I do. He's a sleeper agent. Watch your back!

Defense is always going to be politically tough, but I'll be right
behind you. As for cutting federal education contributions, all it will
do is push the costs onto the states. I really don't see that one
having legs.
I'm all for that. Education should be a very local issue.
The Feds should have never stuck their nose under that tent.

I think it's the opposite. The more local you make school control, the
dumber it gets. You won't find local control among any of the countries
that beat our kids' pants off on standardized tests.

Then how do home schoolers excel over public-schooled students?
Doesn't get much more local than that.

If you had one teacher for each one or two student in public school classes,
reacting to each student's learning patterns individually, they'd probably
beat the hell out of home schoolers, too. It would only cost us around
$70,000/student/year.



Most of us on this board got a public school education when local control
was the rule, and the feds had little influence.

Except for Cliff and a few others, this seems like a smart bunch.

It is a smart bunch. I imagine that, collectively, we'd score well up in
test percentages.


g Regarding Texas, when
the Democrats in your legislature have to hide out in Oklahoma so the
Republicans can't assemble a quorum, you have your share of buffoons,
too. d8-)

Unfortunately, the buffoons came back.
