I wouldn't hold your breath either.

When I spoke of "UNION PUKES" I wasn't speaking of teachers who are members of the union (like my wife and mother-in-law, or your mother) but the beauracracy of NON-EDUCATORS WHO ARE THE UNION, who care little if at all about educating children, and instead focus exclusively on more money. Which they've proven time and again rarely finds it's way into classrooms, or has any correlation to the quality of education received by students what so ever.

I also want to point out, again, that the NCLB act was championed, and shepharded to fruition, by both GWB and his arch nemesis in the Senate, Edward Kennedy. Unlikely at is seems success AND failure MUST be attributed to both in equal numbers.

Regardless, as I've already mentioned it is unconstitutional legislation, which, as with practically every "act" produced in DC is and will be a complete and utter failure. Alas, once again, props to Kennedy and Bush for trying something to improve education. NO ONE else, Commie or Neo-Con, democrat or republican has done or even attempted a daggone thing in my lifetime.

I like accountability, and if it needs to be paid for by paring school administrators down to a more reasonable ratio (beaurocrat-teacher), say 2-1, or heaven forbid 1-1, so be it. Closing down crappy schools, or firing unproductive beaurocrats or unsuccessful teachers, in spite of the union-pukes objections is STILL a good thing in my book. Quality teachers welcome the measures, suddenly accountable beaurocrats, and along for the ride teachers fear it greatly.

To the issue at hand, and once again, this is an problem which falls squarely on the shoulders of Armstrong Williams. He exercised poor judgement, should have anticipated this end result, and should meet his maker career wise for it.

This is nothing new from a federal government perspective, and will change nothing from a federal government perspective.

All of you democrat and republican sheep worship at the alter of a politician who has done exactly the same thing.
