Leave no child behind my foot.
Edited on Thu May-27-04 11:44 AM by Tim4319
Bush plans on cutting $1.5 billion from the department of education. He plans on cutting head start, and cutting more benefits for the veterans. All if he is re-elected!

Plus, the average millionaire would receive a $52,000 tax break. This does not make any since.

He cannot get re-elected!

1. You would be stunned how many people out there
complain at how badly their kids are educated, yet don't want to pay taxes to support the school system. (Never mind how freaked out they are that teachers make a princely sum of *gasp* $25,000-$55,000 per year to take care of their lil darlings.)

I wish I had a copy of the editorial cartoon that was floating around the school I did my student teaching in. Featured a big ol' fatcat politican telling a teacher he wanted to cut her pay. So she offered to get paid the standard babysitter's wage. The Senator got a crafty look on his face and rubbed his hands with greed over that, right up until she said "per child" and submitted a bill for $100,000+. *lol*

2. The policy should be called, "no child's behind is left"
I beleive that is what Ann Richards call it last week on "The Larry King Show."

3. We've been calling it "No teacher left standing" but that one is good too.
