressing that of the 10 Florida schools that got a second "F" this year, eight are in South Florida -- three in Palm Beach County and five in Miami-Dade The obvious step to take for parents who want a better education for their children is to move out of an area controlled by Democrats.
