Understandably, you are proud of your daughter, and want her to have positive experiences in her chosen career.

However, the fact remains that our system of public education is under attack. Literally THOUSANDS of veteran teachers have lost their jobs. Ultim... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/chervilant/2399 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 09:49:16 I shall avail myself of those resources!

On Rove: I recommend Bush's Brain (Moore, Slater, and Moore). My fave factoid from this book is Rove's high school strategy of taking carts laden with boxes full of blank index cards to his debates--specifically to intimidate his opponents. Even as a ch... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/chervilant/2398 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 09:39:55 I find it difficult to swallow your unsubstantiated and poorly languaged argument that "public schools in the Orlando area were found to force parents of students to transfer students to charters during fcat."
