My, Wasn't Che a Cuddly Fellow.

I have to admit that I am a bit further from that issue now that my kids are in their teens and twenties. My father was an educator all his life so I understand some of the issues. Head Start and NCLB have all had merits but like most feel good things that come out of Washington they are unfunded mandatest that in the end make us pick and choose among those who are most likely to succeed, not who needs it the most. Georgia's Hope Scholarship program is one of the things that kept us here and so far it is working for many kids who could never have afforded to go to college.

I see things differently on the socialism thing. I feel that the masses want Socialism for everyone and wealth redistribution in an effort to gain parity the easy way, tax those who busted ass to make it good and give it back to those on the dole so things don't have to be so tough for them. I say becareful what you wish for, in the end no one will be happy.
