Teacher Rejects the Madness of No Child Left Behind.
Standardized tests are created with producing a bell curve in the test taking population. A bell curve is very informative as to where the limitations lie in a population. A standardized test that produces a decaying exponential is not. Either the wrong test was administered to the students or the teachers at whatever school are that good. He never mentioned appealing or having the students independently tested. I don't know that much about the "No Child Left Behind Act," but if neither of those avenues exist then it is fucked.

As to whether or not a privatized educational system is preferable, I feel I'm a mixed bag. I do think having a diversification of educational options for children is beneficial for the populace, however I also feel that the Federal Gov. should guarantee and ensure a base level education for the populace. I'm still young so I remember being taught by the tired short-tempered bigot as well as I remember the wonderful teachers that truly inspired me. The inspiring teachers were definitely on short supply. The criticism is always launched that professional athletes make more than elite teachers. Perhaps with a more privatized education system this could be alleviated.

As I stated earlier i would not endorse giving corporations free reign to indoctrinate the next generation. I'm in favor of amendment or law requiring a separation of corp. and state with regards to education. I would require a federal base minimum of educational requirements for all schools (sorry creationists). I would like more options. Instead of St. Jude's or St. Mary's, I would like a Sir Newton's.

Off-Air (or so they thought) Conservatives on Palin
Preface: Mike Murphy - Friend of Jon Mccain and former adviser to the campaign.
Peggy Noonan - Primary Reagan speechwriter.

Transcript:

Chuck Todd: Mike Murphy, lots of free advice, we'll see if Steve Schmidt and the boys were watching. We'll find out on your blackberry. Tonight voters will get their chance to hear from Sarah Palin and she will get the chance to show voters she's the right woman for the job Up next, one man who's already convinced and he'll us why Gov. Jon Huntsman. (cut away)

Peggy Noonan: Yeah.

Mike Murphy: You know, because I come out of the blue swing state governor world: Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush. I mean, these guys -- this is how you win a Texas race, just run it up. And it's not gonna work. And --

PN: It's over.

MM: Still McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good.

CT: I also think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too.

PN: Saw Kay this morning.

CT: Yeah, she's never looked comfortable about this --

MM: They're all bummed out.

CT: Yeah, I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?

PN: The most qualified? No! I think they went for this -- excuse me-- political bullshit about narratives --

CT: Yeah they went to a narrative.

MM: I totally agree.

PN: Every time the Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.

MM: You know what' sreally the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical.

CT: This is cynical, and as you called it, gimmicky.

MM: Yeah.

Sarah Palin on Being Vice President
I really didn't see this round of running mate picking to be that surprising on either side (in full disclosure - Fuck McCain). Obama chose Biden who addresses Obama's criticisms of being to inexperienced in foreign affairs. McCain chose Palin cause she's a woman (Hillary) and she revved the party base (strongly pro-life, gun rights, blah blah blah). I can only assume that she was chosen to try to revive McCain's campaign.

If the Obama camp treads carefully though, they may be able to spin this to their side. When, given the chance to pick an advisor with which you will approach the nation, with whom do you choose? A lady with 2 yrs. experience or an 11 year member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I really don't see how the McCain camp can spin the Palin pick as being more than Fall pandering. In contrast to Obama's choice as an advisor in his presidency. At least Obama's choice does tell us a little bit about his choice of advice.

I was a little lost on the lead up to death. Malnourishment, weakened immune system, AND THEN YOU DIE!!! Seems to me there should be a step or to in there that they are skipping.
