The story is told of a wealthy businessman wooed by the Boston Symphony to make a donation. He is escorted to a balcony box and, as the music begins, a fund-raiser whispers, “We lose money on each show.”
“Really?” the businessman asks, incredulous. The fund-raiser nods, and the businessman shouts “Stop the music!”

I learned reading, writing, and arithmetic when I was in school.....let 'em put in their silly political correct agenda. People like me who have skills will be in tremendous demand. They will be too busy teaching diversity and sensitivity. The teachers and principles will be delighted to "graduate" all these beautiful people who know nothing they need to. The teachers union will trumpet their great 'success" of promoting and graduating ignorance. Go for it moonbats.....gut education!!!
Problem is, HD, it's hard enough as it is to get correct change at McDonald's. Dumb it down anymore and we simply won't HAVE enough people who can add, spell and speak in complete sentences to function as a nation. Thank you, NEA, for your wonderful contributions to the quality of education. In case you NEA pinheads didn't catch it, that's known as sarcasm.
