Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment?

Easy. Keep schools closed when they should be open, don't do a very good job of training teachers, monitoring their work, and rewarding excellence, don't make changes in schools where changes are needed, don't spend more money, and don't fight the special interests that put themselves ahead of parents and children. That's not so hard, is it? Art ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together. You've gotta check out free AOL Mail! - http://mail.aol.com
