Re: Gov. Bush, Mayor Bloomberg Seek NCLB "Reforms"

[Free2teach1@aol.com]

If these idiots would spend half as much time on economic reform, health  
care reform, energy reform, racial reform, etc. we wouldn't be in the mess we  
are in.
Glad to see they have something to keep them busy when they aren't flying  in 
their private jets for vacations in luxurious hotels.
 
Really getting sick of the bs. Yes.

<>GOV. BUSH VOWS NATIONAL SCHOOL REFORM
Miami Herald --  December 5, 2006
by Nirvi Shah

After indelibly marking Florida with  his own public education legacy, 
Gov. Jeb Bush said Monday he will work to  make the federal No Child Left 
Behind law look more like the school  grading system he created.

Bush and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg  visited a Miramar Elementary 
fourth-grade class on Monday to illustrate  their pledge to work together 
toward renewal of the vast federal education  law, as well as their 
intention to lobby for changes.

The pair have  joined forces, Bush said, because Florida and New York 
City have tried  similar innovative educational strategies that have 
reduced the gap in  performance between white and minority students, 
although they still have  a long way to go. They hope that Florida and 
New York City public schools  -- both huge and racially diverse systems 
-- can share education  ideas.

''It's called modeling,'' Bush said.

Flanked by  Bloomberg, New York City schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein and 
Florida  Education Commissioner John Winn, Bush said the 5-year-old 
federal law  created by his big brother, President George W. Bush, needs 
to take after  his A-Plus plan. The law is up for renewal by Congress 
next  year.

Given the existence of an idealized vision of the community,  movements of 
protest are likely to occur within the political nation when the  discrepancy 
between the image and the reality comes to seem intolerably  wide.
