[Grovenet] No Child Left Behind?

[David Morelli]

Remember how the Compassionate Conservatives want everyone to be  
responsible for their own actions, and that the families should take  
care of their children's education?

This young lady lives with her grandpa because her mother bailed on  
her at age two, and her dad is a convicted drug user in prison.  I  
guess her parents had other priorities, and she didn't get an  
education on her own.

Maybe children don't learn as much when they are left dangling by the  
adults in their lives.

By the way, the girl was ignorant of geography, but she was aware of  
that shortcoming.  She didn't freeze or collapse when she knew that  
she absolutely didn't have a clue, and she didn't try to bluff her  
way through the process.  I can think of at least one President who  
isn't that wise.
