You're all over the map in more ways than one in your reply to me. Assumptions galore and questions directed at me that have little to nothing to do with what I was saying to you. What? You think because Obama is speaking about doing things that you and I both disagree with that somehow makes your point? I have no argument with you that Obama has ideas and in the past and in the present that he has implemente or remarked upon that I am in disagreement with.
You're speaking to someone else and, I don't know who it is. You once again state that you could find past comments from people on this board that make your point. So what? I told you that anecdotal evidence about a few who were and are not now paying enough attention to who Obama was and is does not make the case that many were not and are not paying attention. In case you haven't noticed that theme has been the subject of many MSM programs and also on some blogs. I disagree with it.
Maybe I haven't been making myself clear. If so, I'm tired of trying at this time. Especially since you seem to be in really pissy mood about something, so I'm finding it quite difficult to communicate with you.
Yeah, the education system needs and has needed a lot of work. Is that supposed to be news? Specific to that, my daughter has made a career in teaching, and she has written and published a new and successful approach to teaching children reading. Her new curriculum is in the process of making headway in school districts in northern California. Soon, I expect, many more districts will be using it also. I can't think of a better way to improve on our education system than to teach children from a young age to learn how to make the most out of critical thinking due to an ability to read and understand what they are reading.
