You just can't make up this kind of stupidity

Let's see, the educational bureaucracy is so cumbersome we need to teach that as a critical skill in secondary schools?!

Oh, and that's a knock on the private schools as well. Maybe some students would like to enter the military. Or maybe entering a trade school ought to be offered at 14, not after wasting 4 years of your life.

Brown is a sorry ass excuse of a person. He might as well be a republican, his approval ratings are bout as low. He is one of the 2 city wide offices some of us are attempting a recall vote on. The other is Mayor Gray.

In an interview in the WAPO last fall, he said he did not understand why people were worked up about lack of ethics. He compared himself to JFK since the Kennedys were corrupt. So he really is that stupid. If I can find it I will post it. It was almost like I was reading the onion.

The ward 5 city councilman resigned a couple of days ago since he is going to federal prison. Thomas was going to be a target for a ward recall.

I do not mind students taking act/sat test though.

Quote:D.C. Council Chairman Kwame Brown, who introduced the bill, said the proposal would establish a "mandatory workshop" to teach teenagers how to apply for aid and admission.

Can that be home schooled?

I do not know if DC allows home schooling, but then have never read anything on it.

So let's see:

More government patronage jobs for school counselors, more student debt for useless time at college ($Group Studies degrees or incomplete degrees)

You can probably apply on line, but if you can't read the application....

Seems like it.

All I need to know is that K. Brown was the sponsor of this bill.

Because we all know the track record of success that Kwame Browns have in DC?
