If you just look at the length of this thread, it's apparent that EDUCATION is going to be a key issue in the governor's race. Jeb's the only one running with a TRACK RECORD regarding education. No reason to mention the dems. You know who they are. LOL I read today that class size is being debated here in Florida. What will the dems do if their favorite issue ad nauseum, class size, is dealt with BEFORE THE ELECTION? Oops!

I saw this ad.....It was great to see! Teachers of the year speaking on behalf of the great job Jeb is doing....I really like this man. Wouldn't it be great if George W. got in for a second term...and then Jeb gets in? Hopefully though..W is going to stop this wishy washy stuff and get tough again...

This from the CNS News Service Article, "One last national statistic needs mentioning," Antonnuci wrote analyzing annual statistics published by the Labor Department, "the aging of the union membership." "About 18 percent of all workers over the age of 45 belong to unions, but only 15 percent of the 35 to 44 age group and 11.5 percent of the 25 to 34 age group do," he continued." What I love is that my daughter, who recently received her teaching degree from Michigan State University passed on the opportunity to see then President Bill Clinton speak at the university during the 2000 Presidential election year but was thrilled and excited to attend when George Bush came to campus and equally enthusiastic at being able to vote for him. There is hope for America's Future Teachers!

Thank you for sharing that. Quite unexpectedly, I myself burst into tears when I heard GW say in a televised speech that we must all stand "WITH" our nation's teachers. Congrats to your daughter! BTTT! :)

I just love teachers! They rock my world inside and out.

The Demos and the NEA think they control campaign funds confiscated from all teachers!
