Dubya' Bashing

[altiain]

OK guys (and gals)... my post wasn't intended to start any personal flame wars. It was merely to illustrate one facet of our public education system that I personally disagree with - the pay for public school teachers.

POS, I completely understand why you send your child to private school (as my parents did with me). However, if more money were spent on the education system (and the educators, imho), then perhaps the pubilc school system could be brought up to a level where you wouldn't feel the need to send your child to private school. Not only would that benefit you directly (no need to pay for private school), but it would also benefit everyone across the board, including those who can't afford to send their children to private schools, for whatever reason.

I think every child in this country should be entitled to a quality education, regardless of income, racial background, etc. And I think that a good step in that direction would be to raise the pay of teachers, which would attract higher quality educators, and reduce the turnover rate among public school educators, many of whom cite the low pay and lack of funding as primary reasons for leaving the profession. Better teachers mean a better quality of education for students, which means a better chance of success for those students.

Don't worry about that, George W. promised he'd make that happen!

Didn't he also promise to bring peace to Iraq and find Osama? :P

One of my favorites quotes about Dubya' goes like this...Going after Sadam instead of Osama is like looking in the living room for the keys you lost in the garage because the light is better.

"If there's another set of keys in the living room, that's a start." was the rest of that story. :P
